Seniors! On your mark! Get set! Go! MR. JAY WARD, English teacher, broad- casts announcements as senior girls get ready to begin the race. EAGERLY AWAITING THE sound of the gun are graduates John Harmas, Dave Short and Brad Thomas. Rainy weather delayed the scheduled Bike and Trike Races, sponsored by the Speech and Debate teams, from May 19, to May 22, 1974. After the events finally got underway, 15 teams of senior boys and one faculty team battled for a victory in the Bike Race. Dale Stetina, senior, led the winning team by pedaling 43 out of 46 laps to capture the first place in this event. The Trike Race consisted of almost 20 teams of six senior girls each. The girls went six laps on a relay course, but teacher Larry Kelley ' s team pulled out in the lead for the win. Bike Race 15

As inflation goes up and allowances stay the same, students at Warren Central are acquiring part-time jobs to help cover the costs of dates, per sonal items, school activities, hobbies and food. Although money is the number one reason for obtaining a job, there are also other important ad- vantages. Jobs teach a strong sense of responsibility and also give students the experience of dealing with many different types of people that are not found in the classroom. It is also an excellent opportunity for students to gain new and lasting friendships. But along with advantages, come disadvantages. Many times a student will be scheduled to work the same time as an important school activity, such as Homecoming or proms. Late hours also can be a big drawback. After working all evening, a student is too tired to do homework. This situation creates the problem of deciding what should come first— a job or school.
