Students hold down part-time jobs Are you going to the game tonight? No, I have to work tonight. This was a common saying of a lot of students. Many students relied of their part-time jobs as their main source of income. Darvin Vetter liked his job at Kentucky Fried Chicken.

Aberdeen's indoor refrigerated ice system boosted interest in this action packed sport. And if hunting and hockey weren't fa- miliar, perhaps the terms pas de deux, pirouette, and grande jete, rung a bell. Students took classes in everything from ballet and pointe to tap and jazz. They may have gone to classes up to four times a week, and in June they put on a recital. If the workings of the business world fascinated one, he might be in Junior Achievement. Junior Achievement al- lowed high school students the chance to set up their own company, make and sell products, earn wages and salaries, and share in all company decisions.
