Rogers students Make It Part Time Although some students got part-time jobs for the money, others got pure satisfaction out of volunteering their time. There were numerous volunteer activities in which students could take part. One such activity was Adopt-a- Grandparent program. Rogers' head counselor, Mrs. Presser, was the organizer of this program and had this to say, This program has been beneficial to both the H e 9. UL, NA students and to the residents. Twice a month, Mrs. Presser and students went to Red Oaks Rehabilitation Center and conducted an exercise Class for stroke victims, and anyone else who had been left paralyzed. The program erased the students' fear of the elderly, as some were so often afraid. -Janelle Jones Playing with the keys, Jeanette Scott is deeply involved with the Character Generator.

Some of the popular albums of 1984 form a tollagv 0n the rvtord storok floorr lifelines One of the most popular albums of 1984 was StUdentS tU rn IntO Syntthronitiiry by The Pulir'o, r I TV h h I V- Z lb . Ever since Cain and Able, teens have been finding ways to disappoint their parents. Before, their usual list of sins included staying out too late, eating too much junk food, and playing music at a deafening volume. Last year, a new torture was added to these old standbys with the emergence of the video. Students tormented their parents by sitting for hours on end, watching videos of their favorite songs. What is a video? many of our saintly, yet backwards parents would ask. A video we explained, is a short movie which is made by a musical group to go along with their current song. Many students could only annoy their parents for about an hour or so, but those with especially sadistic tendencies got MTV , or Music Television. These cruel teens could annoy their folks for twenty-four hours a day if they wanted to, but they had to pay. Though we were slowly advancing, technology still had a long way to go before we could drive our parents crazy enough to take over the earth. -Jennifer Franklin MTV turns some students into zombies, like Kim Requarth.

Volunteers offer Free Servuce Rogers students obtained a variety of part-time jobs. Unlike previous years, when the only jobs they could expect to get were at fast food restaurants, 1984 saw teenagers expanding their horizons of job possibilities. Although most students found employment in fast food restaurants, some mopped floors in hospitals, aided nurses in nursing homes and were receptionists, typists and custodians in community businesses. The adults saw responsible and hard working young men and women in Michigan City. The feelings shared by these individuals is best summed up by senior Dan Sells, I like my job at St. Anthony's Hospital because I like helping people and it will help me with my career as a radiologist. -Ania Kedzierski
