Not all of a student's life is spent inside the walls of the school building. Many high school students find it neces- sary to work part-time after school to give them the money to do the type of things they would like to do. In a small school, where every student can be very busy, it is a challenge to find enough time, but a number of students were employed by local businesses like Dahl's IGA, Gunderson Motors, Pine Tree Apple Orchard, Preston Nursing Home, the Valley View Drive In, and Get 'N Go market among others. When students sought excitement of a grander order than they found in the streets of Preston. Rochester is where many of them would automatically head. There all the big city conven- iences of first-run movies, shopping malls, and all night restaurants could be found. Perkins was a favorite, but nobody was ignoring McDonald's or the other fast food places cither. One of the few big honors awarded to 1st graders is bestowing on them the title of Homecoming attend- ant. In the competition this year, Gerrie Erickson and Andrew Goldammer were selected. In the inter- view conducted as part of Coronation, they both seemed to indi- cate that they enjoyed the honor, especially the part that allowed them to miss enough school to participate in the Homecoming parade in an open con- vertible, as well as during the halftime of the game on Friday, September 26. They were the envy of all of their classmates. Newsmakers 9
