THE LOT CHS parking lot was the place to be There were four possible ways you could do it, excluding helicopter or parachute. And everyone did it including teachers. We all needed transportation whether it was walk- ing, driving, freeloading, or the trusty bus. The only walker who lived near enough to Chopticon was Kim Fugera. Although, now she gets a ride from her dad, Mr. Fugera one of our algebra teachers. No one else walks to school unless they are hitch-hiking. The second and limited way to school was driving yourself. Teachers were alloted the seventy-seven spaces nearest the school. The remaining one hundred forty-one spaces were sold very quickly to students for a fee of two dollars. The third way was for students who would rather not ride the bus. but who had friends considerate enough to let you catch a ride with them. This meant more than not having to ride a noisy bus that was too hot in the fall and spring, but too cold in the winter. This meant sleeping in ... at least until 7:00! For those who were sixteen and had wheels, that was great! But the majority of the students rode the twenty-six faithful buses. The buses were driven daily, picking up an average of forty-two students per bus. f I wonder if anyone would give me a ride home. Like everyone else. Dennis Stultz isn’t too thrilled in riding the bus home. Hi-llo Hi-Ho . . . It’s home from school we go. The students head home after the 2:30 bell. 74 Getting to School
