JOn the job Time is a major factor involved in holding a job and going to school. Even with 24 hours in a day, several students consider it a small amount in a combined school work situation. I have very little time to myself, Theresa Wil- kinson, junior, said. The day is filled, from the moment you wake up until you go to bed, Keith Schumann, said. Valuable experience is obtained from the pres- sure and devotion need- ed to hold down a job and school. This instills within a person the ability to cope with whatever the future may bring, Shannon Horton, se- nior, said. What is learned for working hard is remem- bered for life. School, extra curric- ular activities, and work provide a tremendous challenge, Schumann said. But when accom- plished, it shapes a well- rounded person pre- pared for the future. ON THE JOB LLil.

WORKING Sinking into a com- fortable bed after a long day at school and work is all he can think about. Suddenly he remembers the stack of school books that hasn ' t been touched. This student and many others go to a full day of school and then on to a job. Work- ing late hours and then returning home to find homework is just anoth- er part of their routine. Six classes and then a job makes for a tight schedule, but reflects both positive and neg- ative aspects. The favor- able aspect is the money earned, whereas the un- favorable is the lack of sleep. It is hard to get enough sleep and get up the next morning and face school, said Cyn- thia Hernandez, junior. CHANGE: Working at a toy m store can be interesting. Fred ; Garcia takes time to count out ■ i the change for Zara Rodriguez. FAST FOOD: Working at a fast food restaurant requires a good memory as well as speed. Melissa Rodriguez closes the box as she gets ready to call out the number of the order. Many students find jobs working in fast food res- taurants.

At 3:30 p.m. the last bell of the day rings and drones of kids flood the halls. The different per- sonalities stand out through the clothes they wear. Stereotypes, such as kikkers, preps, punks, and thrashers are obvious through their style of dress. Fashion is one ' s own individual style, Curtis Moyer, junior said. Fashion is this and more. Fashion is a passing fad, Sarah Hammack, junior, said. It is the way you dress, your hair style, what you eat and what you say. POPULAR: Scott Adams en- joys the laid back look of Country. Because many stu- dents live outside the city lim- its, this look is very popular. Making a statement in FASHION S I i This year ' s fads have included the comeback of the mini skirt, cropped tops and acid washed jeans. Leggins, ankle boots and black and white checked clothing also invaded the fashion scene. I like to go shop- ping, Cynthia Ortega said. I try the things that appeal to me, not necessarily what ' s ' in ' . I like winter clothes, Elsa Garcia said, especially sweat- ers. The winter season did encouragae the sweater fashion. Turtleneck sweaters became espe- cially popular. The best part of my wardrobe is my old ten- nis shoes, David Barth said. Most people simply prefer the most comfort- able clothing that they own. 1 wear what 1 feel like, what I can be the most comfortble in, Amanada Gonzales, se- nior, said. ADIDAS: Daryl Bates feel at ease in his Adiaas jogging suit. Most students wear comfort- ble, casual outfits to school.
