Aftrn [-torn Ring! Robert Ward awoke to the sound of his alarm. Looking at the clock, it read 6:30. It was time to get up and get moving. The school day dragged on forever for Robert, but the real excitement wouldn't start until after 2:53. Robert could then be found at one of his two part-time jobs. Weekdays were spent as a floor salesman at K- Mart, while on weekends he was an assistant manager at Little Caesar’s. When asked why he put such a load on himself, Robert simply replied, I wanted the money!” Money was a strong driving force in the minds of many students. With fees, clothes, cars, Prom, dates, parking passes, and club dues, mon- ey and a part-time job were essen- tials! Getting that job was another matter. With 1700 students added to the work force, employment was sometimes hard — but not impossi- ble — to find. ”1 just put in my appli- cation, and right there and then they said, ‘You've got the job!' ” ad- mitted Sandie French about the ease with which she got her job at Harris Teeter. Money wasn’t everything. Believe it or not, some people worked be- cause they enjoyed what they were doing. Anne Lowry, who strung pearls at Loy Harn Jewelers, com- mented, “It's fun. I just like doing it. Her words were similar to those of a number of students, enjoying their work in a variety of places and discrediting the stereotype that teenagers spend all their time in front of the television or getting into trouble. — Good Arby’s Whatever there was k Chevalier Brown Earth “a0garet Bai'em Rusty Carson c, n Club 6an Dur es £Kt -- - N,svy iKMf- - Po Folks Athena Miller — TCRv McDonald's S T,Srlds Jametta Robinson — Muse Isaac Snipe, who works at Kroger, if he enjoys loading these grocerie: know that he's just thinking abou - Summer Jobs

KiMutg Time, I wonder if things could get any more boring than this?! sighed a television news reporter at the be- ginning of an August broadcast. The statement seemed to sum up the idea that a lot of people had about the summer of 1987. there were no Statue of Liberty Centennials, no gi- ant concert events to aid famine vic- tims, no Summer Olympics, not even a single Space Shuttle flight! But despite such flaws, Wando stu- dents tried their best to make that summer a memorable one. Wan- doers were everywhere in '87. If they weren’t working, they were kill- ing time in some less stressful way. When asked how she spent her sum- mer, Tammy Burns replied, “Shop- ping, shopping, and more shopping! As far as athletics went, Wando team members worked out over the summer months. Cross country run- ners met at school in the mornings and evenings. Football players lifted weights every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday in the gym, and volleyball girls began their practice each morning at the unholy hour of 8 a.m. The summer just flew by too quickly! In June there were three long months to kill, but by August, June seemed as if it were only yes- terday. Summer was over, and the dawn of yet another new school year was upon us. Shawn Slater Leslie Kizer. Scott Scogin doesn't look very eager to go hydrosliding again, after this spill in the Wando River near the site of construction on the new Mark Clark Bridge. Hitting the Beach On any hot summer day (and there were plenty of those), you could always find Wando students soaking up the sun at one of the area beaches: Isle of Palms, Sullivan's Is- land, Folly, or Myrtle Beach. Laura Lamb and Missy Williams spent a lot of their time on the beach, and both agreed that it was always a great feeling to go back to school with a tan. Brandon Butler, who vacationed in Texas for most of the summer, returned home in enough time to catch the last little bit of sun. He said he liked just going to the beach with his friends and crashing some waves. With Labor Day Weekend, 1987, having been rained out at the last minute, the beaches lay dormant for another winter, waiting for May of '88 and yet another onslaught of avid beach-goers. Shawn Slater The beaches are fun for swimming and volley- ball: but as Hayley Anderson realizes, they're also great spots to work on her tan with friends Joey Tripp and Pilar Ritchie It looks as if some guy has caught the eye of this girl. But the real question is which girl is Shannon Smith, and which is her twin sister Jennifer ? SUMMER
