Balancing a pile of l.evi's, junior Terrie Schaffer re-stocks the shelves of the jeans store where she works. Finding th job... Hey, Fritz, you still working at that seed store? Oh, yeah. Have they got any openings right now? Not right now, but some guy's quitting in two weeks. Really? What's the starting pay? Conversation like this can be heard anywhere nowadays: in the classroom, hallways, or out on the streets. The fact is, more than a ma- jority of the students at West hold some type of part time job - or are looking for one. The question over student prior: ties, school vs. work, has become major concern to many teachers. l everyone realizes what stress od hours of work can place on grade: then one might wonder why do s very many high schoolers keep jobs Some work with a long range goe in mind, such as financing fo years of college education.

judging from his black-stained hands, most people would assume that senior Tom Sifert is a regular grease monkey, but actually he works as a printer at Service Press. With so many teenagers working today, it's often difficult to find a job, and when you do find one, you hang onto it. Some people will settle for anything that pays, and this often re- sults in unique, rather out-of-the-or- dinary jobs. Senior Gary Inhelder, for instance, works at the Farimount Cemetary nearly every day after school. His work varies from digging graves and cremating bodies to mowing grass. This may seem like depressing work, and keeping ' but Gary finds it convenient. He lives only one block away. Another unusual job is held by sen- ior Teresa Mericle, who works at the Brown Dental Laboratory. Teresa ac- tually molds false teeth, but is quick to comment that, It isn't what you'd expect it to be. She said that dentures are made of porcelain and plastic, and laughingly added, It's a job you can really sink your teeth into! junior Chris Hueser is typical of the many teenagers working at fast food restaurants. Although busine is sometimes hectic, Chris enjoys tl friendly atmosphere and closeness + the staff. On the other extreme is senior Pa Schmidt. Paul is employed by tl Davenport Public Library, and l usually works in the basement wi' the back issues of magazines. This an extremely quiet place, yet, with tl resources of the library, fantastic fi doing homework.
