Transportation was an important consideration for Rocky students. The Sophomores, not having their driver ' s licenses yet, had to arrange for rides in other students ' cars, or a bus was available. About 600 cars were regis¬ tered at the beginning of school. Students were able to park in the ample parking lots across from Rocky each day. Many students chose to walk to school, but others, because of the distance from home, had to depend on various modes of transportation. Johannes ' Bus Service was available for a monthly fee of $6.50. Lucky students having their own cars shared rides, sometimes charging a token fee to take care of gasoline. Others chose to ride a bike, pogo stick, skate board, roller skates or other novel means of transportation. 24 GETTING TO AND from school is an important consideration for stu¬ dents. Ruth Annne Dismer and Kay Schaumberg are seen leaving the bus.
