Rain to shine we survive Following his six o'cIock newscast, the weatherman became one of the most dis- liked T.V. figures by students. A typical example was the forecasting of snow on one weekend night which kept students from attending their usual weekend hap- penings, only to have them find out that all the weather did was get a little chilly. Everyone was then left wondering what happened to the snow, sleet, and ice. It was the same old trick just about every time with warm sunny weekdays, fol- lowed by cold, dreary weekends, though winter was not as harsh this year. Unfor- tunately for students and teachers alike, school was never dismissed for bad weather, but rain certainly made up for the lack of snow and ice. Sudden downp- ours became common and very irritating to those who happened to get caught in them. A quick run from the parking lot to the school buildings left students soaked and mad, holding a wet, limp notebook. Another typical trick of the fickle Texas weather that students inevitably had to put up with was the sudden change from cold, winter-like days to warm, summer- like days. Students often ate breakfast while looking at a bleak, icy morning but ate lunch under a hot summer sun. Need- less to say, picking out clothes to wear was a tedious task for those who wished to remain comfortable all day, no matter what the weather was like. All in all, the weather became a fact of life, and the quick changes from hot to cold and from rainy to sunny became just a fate that every student was forced to adjust to. 24 I Student Life Debbie Martinez grins with dismay as Sitting on the benches in front of tl she comes in soaking wet from the school, students enjoy one of the til rain outside. warm days of spring.

lu Prom Class to jobs - Teachers to bosses As gas prices continued to rise, so did the importance of an after school job. Money was needed for dates or just to spend or blow at the mall. At the mall, there were a vari- ety of jobs. Working in jewelry, clothes, shoe, drug, or gift stores were just a few of the many types offered. Seniors Russell Porter and David Cor- win enjoyed working at Yes- terday's. Russell commented that he liked working at Yes- terday's and went on to say that he was sometimes able to find money on the floor! Many students worked at the mall and felt that the only bad thing about working there was hav- ing to work nights. Some other students chose to get jobs that they might like to go into as a profession. 26 X Student Life Senior Eddie Lewis worked at King's Daughters in the x-ray department. Eddie planned to go on to school and learn how to work in a lab and to also study radiology. There were also jobs at res- taurants including fast-food restaurants. Where alcoholic beverages were served, a stu- dent had to be 18, but in fast- food restaurants, underclass- men, even those under 16, could usually get a job. The pay might not be minimum wage for those under 16, but it was still a job. There were many different types of jobs, and there were many reasons for working, but the main reason was for the money and the good feeling that having it brought. tn-'htel Photos by Patti Welttef .
