X The meaning of M.O.N.E.Y. is clear, Its presence, however, is seldom near. Thus, let us take the time, its meaning to clearly define: M is for the many things that money often brings. ' O is for the Oscar de La Rentas to go with the Gloria Vanderbelt jeans. N is for the necessities that your parents make you buy - out of all your money saved - boy, it makes you wanna cry! E is for the efforts you put forth to earn. Y is for the many many things for which you yearn. Don't be discouraged, don't be a jerk, come on you all, we've just begun to work. Talking to the Navy recruiter, Chris Ford prepares for the future. Making his job a pleasure, Eugene jackson works diligently. Iobs Students Hold The jobless rate of the Proviso East student body is very high. However, working, for the most part, presents itself as a past-time for many Proviso East Students. UIt's almost like playing grown-up , comments Jackie Tillman I'82j. llFirst, there's school, which presents itself as home with fellow students acting as family. Then there's work. Here, meeting people opens a whole new corridor to life. Next there's home, this time real home. Home reminds me, as a working student, of a place for relaxa- tion. You're too tired to do homework, therefore, you just relax and unwind. See it's just like mommy and daddy . llWorking makes me feel indepen- dent, and it keeps money in my pockets, says Andre Schaffer I'82j. Mary Papa's job at Universal Design as a key punch operator prepares for a promising future in computer program- ming in college. Lynette Richter I'8Ij has been a salesperson for K-Marts for IIA years. She's saving money for college. To her, the advantages of working are getting to know people - it makes it easier to talk with people. Working at K-Marts also gives her an insight to how the retailing market works. 'IPersonally, I find it a challenge to work and go to school at the same time, comments Lisa Courts I'81j. 'Now that I'm working I can pay for my own things. I meet a lot of people. Some of my closest friends I've met here at work, states Karen Manak ifaij. Ill like working, it gives me a feeling of responsibility, as well as providing me with money, - Paul Boyd I'82j. Here are just a few comments from a few working students here at East. The reasons for working varies. The places of employment differ. 'Working provides me with an outlet for steam. I suppose it's different strokes for different folks, - Tesa tan.

Welcome to Maywoodl Home of the Proviso East Pirates. Population 26,547 It doesn't consist of the fast moving pace of New York or downtown Chicago, nor does it contain palm trees that can be found on the sandy beaches in Hawaii, but what Maywood does have is an atmosphere that changes like the weather. In fact, it fre- quently appears to change with the seasons, Riding down Madison Avenue, Maywood's Main Street in disguise, in the summer time is like riding in the Rose Bowl Parade, whereas in the winter riding down Madison reminds one of a trip to grandmothers house , says Lisa Courts 0811. UMaywood is a town full of spirit and spunk. The recreational facilities offer innumerable ways for enjoyment. However, l feel the citizens have yet to realize it. In my opinion, Maywoodians should draw closer together instead of pulling apart. Needless to say, this is home , comments Keith Tillman f'8lj. Maywood's recreational facilities and the Little League department give growth and character of mind and well bodies. Such talents of lim Brewer, Theo Shaw, and Glenn Rivers, to name a few, were nurtured through Maywood's baseball programs. Meet The v . .,f, 'N xl ll me A l a ,fe -A gist. - I 'il ,,-,,A...v A , f .

Over the years it has continued to grow in size of teams, however, it has diminished in parent cooperation and participation, commented former graduate of East, Clarence jackson NH! l . National Pride Car Wash is a popular attraction on Madison Avenue. f'65j vice president of Maywood Little League. The Community Center is in many ways similar to Chicago's health clubs. Martial arts lessons, dance classes, sing- ing and theatrical performances are all just a few activities enjoyed by the young and old at the Community Center. The outer beauty of the Com- munity Center seems to flow into the inner souls of the people inside willing to work with each other and make it a lovely place to go. Speaking of beauty, Maywood's new fire department is a beaut. The modern structure clearly demonstrates the town's progressiveness.
