Senior Mike Flemister, who was ong millions of people all over e world who saw the movie, said at E.T. was just a little creature at you had to like. eyes and personality just you interested, he said. the movie, E.T. was just one of your bud- dies. The E.T. phenomenon didn't stop with the movie. There were E.T. posters, video games, dolls and T-shirts to keep the little alien earthbound. Some claimed he was child's play and represented no more than the latest fad. But others found a lasting and deeper meaning in the E.T. craze. Senior Trisa Adkins said that the affection for E.T. demon- strates that maybe there is a little bit of child left in all of us. E.T. may be for kids, she said, but that doesn't keep me from liking hirn. I even got an E.T. doll for Christmas. junior Holly lnmon was also optimistic about the longevity of E.T.'S popularity.

He grows on you.'l Regardless of his importance or his chances of symbolic lasting stardom, E.T. was definite- ly a part of the '83 scene.

For then, he knows, there'II be no more walk dates and no more car pools. It'II just be, Move over, world, make room for my wheels. But first there's the test to pass, and, according to sophomore Michael Herrera, that isn't always easy. I thought it would be easy, but it wasn't,,' he said. I took it three times before I made 95 out of 100, and that's the lowest you can make and pass. That was the written part. The driving part posed problems too, Michael recalled. The cop was nice, he said. He just said, 'drive around the blockf It wasn't as hard as I expected, but I was scared. Luckily, about the worst thing I did was run a stop sign, and he let that pass. Michael said he celebrated on his sixteenth birthday by taking a girl on his first real car date. I-Ie plans to have his own car in time for his junior year, and the parking lot perils of broken glass, parking hogs, and the 3:30 traffic jam don't worry him a bit. I'm willing to risk it, he said. I know it won't be easy paying for gas and insurance, but I won't have to depend on anyone else to take me where I need to be. I may be wrong, but I think it'll be worth it. I can't wait. - By Karen Lacewell Sophomores, Sophomore driving!173
