A. W. Wheels Whether students came in style or just got where they were going, some automotive device was the key. Students relied on different types of transportation when coming to and going from school. Some rode buses, bicycles, mopeds, or motorcycles. Others were lucky enough to own their own cars or had a friend who allowed them to take up passenger space. There was a wide variety of cars rang- ing from the economical Datsun and Volkswagon to the sportier Camaro and Porsche. All of these cars together gave the appearance of a used car lot.

Students at Work Many of the Arvada West students worked part- time throughout the year. There were a wide variety of jobs ranging from fast food restaurants, such as McDonalds and Taco Time, to business offices, such as Fox and Associ- ates. Students devoted a great deal of their spare time to their jobs. Some students received on-the-job train- ing and credit from the school through various classes, such as DECA and FBLA. These different job opportunities helped students prepare for the future. 16 Introduction
