Bob Wallace 20 Jobs The 2:15 bell did not mean soap operas, hockey games, rest, and relaxation for most students, but usually they had to grab a bite to eat at home and race off to a part-time job. Many juniors and seniors held afterschool and weekend jobs. Most were located at the Spotsylvania Mall and were minimum wage postions. Many teenagers were outra- ged at the minimum wage and were looking forward to seeing it raised. It seemed that every fast food place had a help- ecks Balance wanted sign out, but students didn’t want to work with food. — Food meant grease, heat, and undesirable uniforms. Depart- — ment stores and small bouti- — ques were the jobs most sought after. to the rule where students made alittle more money than most. Kip Godsmith, who worked the furniture depart- ment at Sears, made comis- sion sales which could really — work to his benefit. “It really makes me work harder, mc, We ee because the harder I work, the more I make.” explained Gold- smith. Balancing jobs and homework were probably the toughest thing for students to handle. “Sometimes I have so There were a few exceptions — much homework to do I just take it to work and hope nobody sees me.” commented Lori Truslow who worked at Sears. Any way you looked at it, the job scene was not an easy one and it required a good juggling act. Emily Beggs

Spirit Yell Cheerleader Kim Wright attempts to recruit volunteers for the Orange Pass game at the bonfire.

Leila Ugincius and Kari Pickett carefully hammer a nail into the freshman float in preparation for the Homecoming game’s half- time parade. Jeff Huston 22 Spirit Week Spirit Weak. That’s what it should have been called. The week before Homecoming was designated as “a time to show what extremes you would go to for your school,” as Ci-Ci Mills said. But a poor show of school pep assaulted students of every grade. Why the bad attitude? “Because they think up dumb days,” confided senior Kindon Mills. Contradictory to how it may have looked, school spirit actually seemed uncommonly high this year, “dumb days” notwithstanding. In spite of the fact that hardly anyone dressed up for the “spirit building days”, the overall fee- ling was good, as the football team was doing much better than in previous years. The bonfire was well-attended and senior T-shirts sold like crazy. There was a sprinkling of sixties’ flavor on Tie-Dye Day and a flash of overcoats on Trench Coat Day, but hardly any advocates for Nerd Day. There were a number of spirited students who weren’t afraid to show it; senior Christine Neitzey dressed up for every single day. For Favorite Personality Day, Christine dressed as Madonna, borrowing all of her sister Cathy’s clothes in the Weak In Spirit process. Chip Wills put in an appearance as Elvis Presley, complete with his guitar. Other than the waning spirit days, the bonfire was a wonderful success. Said Christine MacKenn, “There were so many people there this year, and the games were really a lot of fun. Last year, practically the only people that showed up were the cheerleaders and the football team!” Games preceded the bonfire, leaving smashed eggs, cracker crumbs, and warped oranges covering the field. The bonfire was then ignited and some students attempted to roast marshmal- lows. A cheering conga line danced and leaped around the fire while the band hammered out the tune “Wipeout.” Senior T-shirts arrived in time for Blue and Gold Day, the last day of spirit before the homecoming game. After school, a trip to the vocational labs revealed the pungent aroma of glue and spray paint. The Cure blared from someone’s tape player and aluminum foil, chicken wire, and tissue paper littered the floor. The final touches were being added to the Homecoming floats.
