ENJOYING the nice spring weather, senior JENNY ECKERT drives with her window down as she pulls out of the parking lot. Did They Know You? When people saw your car on Fri- day night, did they know it was you? Students and cars go way back. Cruising on a weekend night or just going out on a date were just a cou- ple of the uses of a car. Hardwork and quite a few long hours worked wonders when a stu- dent wanted to buy his own car. “Buying my own pick-up gave me a lot of self-pride,’’ remembered sophomore BART PULVER, ‘’knowing that | worked for it, and it was all mine.” To a student, getting his or her own car had advantages. ‘‘You can drive whenever, wherever you want,” commented senior KIRT BOXELL, PHOTO BY VIC HARRELL “and you're not always asking your parents for their Chevette, big boat, or whatever.” Still, there were others who decid- ed to keep on using Mom and Dad's car. ‘It may be a boat, but it’s all I’ve got,” remarked sophomore MICHELE MACHALL . Whether it was cruising with friends, going out on dates, or travel- ing to work, cars had been and would continue to be something that students could not maintain a healthy social life without.

PHOTO BY TOM JENT Spring has prung It was in the air. Slowly creeping through the halls of HN, gaining momentum every day until finally it could be ignored no longer. Spring had sprung. The snow thawed, but the ther- mometer stayed in the lower degree marks until the end of April, when flowers bloomed and robins reap- peared. Students’ performances also showed a sure sign of spring with fre- quent unexcused absenses and a tendency to drift off during class. Keeping one’s mind on school work wasn’t easy as the end of the 30 STUDENT LIFE school year rolled around, especially before spring break. For those who planned travel for their week’s fun, it was especially hard. ‘Spring break was great because there was so many fun people in Florida,’’” commented junior SHELBEY MILLNER. Students not only left for a week, but many took pre-arranged absences and left early or stayed late. Academics took a place in the back seat for some students when warmer weather approached. Bikes, conver- tibles and motorcycles popped up out of storage for the winter and became in plain view. School coming to a close, graduation nearing and springy weather were reason enough to celebrate for some students. Friday and Saturday nights were great for cruising around with the windows rolled down and seeing everyone do- ing the same. Some students spent Sunday afternoons playing baseball and tennis or just having a shady pic- nic lunch. MEG MACHALL PHOTO BY TOM JENT gpd”
