lower classmen parking DREAM OF RED FERRARIS An Irvine High School stu- dent ponders the upcoming activities as he looks out across the back parking lot while waiting to pick up his friends after school With 2120 students entering the new year, the parking facilities provided off Walnut Avenue and Escolar Street were not adequate to accomodate the number of cars driven to campus by students. We were simply running out of space for cars, said Unit Principal Harry Meader . We knew that we nad to ad- dress the issue as soon as possible. The new policy went into effect Oc- tober 1, 1986, and allowed only up- perclassmen to park in designated areas. The school reserved the right to cancel student parking privileges for unsafe driving on campus or parking in restricted areas. As our building program progresses, we hope to provide more parking space, said Principal Gary Norton . ' And we are trying to get twenty park- ing spaces used by the city in front of school for our students. The policy will remain until the con- struction of a new parking lot can be completed, said Meader. Our staff, parents, and students have been very cooperative. It should be a privilege to drive to school, said Junior Liz Bjerum This would not solve the problem completely, but it would certainly help. The policy was not new to the city of Irvine. Woodbridge and University High Schools had been issuing parking per- mits before the policy was introduced to IHS. If we are old enough to drive legally, I think we should be able to drive to school, said Sophomore Bernard Chen . But most of us are not yet sixteen, and before long we will be juniors. I think the new policy will be helpful to the upperclassmen who do not have classes or work in the morning. They will be able to find a parking space and save time, said Senior Wendy Song As a continuously growing school fur- ther changes in policy would take place to adjust to the needs of the students and faculty. — by Sylvia Park and Tarn Tran STUDENT STAMPEDE After class.

Students strived to be the best because of their strong sense of pride and spirit. United by common ground, students developed a sense of school pride and Khool spirit, which was very important in making IHS unique. It is the students that make the school. The spirit of many individuals stood out because of their willingness to con- tribute to their school and their society. Many students enjoyed displaying their personality and were able to express themselves freely, showing the true col- or nl their spirit, which was often found b i be blue and green. I really enjoy the dress up days we hr. c Mid Junior Sean Stuckley, It ' s mil i ham e tO get r.i tltd have lull . IHS was always moving, Striving lor the more positive paths It was found that recursive action was both necessary and beneficial to learning. In good times, and in less fortunate situations, the students that remained strong in spirit persevered. Although it was somewhat difficult, it was found to be much more worthwhile to keep pushing for excellence. Students responded positively when asked of their school spirit. Football games are great, said Sophomore Carolina Miranda , the score could be to 56 in their favor, but it wouldn ' t matter because our team ' s still out there, and that ' s what counts.
