Sometimes they were fortunate enough to be able to work at something that they really enjoyed. What few realized was that often these students gave up precious study time, their favorite T.V. program, time to mess around, and that wonderful thing called sleep - all this, just to make that extra dollar for clothes, car payments, and higher education Whether a student worked or not, he always arrived home just in time to hit the books before collapsing from mental fatigue after a day's trying events in the Classroom. One of the hardest things for any student to do is to sit down after a hard day and devote what's left of his time and energy to his books. Fortu- nately, there were some teachers who understood that just being in high school takes everything you ever had out of you. So students worked on! 16

Ir. and Sr. beach parties are a soaking success Rumor had it that the Senior Beach Party would be held Sunday afternoon at Fedder's Alley. The weather was great so I decided to stop by and see if anything was happening. As I walked down the dune, I could tell the party was al- ready in progress bythe screams of unfortunate newcomers who were being thrown into the lake. I could see small groups of people talking and laughing together. At one end of the beach, a group of boys was playing football, while the onlook- ing girls gossiped about their sum- mer romances. Everywhere I could hear the question, Are you going to Rogers or Elston? Some just stood around and enjoyed the re- freshments supplied by Elston class officers, while still more joined in a game of blanket toss or frisbee. As the summer sun sank low and the chill of the September evening set in, everyone could be found huddled around a roaring bonfire, enjoying a conversation with friends. But when the fire died and the beach was empty, Rogers and Elston were separate. The junior Beach Party consisted of much of the same 4 throwing kids in the lake, playing football, and talking around a warm bonfire about summer experiences. Party sponsor, Mr. Peters, enjoyed a cool- ing dip in Lake Michigan jwith a little coaxing from the juniors presentj, while everyone else just relaxed and enjoyed one of their last summer days before school began.
