Dne way or another, whether you liked tor not, you had to be there. When the ate bell rang at 8:30, if you weren't in 1omeroom you were in trouble. So as early as they could manage, students fell out of bed and headed for school the easiest way, and if late, the quickest way they could. Unless a student hap- pened to be fortunate enough to hitch a ride to school with friends or an older brother or sister, the only other choices were Pat and Charlie, the bus or rid- ing a bike or moped. I was lucky enough to get a ride with Jill Fergu- son, said junior Kara King. lf I didn't ride with her I probably would have had to walk to school. But drivers like Jill had to be careful. Everyone knew how easy it was to oversleep - that you'd have to speed to school - including Jacksonville Po- lice Department. Yes, sitting at either end of Vernon Drive, cops were on the lookout for students unwary of the twenty-five miles an hour speed limit. Senior Thad Westfall was one who ex- perienced the Bust. With one eye open, lt's Not A Ferrari, But lt's A Way Of Thad accepted that pink piece of paper disliked I by all. other did not Gettlng There care, however . . . such as passengers. Junior Wyndi Miller said, I don't care how fast Elaine drives - but l'm not walking! Walking to school seemed to be every 'carless' person's nightmare. The worst thing about walking to school was having to suffer through frostbite dur- ing January and having heatstrokes in June, said freshman Cannon Morgan. While waiting to pick up his sister, senior Sean Rogers took time out to enjoy some donutsfl love Mr. Donutsl' he said. Sean usually picked up his sister, and occasionally donuts, after school. Senior Debra Bynum was greatly appreciated by her sister Lisa and junior Marc Johns and senior Tanya England. And Mr. Bynum was greatly ap- preciated by Debra. She stated, l'm glad I have a carto drive because I would hate to have to walk. lt was really bad when the upper- classmen rode by and laughed, he added. Some students that lived close enough to walk chose to ride a bike or moped. Riding a bike was faster than waIking, said senior Les- lie Babski. I got an Earth Cruiser last year and it's fun to ride. Fresh- man Gene Jewel said, The only problem with riding my moped to school was trying to hold all my books. Another method of transportation was riding the bus. About seven hun- dred students who lived too far away to walk and had no other way were forced to ride the bus. Since I rode the bus I had to get up earlier than usual, said junior David Magnuson. I always got to school before my friends, he continued. Senior Wen- dy Sutton remarked, Those early mornings were not so easy on the bus drivers either. Since I started driving a bus in September, l've been getting up about six o'clock. No matter how students got to school, the important part was get- ting there on time. A penalty was awarded to those who did not. . .the dreaded D-hall. Sophomore Jessica Kozma said, I struggle every morn- ing to get to school on time. Usually I make it, but the time I didn't , I got D- hall - at least I got here!! Transportation 29

Like many other students, Cathy depended on her parents for a ride home. Not only for enjoyment, the moped can be a practical mode of transportation. John Mankin, with his helmet on and ready for the road, revs up his bike for the trip home.

Whether it was being a candy striper at the Onslow Memorial Hospital or a rescue squad worker on the road, many students volunteered their services to the community. lt's fun and it gives me experience like a real job. remarked juniorJuIi orking For Nothing? Wei'- 30 ' Community Service Junior rescue squad members were on the job at football games and accident sites throughout the year. Stephen Rea said, ln my opinion helping people and saving lives is a worthwhile service. A scholarship program begun in 1984. Sponsors for Academic Talent, was established for the benefit of juniors and seniors who met four requirements. One of these was volunteering 75 out-of- school hours to community service. Large numbers of students worked to get the scholarships and many thought the community service hours were the easiest of the achievements to attain. Working those hours was much easier than taking the PSAT. recalled Katrina Register.
