Cheerleaders Naomi Ebira, Darcy Martin, Michelle Jocson, Stacey Hanson and Karri Castle try to motivate the crowd. lt' The A ti itie here are certain things that you have to exper- ience for yourself to truly appreciate. The cheers of a crowd . . . the rocking laughter of a group of people . . . all the noises of a party. And while recalling these times in words brings back fond memo- ries, there's an underlying feeling that this only tells part of the sto- ry. There's something irreplacea- ble about these things than can only be grasped by those who were there. That's what this year was all about, being there. Being at the dances, being at the football games, being involved in the school. lt was a year full of life and happenings, moments and memo- ries. lt was a year made up of unique events and wonderful times. There's really no other way to describe it other than You Had To Be There!

How They Did It - Student Transportation was it really worth the effort of getting out of the house with- out an assail- ment of cautions following? Was driving that important? Was the pressure of traffic really worth the hassle of driving to school? Was it worth hunting for a park- ing place at school? The answer was yesl Riding a school bus in high school was not a very dignified mode of transportation. The South-Shorians, the paper fights, the hard, uncomfortable seats, and the bus driver, all added in- sult to injury. What made things .5 at even worse was the fact that the day was scheduled around the bus- when to leave from the house and school. If the regular bus was missed, four options were usually avail- able, find a ride with someone who drove to school, call mom, take Metro, or wait for the activ- ity bus. Driving, for any hassles it may have had, was the mode of trans- portation that R.B. students pre- ferred. They did not have to put up with time tables or the bus ride home. Driving gave them inde- pendence and they were able to fend for themselves. is-.-.1 f i ' w X 6 Opening . new ,,. kit mi- 4 A scooter gets there quickly. Feet: convenient transportation.
