OUT WORKIN' Although life is filled with infinite joys, a good deal of time is spent working. 6V2 hours of a typical student's day is devoted to school and learning. But the time to work does not end when the last bell rings at 2.30 P.M. Most students find them selves rushing off to beat the time-clock at one of the numerous fast-food joints, supermarkets, or local stores. It is here that a whole new learning experience begins. Before find- ing a job, most students never could have imagined the fantastic experiences which have now become routine and repititious. Remember the first time the milkshake machine exploded? Or what about that proud feeling of accomplishment when the manager asked for a thousand dollar cash pick-up from your register. And, of course, who could forget the everyday dealings with difficult customers and clients. Many of today's young workers will gain valuable work-experience that will aid them in their future occupations. Others, unfortunately, may find that they have gained nothing more than a few dollars in the bank. Whatever the case may be, they have all learned a few things about people in general.

QUITTING TIME After a hectic day of work, every- one needs to take time off to share light moments. Whether it is a joke shared in the halls, or riding home on the 2:30 bus, students need to relax and enjoy themselves. Once the schedule and classes have become dull and repetitious, a free moment is not only a necessity, but it is also greatly welcomed. Since students love to goof-off, what could be more pleasing than a pep rally or a class competition assembly instead of those mundane morning classes? But the excitement does not end when the school year is over. It continues from fall football games to the spring musical leading up to graduation, The memories of these care-free moments will never be forgotten. They are more than just a time to play, they are a time to grow and learn. Smile! You're on Candid Camera. Off to a good start, Lisa Romano gets in on the fun as she blows a bubble during gym class.
