Bound and Determined To Make Money Many students were bound and determined to take on the responsibility of having a job. I got a job to put gas in my car and to have extra par- ty money, commented jun- ior Dave Martinez, an as- sistant cook at the Elegant Farmer Restaurant in Fort Wayne. Some of the things stu- dents spent their paychecks on were clothing, movies, concerts, tapes, cars, and gas. Sophomore Janell Smith, who worked at the Covered Wagon Restaurant in Har- lan, replied, I ' m planning on saving my money for col- lege and a trip to Germany. A job offered the chance to see friends. I like my job at the Dairy Sweet because I get to see a lot of my friends and the job is easy, said fresh- man Nikki Brown. However, working on school nights interfered with some students ' school work. Senior Nikky Beerbower commented, Since I ' ve started my job at Lynn ' s Su- permarket, I ' ve noticed that my grades have slightly dropped because I ' m too tired to do it when I get home from work. On a more positive note, having a job provided the feeling of independence. Now that I have a job I don ' t have to go to my par- ents everytime I need mon- ey, said junior Jamie Kurtz who worked at Gra- bill Super Value grocery store. Bound and determined to make money was what many students had in mind. Peggy Shuler Jfc.

Out In As the time drew near, students were looking for the right date, and the neatest dress or tux. Finally on May 7, they were ready to go out in class to the junior-senior prom. The night at Holiday Inn Northwest began at 6:30 p.m. The theme was Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin and the music was provided by Dance Video Produc- tions. The music was medi- ocre and they could have at least played the theme after all the controversy over it, said senior Brian Paragi. Juniors Trish Baker and Troy Ehle were second while juniors Dawn Rhodes and Barry Goyings were first runners- up on the prom court. The queen and king were juniors Class Sarah Herman and Larry Coomer. I wasn ' t expect- ing it, I was shaking and I couldn ' t believe it, replied Sarah. I was surprised, said Larry. Some things didn ' t go as scheduled. Since the supper took two hours, things had to be cut out of the program, but I don ' t think it bothered anyone very much, said jun- ior Kristy Schlie. The thing for the guys to have was a cane, while the girls wore tea-length and minidresses. It was a good time, and everyone had fun, said sen- ior Deena Heckley. The dresses and tuxes proved to everyone that it was a night out in class.
