Mr. Borders also commented “‘you may purchase a sticker and register your car in with Mr. Hutchison the in- structor of drivers education. Mr. Hutchison quotes ‘’the stickers go up every year they were 60 cents a piece this year. We make 30 to 40 cents on each sticker sold to a student.’’ He also commented “‘the money goes to pay for repairs in the parking lot, trash cans, chains, poles, etc.” The reason for students who drive to buy this sticker is that it is a system for the school so that they can tell if there is a strange car on campus. Another reason if someone saw one of the students doing wheelies they just look at the sticker for a number and find out who this is and report it to the school and the school handles it from there. This year stickers are found on the windshield, blue football shape with the school mascot on it. As far as next year goes, the same design only one change it will stick on your bumper in- stead of the windshield. There seems to be no problem of less people driving. We have more stu- dents driving everyday at least one to two new students drive. The gas seems to be no problem. Students drive smaller compact cars to school now because of the inflated gas prices. Cars such as Celicas, Volk- wagon Rabbits, and Honda CVCC’s use the unleaded gasoline that cost about $1.06 cents per gallon. Sr. Roxanne Sain comments “‘l got my Chevrolet Citation, which is a brand new model for the 80’s, right after Thanksgiving and in 10 wks. unleaded gas went from 95 cents per gallon to $1.06 per gallon.’’ How’s that for infla- tion!! 160 Sophomores

mmc me Se ee When It Rains, It Pours When it rains, it pours . . . Two hundred and thirty-five leaks in one school doesn’t sound possible but it’s true. Since the school was built in 1968 the roof has leaked. Senior Susan Cle- ments said, ‘The roof should have been repaired long before this.” There was no better person to take this complaint to than our Principal Mac Lancaster who said, ‘Everytime we get some repaired, new one’s start.” He also added, ‘‘We don’t pay them here at the school. The county office drew up a private contract for Burns and Crest, so that if either school should need something repaired the work would be done and it was up to the school board to pay the costs.” In 1978, they tarred the school roof. Senior Mitzi Wilson said, ‘’l wouldn’t want them to fix the roof during school again because the smell just doesn’t agree with me.” Junior Jackie Barner complains on how the roof leaks in the newspaper room. She said, ‘’They claim to have fixed the roof, although they may have tarred the building, the water still creeps through the ceiling.” On the first day of the mid-term exams Mr. Craig Jenkins came to school as usual. He walked straight to his room ( 210) unlocked his door, walked in, and turned on the lights and listened to the water dripping from the roof. All of a sudden there was a splatter; Mr. Jenkins then rushed to see what was the matter; There he found the proof; First it was a leak; But now there’s a hole in his roof.
