JUNIORS Stocking the dairy, beverage and frozen foods are only a few things Junior Robbie Schmall does at Safeway where she has worked since March. She enjoys meeting other people and is saving the money she earns for a new car or college, where she plans to pursue dentistry. Besides her job at Safeway Schmall enjoys waterskiing and snowskiing. Working at Duffy’s for a year now, Karin Westburg likes the money and the people she works with. Her work includes busing tables, making salads, and helping the waitresses with whatever they may need. She averages about 10 hours a week during the school year, but in the summer will work up to 35 hours in a week. She says she is trying to save money for college but seems to spend it as soon as she gets it. Besides work Westburg spends her time on the girls’ swim team, where she set a record in the backstroke. Westburg also plays baseball and tennis. Handling computers for two and one-half years, Tom Michelbrink has learned to enjoy their capabilities and the phenomenal amount of things they can do. He first got interested in computers in a Miller Jr. High math class where the teacher got everyone involved. Before landing a job at McDonalds, Michelbrink used to go down to Radio Shack and practice about two hours a day. The thing he likes most about computers are their graphics and the games one can play. 14 INTRODUCTION

Getting a head start on her career, Melinda Smith entered the horse business about 10 years ago. Although her interest was sparked by a friend, Smith pursued her interest and is now looking into a future at college dealing with Equestrian studies. Job perspectives include a college instructor, a riding instructor, a trainer or even the editor of a national horse magazine. Her current showhorse, Fidl Stix is an Egyptian Arabian. She spends approximately 7 10 hours per week during school and 14-16 hours per week during the summer working with her horse. During the winter she attends shows at least once a month but the average is two to four times a month during the rest of the year. Typical boy interest is what sparked Bob Furth’s attention to motorcycle racing. Although he has not taken any special lessons, Furth has been racing since the age of 13. Spending approximately four hours a day, three times a week riding his bike, he has found it to be a rather expensive, but fun, hobby. Bob said, “I just like going fast and the ability competition. You don’t have anyone telling you what to do either.” Doug Druliner and Jeff Aronson have a rather unusual and unique pastime. They are among 20 members of a speedskating team. They were first introduced to speedskating by Cliff West, who once belonged to a Seattle team and decided he wanted to coach. Jeff has been a speedskater for three and a half years while Doug has been at it for two and a half years. Because their coach moved, they must now' travel to Kent to participate. Jeff takes his skating a little more seriously and so he travels to Kent every weekend for practice. Doug travels to Kent every other weekend. However, the boys’ rigorous schedules don’t stop there. Their coach writes them turnouts which consists of skating for one hour in the morning and riding bikes, running stairs, lifting weights or skating in the afternoon. It is just a hobby for both boys but definitely beneficial to their health and physiques. Druliner stated, “It’s fun and a great experience because you get to meet people from all over the U.S.” INTRODUCTION 13

She practices an average of an hour a night and has taken private lessons, while continuing with her clarinet.

Participating in 4-H the last five years, Pert Hyde has competed in state and local fairs.

Mark handles the responsibilities of mixing paint, general maintenance, and stocking shelves. He also gets to work with customers, a chore he enjoys because he gets to know people’s attitudes and what they expect. Keller averages around 16 hours a week and likes the money which is set aside for college. Keller enjoys bicycling, scuba diving and is a member of the YMCA’s Leadership Club.
