wh .M , . Up, up and a ay Early last spring, a new phenomenon known as the Gas Line came into being. For Americans used to shopping in cars. trucks, vans, mopeds, motorcycles. boats and various other gas guzzling vehicles, it was an ugly beast. lt began in California - on odd days people with license plates ending in an odd number could buy' gas. and likewise. on even days, only even numbers. Although lowans never experienced such extreme measures to preserve gas, we did notice the crunch where it hurt the worst - in our pocket books. At the beginning ofthe summer. you could still feed your ear for around 85 cents a gallon. By Christmas l979 it was up to Sl.02 in most places and the government was predicting at least ll more cents tacked on by the end of the next year. The reasons for the price hike are many and varied. They range from the constant price hikes of OPEC nations. to President .-q1. ,, fr' I Carter's deregulation of gas prices. All of this brought about some in the driving habits of BHS students. More students became involved in car pooling, more parents said yes you can take the car butyou pay for the gas. and even others were saying it's your car as long as you can come up with the money to keep it running . Although driving habits changed, they didn't stop completely. No matter what the cost. it seems students will keep the pumps running. Walking is just too much of an inconvenience these days. changes - Rob Smith When these pictures of seniors filling up yyere taken in November of '79 gas already seemed expensive at XX cents but bythe beginning of February 'XO the price had sky rocketed to Sl ,l0 and was still rising. To cut down a little onthe Cttsl. many BHS students resorted to self-scry ice. This page: upper left- Ta mmie Graber: Lower left- Don lilking below - .lulie Brown.
