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!

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.

MEE 1986—A LIMITED EDITION A-9 Students show appreciation for staff In recent months, much has been said and published about frnerican education. Unfortunately, much of the talk has been in a negative light. Teachers have often been blamed for many of the problems in pubi i c educat i on. In an effort to let Sandy's teachers know that we care about you, the Le ade r sh ip class began a program to show the staff that they are appreciated. After a hectic Homecoming Ueek, the staff was awarded with a breakfast of donuts and coffee. I n add i t i on, the Leadership class set aside a day to give all club advisors and coaches a carnation and sash to thank them for the many long hours of time and devotion that they gave to Sandy's students. Chr i stmast ime found the Leadership class organizing a Faculty Cour t to honor 12 staff members voted on by the student body. But, perhaps the most obv i ous of the students' efforts was the birthday celebrations. On each staff member's birthday, at the start of 1st period, the Leadership group would come bearing a colorful hat and sash, a cupcake complete with candle, and musical wishes for a happy birthday. It was a moment that truly brightened the day for the birthday person. Betty Hi 1lyard Angus Anderson Jeanne Bondiey Jaun i ta Shuler Dian Hutchin Richard Kennedy 9
