Finally Fifteen £- - he Earth may revolve around I the sun. but a student's life L revolves around a small, plastic card given out by the millions. Until a teenager puts a driver's license in his wallet, bumming rides is his lot in life. The road to the license bureau is an obstacle course of many detours.

That poor student who has to jump to reach their locker. That girl in French who is always being teased. Don't they have problems! When you have a top locker and can't see the lock, you can get pretty ticked off! admitted Don Seymour. I'm not short anymore, though! STANDING TALL. Mike Breiux. sophomore, towers over Colleen Kingcry, senior, at the Homecoming dance. What about being kidded? How many people who are short have ever heard things like “Hey, why don't you stand up or you make a great armrest. I’m not that short, but they still bug me! com-plained Kim Perry. Freshman, Tim Ory even received several offers to be put into girls' purses and taken home. Short people arc constantly subjected to all those people who think they are short because they can't dunk a basketball into a ICY goal. They aren't short! A true short person can't dunk a shot into a trashcan. Short people are those lucky few who can't replace lab equipment and wear size 2 shoes.
