Food, friends, and clothing . . . at the Mall Friday, then I go shopping. I wake up Saturday, I go shopping. If I’m not at school or work. I'm shopping!” The serious shopper can spend hours going from store to store, looking for that special outfit, or just picking thing up on whim. Although as Chris Delorm notes, It helps if you have money!” Jennifer Noll has fun at the mall by going to the really expensive stores and just try- ing things on, even though I know I’ll never buy it!” Window shopping can be almost as much fun as actually buying. The trick is to convince your- self that a much better price can be found elsewhere. No problem. If you're not a person who gets excited over shopping itself, there’s much more to do at a mall. Some peo- ple, like Carla Sward, enjoy just walking around, looking at people. No matter what mall you go to, there are always interesting people to see. Maybe it’s because a mall is the perfect place for making statements, as Adam Ast puts it. An incredible variety of individuals standing out through fashion, hairstyles, and even the way they walk, can be found roaming around. After a day of shopping, refresh- ments are often necessary. Many malls offer a variety of small restaurants, all in one area. Everyone can get the food they want, then sit down to talk and relax. It’s a great place to hang out or make new friends.

Jennifer Huntley Getting you where you want to go Transportation Either by car, by foot, or by the dreaded bus, we’ve all got to find a way to get back and forth from school every day. Many of the students drive to school. I don’t know how I’d live without my car says Shannon Wadsworth. If they don’t drive, they usually find a friend that does. As Lori Ayotte says, I don’t need my car to drive to school, enough of my friends drive and I can always get a ride.” Tony Glover comments, I used to take the bus to school, until Carrie ’luckily’ broke her ankle. Now I drive to school in the huge, grey, rust buck- et practically named The Flinstone Mobile'. Still it is great, I can sleep in later. When I have to take the bus again. I’ll have a hard time adjusting. It’s sad, my senior year, and I have to ride the bus with all these kids. I must Jennifer Huntley be getting old, and spoiled with the car.” When asked how she gets to school, senior Donna Bestor replies, Some days I ride the bus, some days I drive. It depends on how much money I have that week for gas.” But not everyone drives themselves to school or grabs a ride with a friend. Says Colleen Conrad, I wish I didn’t have to walk to school. It’s really bad in the winter on the days when I can't find a ride. Amy McBride comments, T have to ride the bus and it's a pain. Whenever anyone does anything wrong, the bus driver writes us all up for it. And she never comes early enough, so we don’t get to school un- til right before the bell rings. Most everyone agrees that they hate riding the bus. Corey Bogart says, I'd rather walk five miles than have to ride the bus for five minutes. Fred Heltman agrees, I used to get to school by the bus, full of little kids, but now since I have a ride, I will nev- er take the bus again.” Jennifer Edgett Jennifer Huntley Fran O'Leary walks to school every day to keep in shape. One of the things Heather Doran dislikes most abour school is having to get up early and wait for her bus. Transportation 27
