Many stu- dents are awarded new cars for graduation. Others are fortu- nate to get their new car as soon as sophomore year. But, are these new car owners as fortunate as they may seem? Or are the fortunate ones really the ones with no car at all? Along with a new car comes many expenses, as well as great responsibili- ties. AS inflation Went up this year SO did the Cost of buying a Car Students are likely to be seen in economical cars such as this one. One may be able to buy a used car for as low as 5200, On the other hand, if a used car just isn't your thing , be prepared to spend about 54000 for a new car, without the luxuries. The buck doesn't stop here. Insurance is another factor which makes owning a car very expensive, especially for boys under 18 years of age. Insurance for guys under 18 years of age costs as much as 5400 every six months. For girls the price is a little more lenient. The average price girls under 18 years of age pay for insurance is about 5200 every six months. Don't get discouraged now, we're not finished yet. ln addition to the cost of the car itself and insurance, there is also the cost of gas. Who wants a car with no gas? The cost of gas nowadays is anywhere from 51.14 a gallon to 51.49. The price of gas is expected to rise even higher in a year or so. A car doesn't run on gas alone. To keep one's car in good running condition required mechanical aid. This includes a tune up about once every year, with the price ranging from 575, not ' ' to mention additional odds and ends work needed to be done. With all this in mind, is a new car really worth it? Or is West Town Bus Company back in service again. This do it yourself racer, built by Al Dunker, minimizes the cost of pur chasing a new car. 15

Ghosts, goblins and ghouls couldn't keep the spirit of Halloween away from Proviso this year. Creeping through the halls among the more reserved students were clowns, witches, cowboys, punk rockers, and other creative costumes. lt was an unusual change from an other- wise normal day. There were a lot of activities taking place the whole day to keep everyone busy. Each year the Child Development class plans a party for a group of small children. They play games, have treats, and show off their costumes. Young or old, Halloween was enjoyed by every- one. fleftj Wearing a variety of costumes this year were fsittingj Debbie Turek Qbaclq Michelle Kus, Sherri Achuff, and Dianne Rhode. was-m,,,
