As Summer Approaches
Job Hunting Begins
Job Hunting Begins
By ALICE BARTZ
With the end of school close at hand, now would be a good time to look back on all the excitement at Maine West. Remember the hours of fun we had waiting to see a counselor or dean?
Also, I'm sure there's a special place in our hearts for the many fire alarms, the buy‑centennial articles, and finally, the weekend sports results. Now that I think of it, maybe we should take a peek into the future instead of the past!
Basically, there are four choices of summer activities. Going to summer school is one of them. Now don't get hysterical just because I suggested it. For certain students, it means early "freedom" or an earlier driver's license. Others take harder courses in summer to make their regular school year easier, so they have more time for parties.

If you need money, and who doesn't, go to work! Getting a job at one of those elegant fast food restaurants like McDonald's is easy. Supposedly, jobs develop a sense of responsibility in the worker. Besides, the experience of flipping burgers must help somehow after graduation.
Of course, if you're not the working type, you could drive across the country. Think of all the things you will learn while traveling like 1) how to change a tire, 2) how to read a map, 3) how to pick up, I mean, how to meet people, and 4) how to manage all this without credit cards.
With all the choices open to you, perhaps you will have an exciting summer. Yet I get this strange feeling that sometime during the summer, over half the students will be saying, "Boy, am lever bored!"
