Many freshmen told their parents they would be totally humiliated if they had to ride the bus. I remember the morning of the first day of school how I begged Mom to take me herself, saying I would just die if I had to ride the bus, one senior girl said. As freshmen, the modes of transportation were much School busses used to be the way to get to and from school for the underclassmen. They were unable to drive themselves, so often it was the only way to get to school. in 1 1 2 SENIORS more limited. They cou1dn't just hop in the car and drive themselves wher- ever they wanted to go. For many freshmen, the main way to get around was their parents. I had to have my parents take me everywhere. I felt like I was treating them like chauf- feurs, but I had no other way to get where I wanted to go, senior Debbie Jen- sen said. The freshmen did man- age to get where they wanted thoughg and before they knew it, their 16th birthday rolled around and they were able to drive.

Flowers could no longer be delivered to the individu- al classrooms. Rather, they were kept in the office until after school. I can understand the rule on a day like Valentine's Day, but I don't understand why a girl can't be recognized on a special day like her birthday or anniversary, senior Kent Davis said. Because of the student population, seniors had to share lockers. I think it was a special privilege the senior deserved. Besides, they werenit built big enough for two people, senior Missy Miller said. But not all policy changes made everyone unhappy. A student caught carrying cigarettes or tobacco was suspended. This policy was put into effect to cut down on smoking in the restrooms. I hated walking into the restrooms and having to smell the cigarette smoke. I'm glad they changed that, one senior girl said. The changes made before the seniors' last year of school made many of them feel they had gotten cheated.

I was so glad I got my own car. I hated the bus, and riding it ended the second I got my car! senior Christine Nelson said. Those seniors who didn't have a car were very often able to drive their parents' car whenever it wasn't being used. I don't mind not having my own car because Mom lets me use hers. I didn't have to buy ity and I don't have to pay for the gas, so it works out great! senior Angela Howell said. Being able to drive themselves around gave the seniors a much greater feeling of independence. It was a lot better than having to wait for someone who could. For the seniors, having their own car made life a whole lot easier. SENIORS 1
