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

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.

Putt-Putt was a common place for the freshmen to hang out. Many times, they didn't actually play golf but went to see Who was there and to enjoy the company. No one ever Went to play miniature golf. They went to talk to people and to play the video games, senior Cindy Black said. A lOt of pCOplC Went here CPutt- Puttj just to see what was happen- ing. But, like most other hangouts, it didn't last, Christine Nelson said. Taco Bell was also a place where many people Went to see what was going on. They would stop by to check out who was there. Often, they would stay just for a minute and then go on to their next hangout. But freshmen had prob- lems of leaving one place to check out another. It was hard to get around when your parents did all of the driving and you had to be home by 10 p.m., senior Nadia Mahmud said. The hangouts seldom lasted for very long. Usual- ly by the next school year, the classes had new places to hang out in. U' E 2,5 1 T W w can 32? 7'
