Students tackle summer jobs
By Terry Hagerty
Staff Writer
Katie Coy wasn't wasting
any time.
On Friday night Coy
graduated with the Bastrop
High School Class of 2007 at
Erhard Field.
On Tuesday she was very
much enjoying her first day at
her summer job - you could
tell by the huge smile she
wore as she assisted elemen-
tary school youth at her desk
"It's just a fun job," Coy
said of her summer assis-
tant position with the Bastrop
Public Library. "I'll be here
eight weeks and then I'll be
getting ready for Texas State
University"
"Work?" BHS sophomore
Lauren LeFrance responded
to a query from the Advertiser
about her summer itinerary
as she sat with friends inside
Chestnut Square.
'I'll be babysitting and
going to (BHS) band camp for
the color guard," LeFrance
said. 'Til get around $30 for
babysitting two people."
Her friend Sarah Lewall,
also a BHS sophomore who
plays flute in the band, said,
"I guess I'll just come here
and hang out."
Jessica Telle, who gradu-
ated with the Class of 2007
on Friday, said, 'Til be work-
ing with Mom, doing cleri-
cal work at Travis Central
Appraisal District."
Telle, an honor graduate
(ranked in the top 10 percent
of the senior class) played
first chair flute and was also
in the wind ensemble. She'll
attend the University of Texas
at San Antonio and continue
to study music.
But it won't be all work
this summer. "My parents and
my boyfriend and I will go on
a cruise to Jamaica and Grand
Cayman," Telle said.
Elizabeth Pena, a BHS
sophomore, said, "I'm going
to do volunteer work at an
orphanage in Mexico for
about a month and a half.
After that, I'll go visit my dad
in Missouri."
Sophomore George
bisd
shop in California, a nation-
wide program in which teachers
learn about the Marine Corps,
information they can bring back
for high school students.
BHS history teacher Chris
Carter said he will attend a
Fellowship of Chri stian Athletes
camp in Abilene for a week
Back in Bastrop he'll host a
summer running program for
youth in grades 5-12.
Some teachers are headed
for the sand, surf or mountains.
Jeff Mixon, who teaches
senior English, said, 'T am
going to Peru for eight days,
including a five-day hike to

Gonzalez will be taking on
the Texas heat: 'Til be work-
ing in my uncle's construction
business this summer. I'll use
the money to buy clothes and
other things for school."
Jordan Harris, BHS Class
of 2006, who will work his
second summer at Wal-Mart,
said "I recommend any high
school kids try to work dur-
ing the summer because it's
a good way to make a little
extra money."
Sophomore Veronica
Beauchamp said she was
excited "because I just got my
driver's license. I am going
to apply for work at H-E-B
because my brother already
works there. If that doesn't
work out, I'll apply at a cof-
fee shop because I love cof-
fee.'4
Beauchamp "s friend,
Carsen Chamblee, said he'll
work with his father doing
air conditioning maintenance.
"I'll work about half the sum-
mer," he said, holding up the
cast from broken finger he
received while playing soccer
for BHS.

When Mixon gets back he'll
travel to a family reunion in
Vera Beach, Florida, and then
attend a bachelor party in Las
Vegas — for a former college
roommate who's getting mar-
ried.
BHS teacher Jennifer
Wolanski (freshman English)
said, "My mother is talcing 19
family members on a Caribbean
cruise." But before that,
Wolanski will help her daughter
move into a new house.

"And then my daughter is

they traded in a familiar lan-
guage for one that trans-
lated floors to decks, walls
to bulkheads, restrooms to
heads and water fountains to
scuttlebutts.
The young shipmates and
their sponsors were given a
sampling of shipboard life as
they took their turn in chow
lines, slept in racks instead
of beds and endeavored to
remember which side of the
ship is starboard and which
is port. Their stay includ-
ed admission to the Mega-
Screen Theatre, a flag cer-
emony with patriotic music
and an evening tour of the
aircraft carrier.
The next morning, the
shipmates were mustered out
of the USS Lexington crew
for their return trip home with
tales of adventure aboard a
World War II fighting ship.
