One disadvantage of getting to school late is the distance you have to park from the school, as these students found out. Getting ready to leave school, Rex Walker stops long enough to have his picture taken. Rex was one of many who rode motorcycles to school.

Trucks of all sizes are one way Barons got to school, such as monster trucks, the over-sized trucks, and just the reg- ular pick-up variety. When the weather gets warmer, the younger students get out their bicycles and pedal their way to school. Ten- speeds or even free-style bikes are eco- nomical and sometimes a bit chilly.
