A FEELING brought you, it was into the car and around the block. it really wasn't as bad as you ex- pected. E Safely back at the patrol station, you posed for your mug shot and walked out of there with your plastic proof of independ- ence. ln the parking lot, you leaped high into the air and released one of the most ioyous WAH-HOOS of your life. J Returning to the present, you catch your- self just before running a red light. When, you say as you recall that earlier day of dread and celebration. Man, what a feeling! Jamie Sloan. Fortunate sophomore! On his sixteenth birth- day, Matt Overcash got the keys to a brand new 280 ZX. Photo by A. Starnes. ' ' 1' - 'dr -M-can A t.

FACING FEARS chool seems to take forever. As a student you find yourself always looking forward to the next step. Each step up the edu- cational ladder is filled with fear and desire. All those years you waited to be in high school, struggling through the lower grades, to finally ar- nve. It was like a dream. Emerging from the bus you would enter a world where everyone treats you like adults. Halls would be filled with people purposely mov- ing from class to class. That last thought causes a tvvinge of fearg how will you know where to go ? Suppose you look foolish in front of the upperclassmen? Suppose you can't find your classes, your homeroom, your locker? You've heard the stories: classes would be harder, tests and exams would be real killers, and teachers would show no mercy on the unscholarly. Also, what about initiation? You've heard tales about freshman hunting, about hazing and being degraded by the up- perclassmen. You know you can survive, but the thoughts of the unknown are still dis- turbing, Think positive, you tell yourself. After all, think about the freedom of lunch periods, of selecting some of your classes, of being treated in a more mature fashion, but best of all, it moves you one step closer to seniority.
