The Senior class of 1987 will be going on an extraordinary class trip this year. They will be taking a 5 day, 4 night cruise to Bermuda on the spectacular SS Galileo. Eighty percent of the class are expected to be going, while an unfortunate 20 percent will be staying home. The trip will take place between May 31 AND June 4. The class will be home just in time for Awards Night on June 5, and Graduation, which will be held on June 6. A survey was taken among the Senior class to see how they were paying for the trip and what they were looking forward to the most about the cruise. Markovvski and Filanowski, our original class hams, kissing up to the camera. 4 Cruise

Our school has many students who are em- ployed. In September a survey was taken on jobs. There were 87 Ju- niors and 65 Seniors who completed the sur- vey. Of those surveyed 64% had jobs. More Sen- iors are employed than juniors; 78% to 54%. Out of all the working students, there were 55 different places of em- ployment. The Turners Falls IGA employs the most students while Burger King and the Farren Hospital employ the second highest amount. The most com- mon job for students is cashiering at fast food restaurants or in grocery and retail stores. Trans- portation is fairly easy for Seniors, 31 drive themselves to work . . A few (3) get rides with parents, 5 with friends. Good thing the machine gives the correct change! 7 have other means and only 3 have to walk. The Juniors don ' t drive as much; only 10 do. They do a lot more walking; 15. There are also a lot of them who depend on parents; 18. Four go with friends and 5 find other ways. The Seniors seem to like their jobs more than the Juniors; 60% said they did to 46% of the Juniors. On the whole, most students do enjoy work. Only 15% of the Seniors and 22% of the Juniors stated they did not like their jobs. Oth- er comments were it ' s okay, sort of, and some- times. The average rate of pay for everyone was $3.87 per hour. The average for the Seniors was $4.07 an hour and for the Juniors it was $3.68 an hour. Burger King wants you! 6 Jobs It was here a minute ago!
