Far Right: Fast food services are a great employer of high school age workers. Bottom right: Senior Debbie Fraker teaches guitar to Lori Drumm because, she says, I enjoy doing it. I learn a lot from teaching my students. Bottom: Chris Bailey, a senior at West, is employed at a bakery shop in the mall. Right: Cindy Pribyl works as a cashier and sales clerk in a small clothing store. Below: Fixing garage doors is certainly not the most common of jobs, as senior Randy Hite will testify. Very few people do this, he says. It's not hard to learn - you just have to think and reasonf' 16 Jobs 1 if ,K , fbi, It's not all a bore

Comments Rick, It's pretty boring, it's a drag. wb A 5 st.: In a student's life, development of body, mind, and spirit is not limited to four plaster walls, but to the individual's associations in a later time of life. Management is the key to development for senior Rocky Waller, who is co-manager and joint owner of The Coffee Break at 3112 Rockingham Road. Rocky averages thirty- five hours per week at work and the same amount of time at school. Along with eight employees, Rocky has found that good service and a friendly attitude are important in customer relationships. You meet a lot of interesting people in there, and I get to know most of them personally. For crew chief Rod Teel, the key is also management, but with a twist. Between running a squad of stockers, satisfying superiors four days weekly, and making the grades, a person's week can be hectic. And that's just how Rod's week goes. After two-and-a-half years, he is still interested in assigning jobs, fulfilling office orders, writing stock orders, and most of all, learning more about people. As to the future of his career, Rod says, I have great promotional potential, and the pay is goodg so I'll probably stay on. Fine arts and accompanying people such as Qerrell, Romeros, and others is the secondary education to senior Paul Hartmann. Now in his third year with Tri-City Symphony, this string bassman performs in approximately twelve major concerts per year along with countless minor ordeals. Paul got started by just trying out, but is the only WHS student accepted by the Symphony. I enjoy the quality of the music and I enjoy accompanying the famous and talented people I get to meet while I play. Paul appreciates being able to learn this particular fine art, and looks forward to further enjoying it in later life. Q jobs 15

This enterpriser spends approximately three hours per week teaching classical and rhythmic forms of guitar. For a year and a half, Debbie has taught five regular students from McKay's and assorted extras trying to get started or pick up new tricks. Although Debbie is well paid for her talents, she really does it for the experience. I am going to major in music in college, so I teach guitar to gain more musical experience. Development through experience is the teacher for Dick Hebbel, employee of Davenport Grain Exchange. He gains experience in grain, river boats and barges, the railroad system, and anything else pertaining to agriculture and its shipment. With just over a year of experience, Dick puts in fifty hours weekly during the harvest. That gives him very little time for sleep and no time to study. His job consists of sampling grain shipments to determine moisture, grain grade, and foreign material. Dick likes the extra education he obtains with this job. He says, The job can be hard at times, but it's satisfying. What I learn has a personal value to me, if not a monetary value. 'I Jobs 17
