CATCH A RIDE Students find a variety of ways to transport themselves Many students attending Minnechaug will jump at the chance to catch a ride to school in a car. From the classic junkers to souped-up Camareros, not a difference does it make to the student what type of car he or she drives. The school lot not only serves as housing for the cars during school hours, but it is also a place to chat with friends and unwind after the day. When or if you are able to drive a car to school be sure you know what you ' re getting yourself into. Car keys in hand may bring unexpected peo- ple near who are desperately seek- ing a ride. Suddenly, friends who never thought twice about riding the bus have declared it a social haz- ard and vow never to be caught dead on one ever again. This is where your car comes into play. If you ever won- der where that tank of gas has disap- peared to, just look at all the people you said yes to when they asked you for a ride. Between 7:00 and 7:30 a.m. the student parking lot draws all sorts of enthusiatic school-bound students. Well, not all of the students are school-bound and others not too enthusiastic. Some of the students use the parking lot as a place to make plans for skipping school (or at least blowing off A block). Others choose to turn right around and return home to catch more sleep. At the sound of the last bell, stu- dents are off and running. Get me out of here is the attitude of most students. If you have a car, it ' s the best possible way to get yourself out.
