Myth 2 Zoeteman All Student Bodies Are The Same Everyone also HAS a student body T he words student body can mean two dif- ferent things. Everyone is a member of the stu- dent body in school, but everyone also has a student body, or BOD as it is casually referred to. Now that the words student body have been defined, where are the Bods when they ' re not in school? Most of them spend a lot of time in the locker room. In fact, 3 out of five males spend time in there every day. THE place to go when school is not in session is (the drumroll, please) THE BEACH. Laying on the hot sands and seeing the best looking BODS this side of the Competing in events which stress body power or work done with weights and exercise fin d Wayne Trav- is and Lisa Kingsbury extremely suc- cessful. universe is a great way to spend a summer afternoon. Of course, there are other rea- sons to go to the beach besides staring at perfect specimens of Homo Sapiens. A quiet sand dune is a great place to reflect on the mellow things in life. Or in- dulging in a favorite pastime, such as cycling or sleeping, is a worthwhile way to spend time. Getting a great BOD takes a lot of work, and showing it off is a lot of pleasure. Of course, weight- lifting is a spectator sport, too. But don ' t let it interfere with the other kind of student body! ♦ Carolyn Orban Zoeteman

Teenagers can drive you crazy Myth 3 i 4 1 ut dad. I ' ve had my license for two weeks. Ev- eryone else gets to drive to the mall. Driving. Ah, how one word can cause so many mixed feelings among teenagers and parents? Teenagers experience the freedom of being able to drive around with their friends with- out their parents looking over their shoulders. (Looking over their shoulder from the back seat to make sure the novice driver is in the proper lane, of course!) Parents worry about every- thing from accidents to going to those off limit places where teens have been warned not to drive. Most parents like the idea of having their son or daughter running errands with the car, usually to the grocery store to Driving is a privilege many take for granted ' pick up a few items. However, when teens want to use the car for their own needs; parents may seem a little apprehensive about letting their son or daughter use the car. The benefits of having a driv- er ' s license may seem endless, but students may find out that they have to pay the price. The price of gasoline, insurance, and repair bills will easily put a dent (no, not in the car door) in any- one ' s wallet. The cost of driving actually starts months before teens get a driver ' s license. A lot of teenagers find it helpful to take a driver ' s education course before attempt- ing to drive for the first time. While learning how to drive, the students learn the rules of the road along with the fundamen- tals of becoming a good driver. Driving classes may be a little ex- pensive, but the learning experi- ence gained is a good investment. Probably the best part of hav - ing a driver ' s license is the feeling of independence it brings. Before getting behind the wheel, stu- dents should realize driving is not a right, but a privilege. Senior Renee Kaptur said, Driving is a privilege many take for granted. People ' s lives are in your hands every time you get behind the wheel. Driving is definitely a privilege. ♦ Karen Klickmann Driver ' s Ed teacher Jerry Mazur helps Allison Galosich check out her car be- fore starting off down Indianapolis.
