Gail Sherman worked as a cashier at Gino's. Hillary Sherr worked as a salesperson at Chess King. Working as a counselor at Beth T'fi1oh Day Camp was a popular job. Students such as Sherri Legum, Mar- lene Blinchikoff, Dina Burt and Me- linda Schapiro wiped many dirty faces and held lots of little hands. Some students never acquired a ti- tle. Helane Blumenthal did filing, xeroxing and other odd jobs at an accounting firm.

produced several modern problems. Businesses clutter Liberty Road with signs. Mary Basso, president of the Greater Randallstown Commu- nity Council, objects to the honky- tonk appearance of Liberty Road. In response, the GRCC has urged local politicians to propose legisla- tion halting the construction of gas stations-28 serve a two-mile stretch of Liberty Road-and preventing contractors from building additional shopping malls. During the past decade, Randall- stown has undergone an adjustment period of racial uneasiness created by the movement of urban blacks into an all-white suburban community. Residents accused real estate agents of drawing urbanites to the Liberty Road corridor. Despite these prob- lems, today blacks and whites live together harmoniously. In 1979 the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development chose to build government-subsi- dized housing in Randallstown. Protestors against HUD apart- ments organized to form the Com- munity Association of Suburban Ho- meowners, which ran an effective door-to-door campaign to stop the project. CASH member Blanche Ca- priolo claims that the area is not just oversaturated. Every little spot has been taken? CASH's efforts severely restricted the project's size. Because of this victory, ho- meowners have formed permanent action groups that oversee mall and housing construction. Recently a group of citizens drafted the Liberty Action Plan, which calls for im- provements in roads, landscaping and recreational facilities along Li- berty Road. Randallstown's problems do not overshadow the positive aspects of living here: the crime rate is low, residents are near the city, yet the country is a few minutes' drive away, community organizations are a strong force in local governmentg and the population's ethnic mixture gives Randallstown a cosmopolitan atmosphere. Thus, although change has stripped Randallstown of its commu- nity identity, rising concern over re- sultant problems indicates that Ran- dallstown will become more stable in the near future. 21133: Randallstown's Post Office A memorial to World War II Veterans - ..

Summer means Ocean City for thousands of people, especially for many Randallstown students. To these RHSers, Ocean City means warm, sunny days spent lying on the beach and fun-filled nights spent walking up and down the boardwalk, getting together with friends on the back porch of the Carousel, and just generally hav- ing a good time. Why are so many attracted to this small, crowded town on the Eastern shore of Maryland? Why do teens want to live, work or visit there all summer? What is so de- sirable about jobs which demand long hours and offer only average pay? The reasons are innumerable. I go to the ocean to meet people, to have fun, to get a tan and to par- ty! remarks senior Cheryl Savet- man. Junior Steven Blaustein's rea- sons are somewhat similar. I like to go on the beach and catch the women and the rays. My favorite thing to do there is meet peo- ple-of the opposite sex! Similarly, Renee Pintzuk goes to Ocean City to relax, meet peo- ple, and lay out in the sun, even though I don't lshe doesn't1 get a suntan. Another aspect of Ocean City's mystique is Coastal Highway-an always busy and overcrowded street which is to Ocean City as Sunset Strip is to Hollywood. It has hotels, motels, apartments and condominiums ranging in quality from seedy to ultra-mod- ern, restaurants serving every- thing from Big Macs to filet mig- non, and shop selling everything from sunscreen to designer cloth- ing. Coastal Highway's contrasts help create its attrahent charm. Whatever the attraction, people continue to flock there, squeezing out every last drop of summer fun until they must, once again, return to school in September. Summer 198011
