Life not only filled with playing around, young occupy time Ao ct w The beginning of summer did not necessarily mean long, leisurely days for all vacationing students. Trying to finance a car, pay for insurance and save for college were just a few of the reasons young people found many of their summer hours dedicated to part-time and full-time jobs. Other students were nvolved in volunteer organizations which required a good part of their time. High school students were mainly drawn to part-time occupations. De- partment stores such as Sanger Harris. Penney’s and Joske’s employed a large part of these young people. Senior Ravi- van Xuancao worked a 30 hour week at Neiman Marcus. 1 needed the spending money and money to save for college,” commented Ravivan. On the average, department stores paid $3.50 an hour for their work. Senior Mary Cash stayed under the sun earning money during the summer. “1 worked at White Water about 29 hours a week to have spending money and money to have fun on,” said Mary. White Water, as well as other sum- mer parks, rely on young people work- ing part time as their main help. Though part-time jobs were the most popular, a few eager students found the energy to take on full-time jobs. Clusters, such as air conditioning or architecture, helped students find apprentice-type jobs. Though these oc- cupations required more time, students received more for their work. Architecture member Fred Lowr- ance said. “During the summer. 1 worked at Huitt-Zollars Consultant En- gineers full-time and received $5 an hour. 1 got the job through my cluster and 1 really learned a lot from it.” . Volunteer organizations and sports also took up students’ time. Church youth groups kept students involved in planning as well as attending activities. Volunteer centers such as Baylor Medical Center, employed volunteers for a few hours a week to answer phones, help patients and clean up. Working out to keep in shape for sports also took up hours of students' time. Students learned that though sum- mer symbolized a time for play and lei- sure, it also meant a lot of hard work and dedication. •Lynda Bennett yretchen Cox. member of Joske's Teen Board, dedicated much of her time to fashion shows and other board rcspon- ies.
