12 PART-TIME JOBS Owning a worm ranch is a big enterprise for determined freshman by Roxane French While many people work in restaurants, or grocery stores, freshman Brian' Garr is into raising worms. He began his worm ranch in March 1980 and since then he has amassed $600. Briants father loaned him the initial $500 investment. Since then, Brian has repaid his father and collected a nice profit. Brian feeds them a combination of wet newspaper, cardboard and worm food. His slimy-profit-makers must also be kept between 500 - 700. They actually generate heat, and there are actual cuts in the Garris heating cosu Brian sells them to bait shops. Worms have such personality, smiles Brien. as he takes some worms lrom the fattening box to be sold to worthy customers. Standing amongst his 300,000 worms is freshmen Brien Garr. Observers gather to gaze upon the Charles- town Motor Speedway racers as they prepare to begin the track competition. v, :9?!

Juniors raise $3000 for ,81 Prom by Kathy Johnson Every class needs funds, but the one with the most pressure on it is the juniors. This year the stress was multiplied due to the recession. Officers were elected in the Spring so they could slave away the summer raising money. They began with a project attempted tor the first time this year, selling fireworks. From there they went on to have car washes every month till school started. After that was when the real push began. Juniors had a dance at the American Legion, went to Ivy Techis show and tell days, and inherited the Haunted Gym from last years Juniors. They also tried another first, an all-school hayride. Class dues contributed quite a bit to the treasury, along with the sale of cookies, calendars, and bumper stickers. All this stress is due to the Prom. Silver Creek is one of the few schools around that has a free prom. h Juniors . . . the class with the most stress and pressure on it.
