They were a major port of our lives. Parents assigned small responsibilities, but some students chose to take on o bigger responsibility. Owning their own wheels. For some students, a car was their only way of getting to and from school. And sometimes, access to o car was Q chance to drive wherever you pleased. I like it because I don ' t have to depend on my mother to drive me around, and I do her the favor of driv- ing my sisters around, Sondro Israwi said. I can go wherever I wont whenever I wont, Aaron Alex- ander said. Going where you wanted to was great, but going where your friends wanted sometimes become a problem. Whenever someone needed o ride, they were olwoys real nice to me, Chrissie McDride said. Driving could also get expen- sive. Half of my paycheck went to gas ond this stifled my weekend activities, McDride sold. I On the other hand, some students used their porents ' gas card. ' I use the cord, but I still | hove to pay for the gas I use, Alexander said. Gos money wos only half of cor ownership. Owning a car meont owning i insuronce. Most students paid half and the porents paid the, other half of the insurance bill. Owning o cor was probably L the biggest responsibilty in highi school. But you proved respon- 1 sibility to your parents and you proved it to yourself. BY JORGE ALVAREZ Side Flippers.

URN THE MUSIC UP wQS Q ritual for us to come :rQshing through the front door ind run upstairs and toss our )Ooks across the bed. One of Ihe first things we reached for vos the power button. Music plored from the speakers and Irowned out the school day ' s llfficulties. Music preferences of students ' oried, but no morter what [vos going on, music was usual- ly o welcomed companion. The radio was a melting pot f artists. Rock, country, :lassical, religious and Motown lusic entertained each in- IJividuol according to his tastes, like classical music, James v oore said. I get uplifted and ispired. It helps to set my lood. Moore preferred his own ecords and topes, instead of adio. I usually do schoolwork br look at pictures when I listen lo music, Moore sold. It helps ne to concentrate. I Another popular form of nusicol entertainment was Motown music. The most populor station for this type of music was Magic 102. They ploy good music, Ruby Williams said. It mokes me wont to dance. Williams listen- ed to music to relax or do homework. Music mokes it go faster, Williams said. A widespread student favorite was rock and roll. Rock was a way for students to vent their feelings ond express their emotions. I like rock because my mom hates it, Michelle Holioron soid. It mokes my homework more pleasurable to do. A form of music that was not recognized by much of the stu- dent body was religious music, or Christian Rock. I like Chris- tian Rock because it talks about Jesus Christ in o better way, Steve Morris said. It lifts you up and doesn ' t knock you down. Morris likes the rock that doesn ' t roll and feels that music is o winning gome when you ' re going with Him. No matter what we listened to, music carried us through our dotes, summer, the school year ondjust plain fun. BYSaZIWALTOn Schormen, Leo 10 Schiffmon, Komy 10 Schmedemon, Cindi 9 Oank If Up.
