MEE MA 1986—A LIMITED EDITION A-7 NEON PINK SOCKS are the style -for Math teacher Roger Ford on Tacky Tourist dress-up day. SEVERAL IDENTITY CRISES strike students in Miss Ney's Speech I class during Homecoming dress-up days. Dress-up days evoke enthusiastic response School can be such a boring place. Day in and day out, the pattern rarely changes. The same people are in the same classes day after day. One thing that can add a bit of excitement and i n terest to the otherwise boring day is the opportunity to dress up in wild and outlandish costumes. While Spirit Week is probably the wildest costume week of the year, Christmas, Winter Court and Spring Fest also provide the opportunity for some eccentric fashions. Dress-up days range from fairly mild (Red and Black, Hawaiian, and Sports) to the mildly wild (Punk Rock, Stuffed Animal, Nerd, and Tacky Tour i st). Whatever the day, the costumes lend a bit of comedy to the atmosphere which brightens the whole attitude of the school. 11' s a pleasant break from the monotony of everyday school life. ■1 WtffT MY MOmr! bawls baby-doll Angie Griggs complete with baba.

An unofficial hoii day celebrated by little children all over the country. But while those little kids are dressing up and going door-to-door yelling Trick or treat? what are those bio kids doing? Tradition has held that Halloween is the time to spread mild types of vandali sm throughout the town. (Haven't your parents told you about the ir days when they soaped windows, tossed raw eggs, and smashed jack-o-1anterns?) The truth of the matter is that many of those bi q kids just haven't grown up. They can be seen out there in costumes, along with the little kids, carrying huge grocery bags to collect some goodies. In an attempt to minimize vandalism, many local organ i zat ions provided entertainment in the form of Haunted Houses. In addition, various groups sponsored Halloween parties with prizes for the best costumes. All in al1, the mi sch i ef was kept to a minimum. More kids were out there treating rather than tricking.

A-8 MEE hW 1986—A LIMITED EDITION FOR THE LOVE OF MONEY Students cash in on part-time jobs Money! It was once said to be 'the root of all evil.' High school students of the '80's, however, seem to think it is the answer to all of their problems. Many high school students have part time jobs before and after school, and on weekends. Why? Won't they have to be 'out own their own,' and 'paying their own way,' soon enough? Reasons that students work vary greatly. Some do it because they absolutely have to have transportation which means bills for gas, insurance, the vehicle itself, and any necessary repairs and maintenance. Others do it because they need extra spending money to pay for their designer clothes and hours in the tanning booths. Still others see it as an opportunity to stock-pile money for use at college. Whatever their reasons, the fact remains that some high school students will seek jobs before they have to totally support themselves. Most students turn to the restaurant business to earn their dough. But wherever the students are employed, most of them will agree that performing well in both job and at school can sometimes be a difficult task to pull off. Still, they can't do much without that 'good old American dollar' in their pocket!
