tLbLLlillLLi.Lt Many of the sophomores started out the year just as they ended their freshman year, being hauled around by parents or someone else and waiting impatiently to turn 16. Many of the sophomores got their license, and some even received their own cars once they hit the legal age. Kim Chandler said, “It feels great to have a license and a car. It’s great being able to drive. Shannon Jenkins commented, “Having a license and a car has given me my first real sense of independence. I no longer have to depend on parents or friends for rides. It feels really great to be able to go anywhere I need to go when I want to. Although some sophomores were lucky enough to get their own cars, many of them just had to settle for getting a license. They then had to beg to use their parents' car on weekends so they could go out cruising and ride up and down Harlan Street to see all their friends. Even though it was great to be a sophomore, turn 16, and get a license and maybe even a car, there were many added responsibilities that went along with being a sophomore and being 16. For many it meant that it was time to get a job so that they could afford to buy gas for their cars. For others it meant getting a job so they could earn enough money to buy a car. Many were required to work so they could pay insurance, which was very expensive because they were young and inexperienced drivers. For some it was a time for having fun with driving and for others it was a time to work. Sophomores get their own wheels “It feels good to have a license and a car. It’s great being able to drive.” -Kim Chandler- Julie Rieger Tony Rieschick Heather Rowell Stephanie Schawang Tami Schawang Tony Schawang David Shields Dan Spencer Shannon Stokes June Strasll Troy Strauss Chris Suedmeier Pat Sumpter Tammy Umland Connie Walsh Tom Watson Todd Werner Jared Wittwer Sophomores 27
