Spending Money Isn't Hard Hi Ho, Hi Ho we're off to spend some dough. Many students were fa- miliar with this 'tune' yet before spending any form of cash they had to earn it. Many students earned their money by working at local fast food restaurants, convenience stores, and mall shops. Others found it more convenient to 'bum' cash from their parents. After overcoming this prob- lem, students found the rest easy. When asked what she liked to invest her money in, Iinjer lones sophomore, commented, Clothes, of course! And definitely junk j ewel- ry. I mean really, I couldn't see my cash going anywhere else. Iones was not alone as many Pittsburg High students felt the same. Most senior found, though, that they weren't exactly spending less money but just spending their cash on more practical things. Ray Hack- ett, Senior, agreed that as a senior, I spend more money on things for school. Things like clothes: you know, things I use more often. Money was also spent on con- certs, ski trips, gifts for friends and family during the holiays, and school activities. There were also students who found it difficult to spend money as they were either saving up for a car or an education after high school - Chris Scott Spending Money . . .

Persistent Students At Work FUTURE GOALS COME INTO PERSPECTIVE ROP, Regional Occupational Program, had its purpose providing a wide variety of specific vocational programs for Contra Costa County residents, age sixteen and older. ROP training developed skills, abili- ties, attitudes, and work habits for the students who applied. ROP skills that had been developed by the stu- dents were used to enhance their college classes while they earned a living. Students found the program very comfortable. Since instruction was set by the individual, working at his own pace made it much easier to work toward goals. ROP is probably the best job opportunity program that has been offered to students who qualify. Stu- dents who have attempted in trying out their future skills will encourage them more than they think, said ROP teacher, Bruce Dexter. A few interesting programs that were offered here on campus were: Word Processing, instructed by Mr. Dexter: Graphic Arts, instructed by Mr. Henry, and Metal Technology, instructed by Mr. Dumin. These are all excellent programs for students with these skills. There were also programs offered at different schools in the area where students were able to apply. I've experienced all I wanted to know, and I'm still learning a lot more. Working at a beauty school had many of its own responsibilities, and working at my own pace, I was able to get a lot done, said senior, Latara Rhodes. Rhodes also stressed how much she was pleased with it. Rhodes was enrolled at Paris Beauty School in the Park N' Shop area in Concord. Iunior, Cynthia Sarcos was en- rolled in a Fashion Merchandising program held at Antioch High School. Sarcos has a great interest in fashion and clothing, she felt this program had given her further in- centive. I've always like clothes, ever since I was a little girl I have al- ways wanted to learn more about clothing manufacture. And in this program, I enjoyed working with other girls, and perfecting the abili- ties and skills that I had. ROP had not been offered to students only in high school, but adults were also able to apply. Those who enrolled in programs did so to continue the skills and abilities that they already had knowledge of. - Sherrie Pena CONGENTRA TING Iohniece Page steadily works on the WordStar computer program. 28 . . .
