Parking? Where? Save That Space? THE MORNING RACE If you have ever driven to school, then you know the conse- quences of being late: no parking space, and a long hike to class. Throughout Aragon's years, many suggestions have been pro- posed on how to solve the need for parking spaces. Such as: build- ing a two story parking lot, paving the atheletic fields, and allowing only upper-classmen to park. But, who knows? Maybe one day Aragon will be granted with a two story garage. Then again, that early morning dash to class sure has been the ideal eye-opener, and great exercise! .,,.-aw- ' --n-wg ,-,, ,Wi As the human stoplight, Diane controls and directs the always heavy after school traffic.

Senior To Freshman THE SHOCK Shock could fairly accurately describe the typical college fresh- man's reaction upon entering a new campus. In comparison to high school, the college looks like a strange giant ready to swallow him whole among the vast crowds of people. In an effort to alleviate such shock, on Monday, December 22, the fifteenth annual Holiday Hap- pening was held.

Liz Lempert tells Dave Yarne and Sally Bennet how much fun college will be. During Mrs. Chiossi's annual holiday gathering, college freshmen and Aragon seniors get together to talk about life after high school. Here, Laurie Lum, Su- zanne Cohe, Courtenay Carr and Elea- nor Traubman enjoy the good conver- sation. seniors. Former students from schools in the Bay Area, to the east coast, we well as Europe turned out to share their college campus insights with the seniors who had applied to four-year col- leges. Among the college fresh- men were students who attended campuses such as Stanford, Cor- nell, and even the American Col- lege of Switzerland. Accordingly, there was an excellent turnout of students from colleges in different parts of the country, representing different styles of college life. As in previous years, Mrs. Chiossi graciously held the event in her San Mateo home. A conve- nient location for students home for the holidays to gather for the special event. As a result of the annual Holiday Happening, Ara- gon's college bound seniors could, hopefully, experience a smoother transition from high school to col- lege.

Going Once. . .Going Twice. . .Soldl SERVANTS FUR SALE Arms waved violently and the pressure was high as people bid for servants. A fundraiser for the freshman class, the servant sale proved very successful. The crowd was excited and enthusias- tic as students went up for sale. Bidding was a challenge that many people faced, and prices ranged 24 f SERVANT AUCTION from an average twenty dollars to a surprising 3100. The participants enjoyed them- selves braving the sale block on stage in single and double groups as auctioneer, Torrey Sullivan sold', the servants to the huge crowd. As one person noted about the sale, It was really fun to watch the people wildly bidding and see the strong spirit circulating the auditorium. The auction was really done well. So as the sold was shouted from the auctioneer, people were placed in the em- ployment of the buyers the next day.
