At the end of the day, if you go out to the parking lot, you’ll find it full of cars belonging to stu- dents. Since many of our stu- dents own cars, we decided to find out, “What made their car special to them?” We also asked them, “Have you ever had any interesting adventures in your car?” Some of the students had interesting stories to tell. Bill Chisholm - “My car is spe- cial to me because it provides freedom... One time I was coming back from Fenway, doing about 80 down the highway, and my car started shaking and the en- gine began to overheat, I thought the car was going to Blow Up!” Lynn Aro - “I love my car be- cause it takes me wherever I want to go... My friends and I were driving around one night, and I was playing with the head- lights to make sure they worked, and the car in back of us thought we were flirting with them. They ended up following us all around Falmouth, until we finally ditched them.” Todd Humphrey - “The first day I got my license. I took my car to the public library. I pulled into the parking lot and got my bumper stuck on another car. When I tried to unlock them, the other car got lifted up, until 1 was finally free. After that I parked on the street.” Brett Thomas - “I was driving down the road and the car in front of me stopped because there was a bus stopped in front of him. While we were stopped, the car in front of me all of a sudden put his car into reverse and hit me!” Wendy Greelish - “My car is H-ti-H ' 1 MH 1 i special to me because now I don’t have to rely on other people for rides... One night my friend Sandy and I were driving down Main Street in Hyannis. At a red light a corvette pulled up next to us and started to rev his engine. Behind me was another vette, and we realized that they wanted . to drag. When the light turned green, I sped up to get out of the way, but the vette next to me thought we wanted to drag with him, so I did.” -Sandy Gibbons Top; Kathy Bolyn drives along side by side with Mr. Negri dur- ing Driver’s Ed.

The work wasn’t always that hard (one person even said it was a bit monotonous), and in a little while, usually sooner than expected, most people man- aged to find their way around. Of course, there were excep- tions. A few people said they thought freshmen year would be better than it was. Overall though, most of the horrendous disasters expected by the stu- dents didn’t happen (or at least not yet). -Becky Minervino It can be very funny to look back on what has already hap- pened. When you remember your Freshman year, what do you think about? Even more, what did you expect from it be- fore it started? When some of this year’s freshman were asked this, many of their answers were the same. A lot of people thought high school would be an extreme change from anything else (that’s what they had been told). Some of them thought the upperclassmen would be less friendly. Most stu- dents agreed that they’d get lost around the school very easily and a few expected to be given wrong directions from the upperclassmen. After the year started, people began to think a little bit differ- mm f

Occasionally, before school, I will take a drive down to a beach. Then off to the coffee shop for a large-lite with cream and two sugars. After school I will often take my camera and head for some place where I can find some soli- tude and good photos. I enjoy the beach and the ocean. The mighty power of the water puts me in somewhat of a trance. Shore birds are sometimes a challenge . to identify, let alone photograph. My most favorite place to be is a forest area in Bourne called Four Ponds. I often travel here. Winter snows make for wonder- ful photographs and identifying and observing songbirds. Spring and summer offer great natural wonders such as wild flowers and fungi. Though most simple, I find these of great in- terest and am enchanted by them. This is not a typical high school student’s common daily — 1 I I I li I 1 I 1 activity, I’m sure of that, but people need to realize that na- ture is a part of our lives. Some destroy it because it is in their way, o r for fun. We need to be careful of nature’s delicate com- munities, and we need to control our growth. The natural wonders of the Earth are certainly head- ing for destruction only because of our selfishness and non-car- ing. We must learn to see this, and try to change things before it is too late.” Barry Good Top; Josh Stevens defies Newton’s Law while on four wheels.
