Owning your own car is almost a rite of passage. It is a privilege given to everyone at some time, however, many are lucky enough to receive it during high school. Whether the car is a new sports model or an old klunker, a gift or something you have saved for. a car represents an important transition into adult- hood. This experience brings about many changes in life. Along with the car you attain freedom as well as responsibility. Owning the first car creates pride and a measure of freedom becomes yours. Standing on the bus stop at 7:30 in freezing weather is a thing of the past. Now there is the advantage of waking up at 7:45, dashing into a heated car. and racing to school just in time for the homeroom bell. The same luxury goes into effect after school as well. Instead of running from an eighth period class in B-wing to the front of the building to catch the bus, you can take your time and stroll to the parking lot. The car is also helpful when there are after school activities to attend. After the meeting is over, you can drive right home and forego the lata bus. The car also gives freedom out of school. If a trip to the library, mall, or to a friend’s house is necessary, you are no longer dependent on someone else for transportation. This is usually a great relief to parents because they do not have to play chauffeur. Certain bo- nuses such as a special parking space in the driveway and a place to toss belong- ings also becomes yours. However, along with the benefits of be- ing a car owner, there are responsibil- ities. Dealing with oil changes, anti- freeze, and tune-ups becomes a part of life. Drivers should be able to de- termine what is wrong with the car and how to correct the problem. Having a clear knowledge of me- chanics is essential because the car may decide to punish you by stalling on Route 70. For the lucky owners, the first car represents independence, maturity, and pride of possession. Owning your own car is always convenient and never fails to arouse envy among those who do not drive. In addition to tangible rewards, the car symbolizes the journey into adult- hood as well as the fun and carefree days of high school. 78

Yellow Bus As high school students, we are well acquainted with the large yellow vehi- cles, the school buses, the mode of transportation that takes us to and from school. We’ve all rushed to the bus stop after waking up late, experienced those hec- tic mornings, but had everything down to a science. Yes, catching the bus ex- actly on time is a growing experience. We’ve also acquired skills in handling mob scenes. Avoiding being trampled by the crowd of people when the four o’clock late buses arrive, we have sur- vived in the mad rush. Although we have gripes about the buses and regard them with a bit of satirical humor, we can’t truthfully complain about their inadequacy. Dur- ing horrible weather, the buses depen- dably arrive, and everything proceeds smoothly. For the most part, buses are on time and provide extra runs at con- venient times after school. Undeniably, buses are part of the high school experience. They are so de- pendable that we often take their ser- vice for granted. Although we have had our fill of busy mornings and mob scenes, we can appreciate those bright yellow vehicles. • ■ -
