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

Americans spend money for fun The video craze The video craze is addicting. Americans of all ages spend millions of quarters a week matching their wits against the likes of the ghost in Pac Man, the gorilla in Donkey Kong, or the flying hot dogs in Mega-Mania. Also, Atari and Intellivision home games are a hot item. Junior Pat Smith, an accom- plished video game player, spends six to eight hours a weekend at arcades. He prefers The Electric Cowboy, but he recommended Arnold's or Smiley's as the best place to go if you want a lot of tokens for a dollarfl Pat, who referred to his interest as a pastime rather than an addiction, said the games were expensive at first. I was spending S5 a night, but I got better, and now I spend about two or three bucks a weekend, he said. According to Sandi Walls, manager of the Golden Nugget THE CHASE IS ON - Senior Melissa Matthews matches her wit and her quarters in the never ending struggle to beat the machine at a local arcade. Photo by Vicki Causey Arcade, the games, which have been around about three years now, are as popular as ever. The reason is hard to pinpoint. junior Todd Holloway credited the games for developing coordination and judgment, while senior Lynclli Patterson enjoyed the social aspect. They are relaxing and fun and they give you a chance to be with your friends, she said. - By Marla Hardwick .
