Instead of waiting for gradu- ation to enter the working world, money-wise, work- minded students chose to augment their income with earn- ings from part-time jobs after school and through work pro- grams such as VOE and DECA during school. l've learned a lot from the work program, along with get- ting three credits that I needed to graduate, senior Janine Bible said. lt gave me a chance to earn a little extra money at the same time. While some worked through school programs, others used skills aquired from the classroom to get a job in the real world. I feel fortunate to be in- volved in such a strong journal- ism program because it has given me skills marketable in the real job world, junior Dane ei? 'lv l L x . Q' Reese said. In addition to money and extra credits, students gained experience and education from their jobs. I really enjoy being able to leave campus to work at a com- puter place, junior Matt Curley said. It also gave me a chance to leam more about a skill that I'm sure I'll use later. Understanding the fact that 902, of students surveyed said that money was the most impor- tant part of working, the em- ployed looked forward to the end of the pay period. T he best part about working is Friday afternoon when they hand me my pay- check and I've got the whole weekend to spend it, junior Meg Murray said. Working students, in their never ending quest for spending money, got a jump on the job market and benefitted from a taste of the working life.

'xv-.2 ,. gym, . l usually goto Florida for the sun, the beach and the women! !!!Brad Wolaver ET-AWAY When massages in Advanced Social Sciences failed to relieve tension, weekends caused more sleep loss than weekdays, and the mere thought of going to the next class sent chills down spines, the fed-up turned to one remedy: a vacation. I usually go to Florida for the sun, the beach and women! But, I'm forced to go with my par- ents. It's not too fun going to Walt Disney World for the two mil- lionth time, sophomore Brad Wolaver said. While 40'Z: of Spring Break ff? in ig? -L.. ,fs- 3 vacationers preferred the sandy approach to vacationing, hot dog- gers, snow bunnies and powder fiends hit the ski slopes. I hate the beach because it's always so crowded and you get sand in everything. I enjoy skiing in Colorado, New Mexico or Utah, sophomore Todd McGraw said. Though vacations provided a means of relief from classes, in the end, each returned to class with only Polaroids to console them from the research papers, pop quizzes and final exams. Flow, Row, Flow Youn BoAr Sculing on Tovsm Lake was just one of the many various springtime activi- ties seniors enjoyed while participat- ing in senior skip day. fPhoto by john Carpenterb HEELLLPP!!
