Night at the movies Employment of miBy Catherine Pleins ‘08
Flash Contributer
Hundreds of students,
teachers, children and parents gathered on the Fraser
football field for an annual
event, that is always a favorite.
Blankets, concessions,
friends, and one big screen
contributed to Fraser’s annual movie night. Children
ran around dressed as characters from The Incredibles,
blankets were spread all
over, and loud talking made
people feel free to be outspoken and fun.
“I came this year to hangout with my friends and ev-

eryone else. I think they
should have it more then once
a year. It’s a good way to get
the community together,”
said freshman Craig Kessler.
Some people started to
show up as early as 7 p.m.,
which left two hours to find a
seat, talk to friends, purchase
snacks, and in some cases to
play football.
“I came last year and this
year to hang out with some
friends and watch other boys
tackle each other playing
football,” said junior Dan
Yaklin states.
As the movie started,
people wound down and
made their way to their blankets. The screen was big

enough to be seen from the
home stands and the sound
vibrated the ground.
Throughout the movie, however, staff members were still
on guard.
“I agreed to help out because it’s good to see students outside of school. It
should happen more, it’s a
great way to get the community involved in school activities,” said English
teacher, Ms. Matthews.
At the end of the evening,
sleepy kids, hyper teens, and
exhausted parents left the
field. It left everyone to wonder if next year will be as
good.

Band camp

Setting off for an early
victory the Fraser Marching
Band went to camp.
The wonderful summer
vacation cuts off short for
the band members in order
to bring entertainment to the
new school year. Leaving
their friends and family for
a week is what other students would call vacation
but to the band members it’s
something different.
According to a two-year
marching band member
Catherine Pleins, “Other
students believe that we go
to camp and have the funniest vacation alive but they
have no clue how much hard
work and effort we put into
this. I agree with the other
student some what, there is

a lot of laughs but after that
its back to hard work and long
and tiring days.”
Waking up at 7 a.m. and
having to be at breakfast at
7:30 a.m. some freshmen girls
weren’t too happy. Varieties
of freshmen band members
talk about how they don’t
have time to wake up and
stretch as they do back at
home. After all the embarrassing things that happened
all of them agreed it was
worth it. Including, forgetting
to put their shoes on before
they march, screwing up the
march and destroying everyone else in the line. After talking to all the grades in band
they’ve all said their favorite
embarrassment and about 95
percent have said that the best
one is about the marching
band teacher, Mr. Rogers.
A sophomore, Shanna

Piccininni said, “Every year
I hear about Mr. Rogers having done something embarrassing towards him and
making the band camp remembered.”
After a week of hard work
they came home to school
starting in a few days. All of
their friends are glad they are
home and couldn’t wait to
see all the hard work and
commitment they put in at
camp. This joy was cut short
because the first football
game was that day. The
stands and the field were
filled with people waiting to
see what everyone had
worked on. Many of the
families and friends were
supporting the band and
showing Fraser pride. The
marching band was a hit,
through the crowd and hopes
to be throughout the year.

nors has many limits

If a minor under 18 is looking for a job there is a
procedure that they must follow before their first day of
work.
Any minor between 11-17 years old needs to fill out a
work permit in order to get a job. To get a form one must go
to the issuing officer at their school. There is a permit for
11-15 year-olds (CA-6) and another one for 16-17 year-olds
(CA-7). Once a person fills out the form, they must take it
back to the issuing officer who will check the age of the
person as well as sign and date it. They must then turn the
work permit into the employer before the first day of work.
Minors that are 14 and 15 years old can work no more
than three hours on a school day and eight hours on a nonschool day. They also cannot start sooner than 7 a.m. and
end no later than 9 p.m. On the CA-6 and CA-7 work permit it states a student minor shall not be employed more
than a combined school and workweek of 48 hours.
Minors that are 16 and 17 years old can work up to 48
