McCue Alex Melconiun emember good old George Jetson and how he would fold up his car and plop it in his pocket? lf only the parking situation were as simple here at C.V. One of the biggest prob- lems faced by students who drove was the lack of parking space. Basically the problem was no student parking lot. Students were forced to park on residential streets sur- rounding the school. Some students were lucky to know someone who lived nearby. Senior Diane Avalos found a space. l always park in my sister's driveway near school. Another senior, Renee Bauer, would drive in little circles a thousand times until she found one. ln some cases it was simply easier to walk to school. lt's so bad here because you have to park way up on Mary Street and walk forever to school. Most of the time you end up being late, said senior Ken Spain. Parking spaces were so rare that they were often given as rewards to students. One could get a space by being a Student of the Month or by winning the parking lottery for those who would help clean up the school. Junior Tricia Crane felt it was a good idea because people really want parking spaces. The only reasonable solutions to the problem were taking either a zero period or leaving for school a half hour earlier . . . when sleep seemed much more impor- tant. l don't really mind leaving early, l just end up sleeping in my car for a while, said senior Angela Carbonetta. Jill DeVore, a junior, believed that, 'Both sides of Community Street should be available for students. Parking seemed to be a no win situation, however, most seniors would agree that Amy Bouman had the perfect solution, USeniors should have their own park- ing lot underclassmen should be dropped off by their parents. by Stephanie Bente .. ., , uf' ,W,...,.. , , , ,M as eeeeeks! I have to get out of this spot! Junior Sean Lewis visually measures the distance between his car and the ones around him. With so few spaces, tight spots like this were common, he quest for the car. Most students had to park on residen- tial streets like this one, Because of the lack of parking space, students had to park so far away that they often needed a ride to their cars. .1-x .fix E 0 5 'if' W 0. - ,3 , Seniors 25

L, s Eitiiiiffil-9-'L Em tudent 1 - Man, how boring! l mean look at all those cars, they all look the same! j Student 2 - l know! That's why l changed my car around. Many students suffered from a peculiar kind of iden- tity crisis, their cars were just too boring. With many models of Toyota, Honda, Mitsubishi and many other car makers producing very similar looking cars, most students searched for a way to make their car different. Kevin McBride's '86 corolla had an exact twin driving around campus. l'Someone's Corolla looks exactly like mine, so l put a pin stripe down the side of my car, said Kevin McBride. However, frequently a paint job was not enough. Senior Chris Beeny has a shower on the inside of his '71 Superbeetle. lt's the latest in car improvements. lt's gotta be the latest trend, declared Chris. Some people took their cars to an even more ex- treme. Jun Akiyama's '81 Celica has been equipped with flamethrower and self-destruct buttons! How else are you going to defend yourself on the freeways? The buttons were not hooked up to actual weapons, but they were interesting additions to the car. From bumper stickers and flashy paintjobs to indoor showers and weapons systems, CV students made driv- ing a unique experience. by Steve Pfeiffer Paul Mzlfhell .femme Mixon Kevin Momma Kelhi Moore jazmef Moran V-- Debm Morrow Stzlpi Moumdian jennzjvr Mzzggill jettiftz Muldoon Robert MZMJOU 261 Seniors
