Seemingly the expression Free Wheelinm personified, Jim Nelson Qleftj rides his motorcycle as his form of self expression and sense of freedom. Students' cars Qabovej form a slow-moving line as the drivers, eager to escape the school's confines, anticipate the freedom of the open road. STUDENT LIFE 27

The wheel. one of man's earliest inventions, still plays a major part in American society. Many Morton students drove to school every day in their own cars or their parents. Going through the school parking lot, one would see everything from a brand new Porsche to a fifteen year old Ford Falcon or a g beat-up Cadillac. Another variation of the wheel used for transportation was the motorcycle which was popular among boys when weather permitted. Skateboard riding came back this year but remained only for a short while as it disappeared almost as suddenly as it appeared. Bicycling, a means of both transportation and entertainment, and rollerskating for recreation retained their long- standing popularity among Morton students. Auto courses available at Morton allow students to have experience maintaining their cars. Mark Gall Qabove, rightl measures the amount of air in a tire. To many students who attended the concert sponsored by the Senior Class, F reewheelin' fabovej is not only a band's name but a frame of mind and way of life. Hurrying home on his bicycle after a vigorous day at Morton, Jim Bosh's liberated spirit irightj almost causes him to run into Bill Wayne in the parking lot. 26 STUDENT LIFE , :Q A, l 5 1 ,i Ji l l l i l i 1 F 1 i mv

During their walk home from school, Margaret and Maureen Heffernan trightl talk and enjoy the fall day. Even when it's been a bad day, sharing your affection with someone you care for Qbelowj makes it bettery Q l 1: 3 ss A friend is a present you give yourselff, At Morton West with over three thousand students, each being different from the rest, there are no two friendships that are exactly alike. There are friends to whom you give a polite hello and nothing else, friends that just serve to help you pass the time pleasantly, and best friends that you understand and who understand you. A friend can be someone who is always free to go out for pizza, someone who will double date with you if you're desperate, or just someone who will take time to hear you out. Of course, to many Morton West students the most important kind of friendship is that with someone of the opposite sex. Many couples enjoy spending much of their free time together at school functions such as the dances, playnights, or athletic events or in outside activities such as Chicago's many rock concerts or motion picture screenings. To most students school wouldn't be worthwhile without friends. Morton West is big enough to make a new friend every day, and each new friend could become a life long buddy or possible mate for marriage. R QT! TDI-ENT T .IFR Jil!
