Union High School - Redskin Yearbook (Tulsa, OK)

A Season of Getting Around we ' re on the move Need a way to get to school? No problem; students at Union use several different methods to get to and from campus. Most use one of the following types of transportation. The School Bus: Used mainly by those too young to drive, these giant yellow vehicles will stop at nothing to get to school before 8:00. Busses aren ' t as prestigious as driving one ' s own car. but they do pro- vide students with a chance to make new friends, travel through scenic Tulsa, and get nasty cuts and bruises from the bumpy ride. Driven by a highly specialized team of professionals, (students swear that the drivers can be found as drill sergeants at Fort Sill), a ride on a school bus is always memorable. Said one student, It was a living nightmare. Walking: Some students walk to school through rain, snow, sleet, or hail (and usually, they arrive smelling like rain, snow, sleet, or hail). Definitely the outdoor type, these brave individuals hike to school each morning and sadly, are victimized by the students in cars who race by and throw food at them. Those who walk must always remember to brmg a compass, because the school can be hard to find in the jungles and barren wastelands that surround it. The Automobile: Although drivers like to see how fast their car can go in the parking lot without hitting anyone, safety first is the mot- to of all students. Leaving the parking lot during lunch and after school can be dangerous because everyone wants to be the first out, but the speedbumps stop any car from moving over two miles an hour. Many of the cars here are three times as old as their owners; it ' s always fun to find out if twenty students can fit in Grandma ' s Chevy. All car owners are proud of their autos and spend hundreds of dollars on repair. After racing back and forth to lunch for a few weeks, the same owners end up paying thousands of dollars on car repair. No wonder driving to school is so popular! Whether one ' s favorite transportation is any of the above, or bicy- cle, horse, or camel, getting to school each day is a unique experience to be always remembered (but hopefully soon forgotten). 8 Getting Around
