Life Trying to find a parking place had more than its usual hassle. Teachers complained because students parked in their spots and students com- plained because there was no place to park. The frequent loudspeaker calls for cars to be moved interrupted many classes and made many a temper rise but through all the chuck-holes, mud and snow the parking lot was not just a place to park your car.

Parking Lot: Part of Student How to perform a tail-lightectomy — c nof to remodel your fender . . . As always the parking lot proved to be an important part of school life. It wasn ' t just a place to park your car, but also a place to finish some homework, a place to learn the latest Hep to the jive news on the radio, or a testing ground for our transmissions while doing assorted dough- nuts on the winter snow. From summer days race to winter ice race, the students met the four seasons with style. There was every shape and form of road machine imaginable, from jeeps and flat bed pick-ups to the more luxurious styles of the Mark IVs and Eldorados. Vans seemed to be no exception to the fashion show.
