Faced with this dilemma, there are two choices you have: either be carried through the halls by the other 1,378 stu- dents or walk outside in sub-zero weather. Due to the increased number of so- phomores, the hallways, classrooms and parking lot were somewhat crowd- ed. In fact, it seems each new year brings a larger Sophomore class than the preceding one. There's so many of them 1sopho- mores3 hanging around everywhere, that it's hard not to step on 'em between class changes, explained Brian Boring 1113. Unfortunately, seniors felt the crunch worse than the multitudes of un- derclassmen since they were the small- est of three classes. I feel like an endangered species in proportion to their numbers, said Mike Highum 1123. Highum also felt the hall jams re- sulted in students being tardy. I get so mad when l'm late be- cause three gossips wall me off from my class. Highum added. No sooner do I get around a wall 1group of students3 then I find myself blocked into the same position. it's a no win scenario 'cause after I make it to class, I receive my third tardy detention in a week, Rick Painter 1123 said. Hallways weren't the only places af- fected by overcrowding. Student parking became a fiasco also. I have to come to school by 7:50 to get in the lot or 8:05 for Dale Street. Any later and I get the hiking gear, said Eric Brandenburg 1123. t'Frankly, it's not worth the wait just for the convenience of walking. it's just too crowded anymore! said James Dalflosa 1123. Some students thought they had the answer to this problem. The student parking lot should be increased in size, as well as adding more than one entrance and exit, ex- plained Aaron Voss 1123. Unfortunately, if anything the prob- lem should get worse. With the coming of the Mitsubishi plant, there will be literally hundreds of new students at NCHS. The fact is, they 1the administra- tion3 had better make some changes now, or they'll find themselves buried beneath the multiplying students' bod- ies, Painter said. Fortunately enough for seniors, they will not have to live through it again. So what, we're 1seniors3 leaving. We've paid our dues. l'm ready to stop livin' the life of a sardine, Dan Sullivan 1123 said. -Julie Scott 1123 6-Growing Pains -13Due to lack of parking Darren Sampson 11 U, Todd Askew 11 11, David Lakin 11 11, and Eric Beer 1112 find carpooling works best
