Driving h dandy ! Juniors enjoy the opportunity for freedom Where’s the brake? What's that other thing down there? Oh. yes! It’s the gas pedal. Do I have the right key? I hope this isn’t the house key. Calm down. It’s just a driver's test. Right? Right. Come on. Conscience, help me out. here. Where the heck is that police officer? Doesn’t he know that I've been waiting for 15 minutes? Oh. it’s been just five. I bet he's doing this on purpose. He wants me to flunk; I know it. I probably will flunk. I want to go home. Oh no. Here he comes. He looks like a monster. I wish I could get out of here. He’s coming closer. Where’s the seat belt? Where is that gas pedal again? Good; I found it. He's here. Yes, that’s me.” I bet he counts that against me. I'm allowed only 26 points off. Help me. Lord! Why doesn't he say something. Oh. I guess I should start the car. I'm so stupid. I could kick myself for being so dumb. Just take it easy. Obey the signs and speed limits and you’ll be fine. Oh. no. a rural area. I’m not very good in these parts. First time for everything I guess. Watch it. dog. Don’t you know I'm taking a test? Did he take a point off for stopping so fast? A car’s coming. Should I wait or turn now? Will he take points off? Oh. well, it’s too late now. Phew! Finally out of there. Gearing up gelling ready to go home from school is |amic Carr. Besides driving to and from school. |amie used his car for work and just cruising around. Maybe I’ll get through this. Why is this guy so quiet? I wonder whether I could turn the radio on. No. he wouldn't like it. There’s Mom. Why does she have to be here? Doesn't she know how nervous I am! Don’t watch me like that. Mom. Oh. no. there are the cones. They’re smaller than 1 remember them, just take it easy. Turn slightly to the right now. I hope I remember how to do this. Now to back up. Is he going to tell me to go or not? I feel like a jerk. Here goes. What did he say? ’’What?’’ The cone? Oh. for Heaven's sake. Got to back up and start all over again. I'm glad he warned me in time. Maybe he’s not so bad after all. Concentrate now. I’m past that cone. Take it slow. Yippie! Made it! Now what? Did I pass? He's so quiet. Why doesn't he say something? What’s this? I passed? Yes. with four points to spare. Hi, Mom. I passed. I knew it all the time. Nothing to it.” Oh. how nice. Mom says she’ll buy me a key ring. I don't even have a car key. Next I can get a car. Any kind. Just as long as it runs. I won’t have to depend on anyone. This is going to be great. What fun I'm going to have. Wait until I show everyone. It was a piece of cake. I can't believe how easy this whole thing was. Watch out.

Hobbles Interest us! Michael Jackson’s talent arouses interest. At this stage of my life I have developed several hobbies—roller skating, corresponding with pen pals, and when I feel inspired. writing poetry! But my most recent hobby is collecting posters, pictures and any other items dealing with my long-time idol. Michael jackson. Since I was a little girl. I’ve idolized and admired him. In fact, when I used to play house, he was my make believe husband and the father of my eight baby dolls! I'm past that point now with another more realistic goal in mind: to attend his upcoming concert tour this spring. Hopefully I can get a front row seat. I suppose some of you are wondering why I like Mr. Jackson so much. Well . . . physically 1 think he's cute even though he's not very muscular at all. As far as his personality. I am relying on what I assume Michael is like. One thing that annoys me is to hear people saying Michael is really gay or getting a sex change so that his name will be “Michelle. All I have to say to those people is how do you know whether he’s gay or not? In my opinion those vicious lies and rumors were started out of jealous, envious feelings toward Michael's growing popularity, continuous success, and extreme wealth. That his voice happens to be high pitched and that he recently stated in his THRILLER video that he is different from other guys means nothing. I perceive him as a shy. sensitive, caring person and a dynamic, fantastic, excellent, and talented superstar. Rita Weils As a hobby. Jamie Carr takes care of his parrot. |amie was active as a photographer for the yearbook staff since the beginning of his freshman yoar. With o picture of Michael Jackson in her hand. Rita Wells poses by some of her pictures. Michael jackson topped the charts this year with many of his songs.
