What did you think were the least and most popular parts ol an average school .day? In most peo- ple ' s opinion, the beginning of school in the nn)rning was the least popular part of the day, and the end of school was the most popular part of the day, unless you were unfortunate and had to stay after for tests or detention. The student store was a very popular place for people to hang out in, in both the mornings and after school. It was sort of a place for people to go when they didn ' t want to go out in the cold, or when they hated to see other peo- ple. One of the main reasons was because most of the students wanted to nourish themselves with a bag of M M ' s and a Cherry Coke. Another popular hangout was the lockers. There, one could communicate with friends, clean one ' s locker, or hide from people that they were avoiding. Another favorite was the gym. A lot of students played basket- ball after school for the whole year. One of the most popular hangouts for after school was the Avenue. Most of the ath- letes would hang out there while they were waiting to start practices. Probably one of the least popular things to do was to make up tests before and after school. Students either had to wake up an hour earlier to make it on time or they had to spend an extra couple of hours after school. After school students go to eacfi otfier ' s lockers to tr) ' and find someone to give them a ride home. 24

Most of you probably thought that it was pretty easy to own a car. VCfll about 8() ' r of the stu- dent body would have agreed that it ' s not. Unless you were spoiled and had a car given to you by your parents or your friends, you need- ed plenty of money. Junior Katie Dall felt that I ' ve saved up since September, and I still don ' t got one; this whole idea stinks. A lot of i)u realized that not only did you need money to get the car, but you also needed mon- ey for insurance and registration. But once you paid for all of this, you ' ve got to realize that a car does not run on air. It needed gas. If you had a real guzzler, then you probably realized that you would end up buying gas every day. One of the main factors in own- ing a car was time. If you knew how to fix a car then you prob- ably already realized that you spent almost all of your time working on your car. But if you were one of the unfortunate peo- ple w ho knew nothing about cars, then you were in tr»)uble. Not only did you have to spend a lot of time putting money down, but you also spent a lot of time work- ing for that money. Stereos were fun, but they were also expensive. Some stereos ran up to S300. But to have a stereo you had to have speakers. They cost from $20 to $200. a piece. If you wanted to get really technical about it, you probably bought an equalizer or a power booster. Many people would agree that it was sometimes easier to walk. How hard was it for you to get a car? It wasn ' t terribly hard.
