Carolyn Hopper tole paints in her spare time. Laurabeth Pierce expresses herself through singing. Hobbies Fill Students Free Time Students became involved in hobbies which dis- played their individual talents. Each hobby required patience and concentration. Every student ' s hobby corresponded to his own character. Some hobbies in- volved a time of being alone, but other, like Laura- beth ' s, were enjoyed most when shared. We did it this way!

Money Source Of Pleasure, Reason For Work End Of Childhood? MONEY — not even youth escapes its power. It has become a necessary evil for all ages. Transpor- tation, food and entertainment require a big chunk of allowance or earned wage. Gone are the good old days preached by parents as precious simpli- city. Replacing them are days of routine and effort to earn times of pleasure. Cars were once an extravagant luxury and status symbol for teenagers. Now the possession of a car is considered almost a necessity. Vicki Rich, a soph- omore, started buying her flashy Ford Courier in March. To pay the monthly $155 she works at the Dairy Treat for $2. 50 an hour. The number of hours a day varies from five to twelve. Unleaded gas costa about 58.94 a gallon and a wash at a do-it- yourself takes upwards of 604;. Vicki ' s response to sacrifice — 1 like it. It makes me have more res- pect for it--my paying for it. I don ' t want my pa- rents buying it. It gives me a sense of responsibility and I ' m glad it ' s all mine. A school lunch can be purchased for 604. At a short-order place, the nickel hamburger has ri- sen to the 99center . Five dollars will pay for a pizza for four and three or four dollars usually buys a single Me-xican dinner. Even bub- ble-gum isn ' t cheap considering that penny gum costs two cents. Entertainment may involve just riding around or be a date with dinner and movie. A ticket to Six Flags and $15 are given each band member preceding departure on annual trip. Wayne Pinkerton and Christi Christon choose the music at a gathering at the youth center.
