Riding on air: Joe Cardwell shows off a well-executed “180 Aerial”: you hit the lip of the ramp, pull up on the bars, and twist. Easier said than done.

ut of the Yfoy irst, your girlfriend broke up with you before school, then your AP English teacher assigned a 5 page, 1500 word type-written essay describing the attitudes of the characters in the book Julius Caesar which is due in three days, and finally, when you arrived home from school, awaiting you in the mail was a rejection letter from your favorite college. This just isn’t your day! When things get slightly out of control and you feel the need to “get away from it all,” what do you look for? A quiet place. Quiet places? You've got to be kidding! In this day of advanced technology and modern conveniences you'd think that finding a quiet place would be a simple task. But ... Where did students find quiet places? The general consensus was to head for your bed- room. Not a bad choice if you could evade your mother, who seemed to manage on her own during the school day, but found 100 things she needed for you to help her with once you were home. And then there was your younger brother or sister who in- sisted on keeping their Bon Jovi tape set so loud that your iced tea glass trem- bled. Of course, you could go to the library. Since it was past 2:45 and the school library was closed you'll have to settle for the public library. But listening to the group of girls giggling in the corn er and being dis- tracted by friends who were constantly coming over to ask you questions was any- thing but peaceful. What you needed was a place that inspired dreams, a place where you could confront your problems and reduce tension. So what was left? Where on this planet could you find a quiet place? There was the golf course, with all nature surrounding you. A back corner booth at your favorite fast food res- taurant, with the aroma of french fries and hambur- gers opening your juggled mind. The bathroom. Well, at least it was quiet and private ... sometimes. The yearbook staffroom, there was seldom anyone there. The Parkway, with its su- preme beauty and unexcelled tranquility. Your basement, that was if your mother didn’t hand you the laundry and a broom on the way down. And, of course, there was always your car which might not have had unsur- passed beauty, but did offer comfort, locks, and some quiet. Quiet places? They were virtually non-existent. — Ned Moore Geting away from school: Randolph Austin and David Ferguson escape the chaos of teachers and tests in the solitude of Randolph’s car. 2D Quiet Places
