Working For the Weekend Sacrafices are made “I’m sorry that I can’t go out this weekend but I’ve got to work.” Along with having to put in long hours, students who held part time jobs had to sacrifice a lot of their free time. At Burger King and McDonald’s, one was usual- ly served by a friend who worked there. Bilo and Winn Dixie also had their share of student workers. Students chose to work for many reasons. Some wanted to save up for col- lege. Others wanted pocket money. While many seniors worked to finance their many senior dues, juniors and even sophomores held jobs also. Parents were sometimes faced with the task of carrying students to and from work, but it was well worth the effort. Annette Teasdell said, ‘‘1 do enjoy having my own money but there are times when I would rather be with my friends.” Student work- ers had a lot to endure but with the extra money and gained experience it was well worth the effort.
