all lures employees A major oc cupation for Memorial students was spending money. As a result jobs had to be found. When it came to searching for that money- making venture, Eastland Mall was bombarded by nearly every junior and senior. I applied at the mall be- cause I knew I ' d never have to work too late, admitted Maureen Blankenship, senior. I knew that the stores close at nine o ' clock so I would be home by ten at the latest.

The work was pretty easy, too, she added. Another senior, Lissa Behme, had still other reasons for seeking employment at Eastland. I started out work- ing at Foxmoor and then changed to Maurices, ex- plained Lissa. Because of my previous experience, I started at $3.55 an hour, and I now make $3.75! She also liked the idea of working at a clothing store. Not only do I get a discount on my clothes, but I get some valuable experience, she said. I don ' t plan to work at Maurices all my life, but my work training can lead me into other careers such as fashion merchandising. Senior Kelly Warren also found the money to be tempt- ing. However, her main reason for applying in the mall was it ' s location. The mall is close to everything. It ' s so convenient to work at a place that ' s close to my house as well as every- thing on Greenriver Road. Jobs O

Fortunately students did not always have to spend $4.00 on a movie or sit at home and pick lint off their clothes. Ever so often a class or an organization would sponsor an informal dance to raise money for a certain cause. We col- I e c t e d about 400 cans and $200.00 for the canned food drive at the canned food dance , comment- ed Mr. Sch- u 1 1 h e i s , the spon- ser of the Student Council. Fresh- men soon learned that the Memorial cafeteria served a purpose other than a place to dine for 23 minutes. On a given Friday or Saturday night it was trans- formed into the Memorial Dancehall. These dances provided an opportunity for students to socialize outside of school. I thought the best part was getting together with my friends and acting crazy, Boys, and many others. As one sophomore put it, Dances were a great excuse to inconspicuously check out and possibly even talk to that person you ' ve had a crush on for quite a while. Singing along with Billy Idol, freshman Lon Crane moves with the beat. The music was often enhanced by light shows. Responding to the beat. Seniors David Miles.
