Punk, Rock, Metallica, New Wave, you name it! The style of dancing this year was danced to any type of music possible. ' The beat from the music is what gave you the rhythm you needed to start a :new or old dance. y This year the dances at H.H.S. were ull of spirit and laughter. Everyone had he energy to keep the dances going ntil the very end. But the only problem was that some people felt that the gances should of been held longer ecause of the time you got there the ,dance was almost already over. Many of the dances we had were mainly after-game dances which didn't leave very much time to dance. I think that I would like more dances, because it's good time to get with your friends and have fun, said Margarita Noriega. On the other hand others think that the dances should have been longer as senior Dawn Sadowski said, I think the dances needed to be held longer than usual. I remember one dance I went to after a football game that was only an hour long because the game ended so late. A lot of dances are only a 'couple of hours - too short! J' , The Dance girls at the-Homecoming the question: Will you dance with me? 20 Student Life Although the 'dances were not always the greatest there were still some good points. An example of a great dance would have been Homecoming. A lot of people went and everyone was having a great time getting down and going wild as they danced to their favorite songs. The dances were also a great time for friends to get together and get crazy. But it was also a time to meet other people or even maybe make a new friend. As senior Karen Torres explained, Yeah, I enjoy the dances here at H.H.S., especially since all of my senior friends went this year. We 1 always had a great time. How low can you go? PENNSYUIML

HE D ILY GRI i To some, having a part-time job is a necessary burden, they need the money so everyday they trudge to work with their feet dragging. However, this sorrowful view is not shared by everyone. To many starting their first job is like a burst into the world of high finance. The first pay check is a very exciting experience for a newly hired teenager. It is easy to recognize the First Pay Check Syndrome by the wide open, darting, sale searching eyes, and the increased pulse to insure a quick grab for the wallet at their favorite store's counter. Part-time jobs are a student's ticket out of the dull drudgery of penniless weekend activities, or of having to remind parents that they have not giveni out allowance. Jobs bring a sense of independence and help to break the chord from their parents, something that must be done before a teenager graduates. Teens that were once bound to home or their neighborhood can now travel and visit friends much more easily with their newly acquired transportation. They can go for pizza or Cokes whenever they want, and even go to other cities to have fun. Many people with part-time jobs do not associate these freedoms with their jobs. When they think of their jobs, thoughts come to mind of pushy bosses, bad hours, and not getting that big raise. Anne Jenkins begins to prepare an avocado and turkey sandwich. When I got my first job... said senior Richard Lipscome, ...my spare time seemed useless. l could have been out making money at work. The skills learned while on the job, such as responsibility and quick mindedncss, are not as important as the money to most. Some would probably do anything for a good steady pay check. My money is for shopping and for the weekends, said senior Francisca 'Perez, Otherwise there would be no entertainment for me. So , as we grow older, and our thoughts turn to the wonderful '87-'88 H.H.S. year, we'll think a lot about our jobs, but even more about the fun that our money allowed us to have. dvi Ari Removing the maple creams for a waiting customer, Anne Felice proves that she lives to serve.
