A TOUGH HOAD TO CLXM8 Ever take your time getting ready for school and then get in your car and make a mad dash to beat the eight o’clock bell? Think about it; where would you be with- out the automobile? Weekends would be ruined, jobs would no longer be accessible, and chances are your social life would be- come non-existent. For Mark Corbin, even a used car is im- portant. iMark works at Pick-N-Pay in Solon and needs a car because he can’t depend on his working parents. Mark can’t always borrow his dad’s car for a date, so his own car is available for a drive-in movie anytime. A car is also im- portant to students involved in after school activities. Nancy Morrison needs her Vega after cheerleading practice to make it on time for her job at Stratford Jewelers. The graph shows soaring new car prices over the last ten years. Whatever the expense, most students put in a strong bid at home for a car of their own or frequent use of the family car. For some, the car is the ultimate, from the way it looks to the way it runs. For others, the car is just a means of trans- portation. Whatever the viewpoint, most students agree the car is their best road to freedom. Gaining valuable experience in maintaining a car is Tim Gallagher, an employee at Walton Hills Sunoco. Monica Milko, John Zarlino, Paul Donato, and Renee Zipp cruise in Paul’s car before school on a Monday morning. 3100 0560 Tfn------J9Z9 IWo 77w Wfi 7W Wfl fs TTfl 7Jrf 2 Opening

The main lunch lines offer a variety of four or five course chefs specials for a mere sixty-five cents. 4 Opening McDonald’s, the favorite alternative to school lunch, provides Peggy Furlong with much needed spending money. A pizza at Gina’s is the traditional post game ac- tivity to complete a Friday night.
