For the average driver, a car is just a machine that you put gas into through a hole in the side, and it takes you places. But to the EPHS driver, a car is more. A car is a place for lunch on most occasions, a place to drink, a place to sleep, or a place to go when you decide to push their status symbol a little too far. resulting in difficulties such as accidents and tickets. The Class of 79 is so far trying to set a school record for the number of people losing their licenses and joining the “bicycle to school pool.” Following the Class of 79 is the rest of the school, trying to set new highs in car wrecks. Whatever students do with their cars, though, there will always be that certain good feeling you get driving a car. Whether driving to school or cruisin' the streets on Friday and Saturday nights, everyone gets a great feeling. Getting that great feeling that school just doesn’t make the top of your excitement list for the day. In short, it is a student's second home. But as with every home, there are expenses. New tires, gas. oil. tune-ups. and lube jobs are just a few of the expenses.

Aardvarks bump Alkys Bumping balls over a net at 7:30 in the morning sounds easy, but as the intramural volleyballers soon realized, it is a lot easier to miss and bump into a wall. The intramural volleyball program was once again formed as a spring activity for students and teachers. Over 80 participants gathered for this event to compete for the first place title. Throughout a season of bets and various other interferences, the Aardvarks conquered the confident Alkys and emerged from the tournament as the victors. Mrs. Betty Cudworth. who sponsored the season’s program and was in charge of keeping all rules and records, commented, “I felt that the tournament was time-consuming, but worthwhile to wake up in the morning to watch a bunch of crazy kids.” In the regular playing season, the top four teams were Alkys. 10-1; Teachers. 10-1; Trojans. 9-2; and the Fruits, 9-2.
