Alta Alternate Transport Arriving in the yellow limousine. Jesse McLeod and Kristy Gill go their separate ways. The school bus was an alternate transportation for those out side the two mile boundary Casting his reflection. Aaron Gray waits for his bus to unload. The long ride of the morning ends here and students make their ways to mirrors, lockers, or the bookstore. It’s bright and early in the morning. The scene is a street corner somewhere in Sandy or Draper, Utah. There is a group of students gathered together. As they hear the familiar rumble of the yel- low school bus, they begin to gather their belongings. If Pete Terzo would pick me up, I wouldn’t ride the bus, said Laurie Etulain. The bus pulls up; it's the A.A T. (Alta Alternate Transport). The passengers pile in and make their way down the aisle, finding seats here and there; some of them sitting with friends, others with strangers. No, I don’t mind riding the bus; would you want to walk? Naomi DelaRosa replies. As they settle down for the brief ride to their final destina- tion, some of them chat with friends, finish homework, eat breakfast and some even catch an extra forty-winks. Then there are some who just sit and watch the scenery, wishing they weren’t where they were. It's too cold to ride my motorcycle, so I have to ride the bus sometimes, said John Nagle as he gazed out the window. The A.A.T. makes stops along the way, picking up more passengers, add- ing to its ever growing population. High school students are the hope for a better country, said bus driver Brent Rasmussen. If I didn’t like being a bus driver, I wouldn’t be one. The passen- gers find themselves sliding over to make more room for yet other passen- gers. Nearing its destination, the A.A.T. passengers again gather their belong- ings, and file out; each of them going their separate ways. Some rush to lock ers; others head to class—caught up in the morning rush of busy hallways, packed with students and teachers, and even a few just wander about. Here the journey comes to its final destination, the front doors of Alta High 3:15 p.m.—out of the doors pour the students. Milling around the front of the school, they wait for their transporta- tion home. As they hear the familiar rumble again, they strain their necks looking north; the small yellow dot becomes larger and more distinct. The buses pull up, opening their doors to the impatient passengers. Once on board they begin to find seats, laughing and talking loudly; everyone seems to be in good mood. The doors close; the A.A.T. starts its engine. The bus driver listens to yelled requests: turn up the radio — change the station — turn it off. Everybody settles down for the ride home and as the bus makes it way along the route, the familiar voices of friends saying good bye can be heard. The large population now dwindles to just a few from the last stops. The last rider departs; the bus driver glances up into the mirror and sees the empty seats. He breathes a sigh of relief and goes on his way. Hender-Jense • 183

If so, does it have six different colors, six sides, and does it boggle your mind? If you answered yes to any of these questions, sounds like you’re into the new fad called Rubik’s Cube. The cube itself is made up of cubelets and each face of nine cubelets can be rotat- ed 360° in any direction by twisting it. Each face is a single solid color; blue, green, yellow, white, and orange are the original colors. Mow, such colors as pink, purple, black and gray are popular. Are you addicted? Do you find yourself dreaming squares, sneaking them into class, and sometimes spending restless nights trying to solve the mysteries the Cube beholds? Shanna Kahn, while pass- ing the cube to another poor soul com- mented, “It’s frustrating, I hate it. There are ways of solving the Cube with- out having to spend eons of time trying; for instance, there are books written exclu- sively on how to solve the Cube. The Sim- ple Solution to Rubik’s Cube, by James Nourse, and Mastering Rubik's Cube, by Donald Taylor. Also a poster can be pur- chased at local gift shops such as Spen- cers, depicting the solution and telling about the Cube itself. Expensive? Well, it all depends on what size cube you buy. Some are so small they fit on a chain to be used as a necklace, there are cubes on key chains, and the big granddaddy of them all is so large it takes two hands to keep a grip on it. The Cube has become an important part of students’ lives. While twisting and turn- ing the Cube, Mike Stauffer said, “I like it; it’s a challenge. Cubers sit in corners, hide behind books in class, and even walk and solve at the same time. Mrs. Ward even referred to the Rubik's Cube to illus- trate a point in the complicated structure of The Scarlet Letter. Every 43,252,003,274,856,000 pattern teaches you abstract algebra and drives you cuckoo-insanity spelled: C-tl-B-E. Twisting and turning, tricky manuvers bring Karl Allred closer to solving the Rubik's cube. The new fad seen around school, the cube relieved students from class pressures as they bent their minds trying to solve the colorful killer. Kirby-Milliner • 185
