IMS make cents for many To some, holding down a steady job while go- ing to school was more of a pleasure than a pain. Kendal Blalock, a senior, said, “I like working at Chik-Fil-A in the mall around all the different people.” His co m m e n t w a s similar to that of Simone Hoi ness, who said, “I enjoy working at McDonald’s because I enjoy meeting people and giving birthday parties for the cute little kids. As for Juanice La Bruce, she stated, “I like mine because it is a challenge. She was referring to her position at Foley’s, but she also had jobs at the health department, K-Mart and McDonald’s. She commented. I have not saved a cent. I spend my money on school activities, clothes, gas money and paying off debts.” Matt 0 e h 1 e r, who worked at Karmelkorn in the mall, stated, “I have worked there for three years and have enjoyed it most the time. Having a job is a good way to make the year go by faster,” stated Robin Turner. 22 K|M-inling ami earning

symbol replaces annual fire Alt hough an onslaught of rain began the week of Homecoming, the activities continued despite altered or complete changes. However, the crowning of the Homecoming Queen, Kristi Viafore, remained the same. Activities began on Thursday, when the band held its annual chili sup- per. Afterwards, there was to be a car decorating con- test, suggested by Mr. Ed Wachtel, principal, although it was cancelled due to lack of participation. The newest school tradi- tion, the burning of the giant “R,” was held (ex- plained in detail on page 184). In the past, the tradition had been a bon- fire, but House Bill 72, among other reasons, prevented the school from having one. Explaining that this turned out for the best, Lisa Wilkerson, a junior, said, “The weather would not have permitted a bon- fire, while the new alter- native let us have some kind of event.” On FTiday, students dressed up in costumes to “Spook the Mustangs.” Later that night came the Homecoming game, in which the Rangers defeated the North Shore Mustangs 56-14, and Kristi was crowned Queen during halftime. At 7:30 on Saturday night, the dance began. Some couples came just to get their pictures taken, while others just sat around or danced the night away. Senior Curt Landrum said, “This was my last Homecoming dance to attend, but I had a great time with my friends. I thought it was a big success.” Dancing to the music provided by Fantasy Unlimited are students Simon Terry and Mary Martin. The annual dance, sponsored by the Student Coun- cil. was held October 27. in the com- mons. Photo by A. Perkins. Preceding the Homecom- ing Dance, many couples go out to dinner. Among them were Randy Lucas and Michelle Stark, who dined at Pappa’s with a few of their friends. Photo by R. Flowers. Band student display their school spirit in on attempt to Spook the Mustangs.
