Parking Requires Imagination As spring fever and seniority set in after the Christmas holidays, seniors began spending every spare moment off campus. As less attention was paid to the rules, students began arriving anywhere from three seconds to ten minutes late. It was soon realized that the closer one parked to the classrooms, the faster one could get there. This meant parking in the back was unheard of for anyone running late, and, of course, the spaces up front were always already taken. Cjrlos Fitultt's Toyou truck and Brian Fenn's 300ZX were only two cars that were frequently seen parked at the chain to save time. When the founding fathers originally had the bus circle built, they had no idea that the Class of '87 would take it over their own use. The first spaces to be created were at the chain. Originally put up to block the quick exit onto the boulevard, this nuisance soon became the source of four more spaces up front. The next area to be invaded was the bus circle, more commonly known as the senior circle. The only stipulation for these ten to fifteen spaces was that the cars were to be moved by seventh hour. If not, one would end up like Kelli Stegall, trapped behind the buses until 3:45. Then, there were always the creative seniors who parked on Chapelwood, on the grass between the Chapel and Cha-pelwook, and Bill Mote, who pulled his car up between the row of trees next to the front parking lot. I I Seniors 84 Seniors Escape To Forest Park One of the privelages of being a senior is having a free hour instead of a study hall. During free hour, the seniors soon found that they could do just about anything, both on campus and off. They would study, talk, grab a burger, go swimming, go skateboarding, and drive around. But, most of all, they enjoyed visiting Forest Park. The park, located not more than two and a half minutes from campus, soon became a popular senior hangout. This year, many surprise Birthday picnics” and frisbee football games took place at Forest Park. Other activities included studying, talking, taking naps, driving around the circle, and even playing on the swings. One of the most memorable events was Brian Fenn's incident of losing control of his red 300ZX and driving it into the ditch. For everyone, Forest Park provided more than just a change of scenery. It became a second home for the Class of '87 during school hours.

The senior class chose to participate in a blood drive organized by Our Lady Of The Lake. Each member of the class helped in some way, whether it was as a donor, a receptionist, or the sponsor of another donor. With the cooperation of everyone, the blood drive was a great success with forty-eight pints of blood donated by tnirty-nine seniors, one junior, and eight members of the faculty. While some people were motivated to give blood by the sheer joy of doing something good, some people like George Varingo had to be bribed by the cookies that were being given out after. Then, there were people like Beth Weitz who were terrified going in, but realized afterwards that It wasn't so bad after all! Some people were unable to give blood due to colds, fevers, lack of food during the day, and being under During her third period free hour.
