Working on the wee nd A popular song of the 1980's called- Working for the Weekend, described a number of Tascosa students as they sought jobs in order to pay for cars, dates and school activites. The opening of Westgate Mall, add- itions to Western Plaza and renovations to Sunset Center, opened many new job opportunites for high school aged students. And, of course, fast food restaurants were always hiring students. Meeting people seemed to be one of the best parts of holding a job. jessica Moore, junior, worked for Noel's Nursery. One of the worst parts of my job is stocking, but other than that I really like my job. julie Vennell, senior, who worked at Sears commented, It's a challenge. I like meeting people, but I do not like impatient customers. Because of grading standards being raised, many working students may have a difficult time holding down a job and also keeping their grades up.

I like my job, said Moore, I would not trade it at all. lil Edited by Kristy Wicker Below TONYA FENNELL, junior, helps COLBY HENLEY. senior. find ajacket in just the right size.
