WITH A LOOK of aggravation on her face, Sr. Lisa Johnson refuses to give her brothers Frs. Chris and Karey a ride home. The boys responded with, We'll tell Mom. fi I J ' . W f ' Terry Kona ollowing in the footsteps of an older brother or sis- ter can be difficult and challenging. It was common for teachers to have had a student in their class, then in the next year or two, have his younger sibling. Many times two relatives would even go out for the same sport or join the same club. There were many advantages to having an older brother or sister go to the same school. It,s nice because you know their friends, and my sister always gives me advice about my classes and my friendsf' said Soph.

Not only were older siblings good for giving advice, but they could usu- ally give younger brothers or sisters rides to school and to other events. However, older siblings weren't al- ways appreciative of their younger relatives depending on them. Evan usually lets me fend for myself, said Soph. Alex Armatas. As far as family competition goes, there was usually enough of an age difference for it not to be a problem. Nonetheless, some younger siblings felt a responsibility to live up to their older brothers or sisters' reputations. A couple of my brothers and sisters graduated from Overland, so lots of my teachers knew them. It's hard to live up to their reputation, because they were pretty involved in school activities, said Sr. Judi O'Brien. Although siblings could be annoy- ing to have at the same school, most of the time it wasn't a major conflict. My brother and I get along pretty well, so it's not that big ofa deal going to the same school, said Jr. Shelly Hamilton. And for Sr. Lisa Johnson, her two younger brothers were no problem. She said, I just try to avoid them! Sibling Students 3

itfto ut wliteells hat a way to start the day. Since many underclassmen could not drive they had to find an alternate way to get to school. Most freshmen usually rode the bus or walked to school, which they didn't enjoy too much. Fr. Tonya Yound said, I usually walk a quarter ofa mile in the freezing cold, sit on an overcrowded bus for a half an hour, then sit in the library for another half an hour. Fr. Tonya Kramer said, I get to school by the bus. I hate it be- cause the bus drivers are mostly jerks that listen to elevator music. Also it seems the buses are labeled fresh- men. Since many freshmen couldn't drive, it was necessary for someone else to take them places. It could sometimes be embarrassing if a par- ent had to drive. Fr. Betsy Traudt said, I hate when my momdrives me Q ' I , 1 ' v gr-W. ' fm ,im- wr to school because she sticks her hand out of the sunroof and waves to me. On the other hand, many people didn't mind their parents taking them to school. Fr. Terry Rathburn said, 'LI am not embarrassed when my parents drive me. My parents are nothing to be embarassed about. Some people came to school by bus, others walked, and some had their parents bring them. Fr. Courtney Gross said, I donlt care how I get there, just as long as I get there. NOT ONLY FRESHMEN rode the bus, the least preferred mode of transportation. Jr. Patti Coulter steps off the bus before school. ENJOYING THE FRESH air, Sophs. Kristin Wollan and Anna Thompson walk to school, When there was no other way to get to school, underclassmen usually had to depend on their own two feet. Qt J. , . if Mgya. , 4 4 -Q.
