CAREEP. choices are
never easily made, par-
ticularly For kids with
little or no life experi-
ence under their belts.

To ease the pain, a Canada
wide program: dubbed ‘Take
Our Kids To Work saw scores
of Gride 9 students across
Canada skip a day of school
and march off to work last
Wednesday. The result?

According to the pro-
gram’s sponsors, “a real fife
experience in a work environ-
ment.”

But according to three stu-
dents from West Vancouver's
Rockridge school, it was more
emertaining than anything,
else.

Pat Hennessy was in a
goed position to partici-
pate in the program because
his brother-in-law is none
other than Willy Perey, one
half of the popular C-FOX
morning radio show Larry
und Willy.

Accompanying Hennessy
to the session were two of his
classmates, Allen Manser and
Lars Vedo. An unexpected
bonus for the trio of 14-year-
olds was on-air time as the
two disc jockeys wound
through their daily morning
routine.

The edueanenal vatue of

the excursion wort become
apparcat for some Gime, pau
ticularly becawe none of the
three ruled out a future in
radio.

“Enever thought of it, but
now i'm considering it,” said
Vedo.

The hosts take on their
guests and their project, how-

-ever, was more of a laughing

matter

“Awtul, terrible. I can't
stand these lithe guys,” said
Perey. “Not only that, E had to
drive these guys in the car and
one of them smelled reaily
bad.”

But seriously.

Their own career choices
were not made until the duo
“exhausted all other possibili-
ties.”

Seriously now.

“How do you get the job?”
Willy pondered aloud during a
commercial break.

“You apply for it.”

Most young people can
only wish it was thar easy.
