LIVING IT UP A Time for Relaxing After school students participated in various activities at home and with their friends. Weekday evenings were filled with various amounts of homework, household chores, and a brief glimpse of television. The remainder of the evening was usually spent on the telephone with friends. In addition to these activites. 50 % of the student body held part-time jobs. By the time the weekend rolled around plans had already been finalized. Friday nights were reserved for football and McDonalds. Saturdays were for sleeping till noon, then jamming to a concert at night or taking in a movie with a few friends. Last minute homework and memories of the past weekend made the students wish the weekend was just beginning. far left: According to a recent survey, most students watch TV at least 3 hours each night. top left: Checking up on some homework or just visiting, the telephone plays an important part in Barb Konkol ' s life. left: Cooking is good experience for later in life, and Judy Babinski has a head start on many others.

MAKING IT HAPPEN Work Experience for the Future Pursuit of the dollar led Washington students to many various and unusual occupations. Area food chains along with Scottsdale Mall were the principal beneficiaries of student employment. Some students, however, worked at such places as Memorial Hospital, Notre Dame University, South Bend Country Club and McDonald ' s Studio. Hours ranged from five or six to as many as thirty-five to forty. Many times it was difficult to keep up with school work and hold down a job. but most students managed. The money earned was channeled through one of two routes; either students would save for the future, or they would enjoy themselves bowling or shopping. Whether the work was training for a future career or just for a litle extra spending money, a job was a normal part of most students ' lives. top: Mary Stachowiak and Judy Kloski talk over the . day ' s business at Burger Chef. right: Vicky Plencner does her thing at Gina ' s Pizza.
