“Where and how am | going to make money?” Throughout the school year, nearly the entire population of SHS had this same question on their minds. Money, however, seemed impossible to find by any easy plan. Much to their horror, students soon realized that they would have to per- form some type of labor if they wanted money. Suddenly — WORK became more than a new vocabulary word. Work paved the way to “saving for a car or college,” as most students casually re- marked. However, Amy Simp- son, a senior said, “lam saving my money for senior ex- penses.”” She had in mind the $30 senior dues. the $100 or more for a class ring, and extra money for gas and food needed when working on se- nior projects. Students found work in var- ious areas which ranged from the usual fast food restaurants to the unusual, like refueling planes. Andrea Smith, a soph- omore, and Steve Druieft, a ju- nior, found themselves working for P.E. Coach Bill Micks at his canoe and kayak rental store. Andrea stated, “A typical day would include washing and coiling 80 feet of rope, load- ing, unloading canoes, and hanging life jackets out to dry.” Sophomore Chris Kunkle, a lighting technician, worked in summer productions in the SHS auditorium. Once students began work- ing they found that a job could be hard, and even frustrating. However, those who stuck it out soon became used to the working ways. They found that the adult working world could be very exciting. O 46 Money

AFTER SCHOOL noise pollution is c on- tributed to by Greg Flynn, a graduate, and seniors Danny Haynes and David Sumpolec. BEER and other alcoholic beverages were a common refreshment at weekend parties and activities. ‘Health Hazards) “Living is hazardous to your health,” summed up sopho- more Karen Bland, when soeaking of the various health hazards plaguing everyday life in the ‘80's. “Warning: The surgeon general has determined that cigarette smoking is danger- ous to your health.” This appeared on every cigarette package and ad, but the stu- dents still flocked to the smok- ing area. “Smoking doesn’t en- danger me now, but if bothers me to think what it could do to me when | get older,” said ju- nior Cindy Pitts. 18 Health Hazards Junk food was a part of everyone’s life. After school vending machines contrib- uted to the availability of junk food. Favorites such as Her- shey bars and Cheeto’s had more calories than nutritional value. Poor nutrition at lunch time was Compounded by the con- stant sound of the jukebox, which blared out popular tunes at high-decibel levels. A more serious health hazard dealt with alcoholic beverages and drunk driving. Due to the fact that alcoholic beverages were easy to eT east = “ Al obtain, students were offen in- troduced to drinking at parties. A chapter of $.A.D.D. (Students Against Drunk Driving) was organized. The group met reg- ularly to discuss drunk driving problems and put together a bulletin board of statistics and articles. O NOISE POLLUTION played on the cafeteria jukebox in the form of popu- lar songs is enjoyed by students such as senior Tim Ross. CHRIS HAMM, a freshman, indulges in a junk food snack, a practice com- mon among students. : sa
