.k-aww' Work Experience Want to make some money? What about JA? Junior Achievement is a significant organization in the development of a high school students' business skills. JA was set up for high school students who were interested in learning the procedure of the American Enterprise System. The stu- dents elect a president who, with the help of the advisors, selects students to fill the remaining positions. All officers run their companies and have the same responsibil- ities as real business people do. Stock is sold to gain capital to begin each com- pany's production. Different assignments are given to each company member in the production of the product, or the assembly line method is used. Each student then tries to sell the product he made, hoping to make a profit for the company. Although breaking even is the main objective, each company tries to make a profit. All profits are returned to the stockholders. Junior Achievement not only develops business skills, but it also allows students to obtain valuable job contacts, excellent job references, and leadership talents. At the end of the semester the outstanding students from each company compete for trophies in their area of achievement. The top achievers will be eligible to attend the National Conference held in Indiana. The JA companies in Aiken are: Siad spon- sored by Owens-Corning Fiberglassg Granco sponsored by the Graniteville Com- panyg Junior Finance sponsored by Farm- ers and Merchants Bankg LaVista spon- sored by Kimberly-Clarkg Jibco sponsored by Reigal Textilesg and Coable sponsored by DuPont. The efforts of the students are rewarded when they are chosen to attend the various conventions. One such convention, Jamco, was held on December 28-30 in Charlotte, North Carolina. Two hundred Junior Achievers from four southeast states participated. Conferences, meet- ings, and competitions comprised the agenda during the day, and at night a dance was held. For added entertainment a Monte Carlo card room was provided. Jamco is a big event and only a select few are invited. Although small salaries are earned now, opportunities are available through JA to learn the skills which will make money later. William Corley. banker for J.A. companies. makes sure the amount of money taken in equals the re- ciepts. Junior Achievementf23

Liz Johnson ponders over what may turn out to be her next Christmas gift. 5 l 2 s Let's Hear It One Mo Bruce Springsteen, Devo, Maynard Fer- gusen, Rick James, Journey, and Alabama all have one thing in common - they're popular teenage music stars. From coun- try, to punk, to soul, to Heavy Metal - teenagers love it. They listen to their music everywhere - car stereos, home sound systems, and of course The Box. Teen- agers simply can't live without their mu- sic. They buy records upon records of their favorite group or groups, and if they can't buy a certain album they just crank up the radio to WBBQ, WTHB, or Rock 106, to hear all the new songs. Parents say the music is too loud, or too fast, but that overwhelming amount of energy, and such is the life of a teenager. One of the best places for teenagers to show their support is at concerts. Scream- ing, clapping hands, and swaying bodies at 5119 rw: if fs .41-'T ki so c 5 2 e Time set the scene as the band hits the first cord. The yelling and chanting continues as a background for the music throughout the concert, then, disappointingly, it's over. Then physically tired, yet psychologi- cally pumped up, the fans head for their cars with a ringing of remembrance in their ears. Teenagers love their music and show an unbeleivable amount of support. Albumsf25
