ATURES FE lk I I IDIECIIKIIIESS driving styles of the not so rich and famous 66 ood morning and Welcome anxiously await their sixteenth birthdays. seniors and a few unidentifiable sopho- aboard. Our cruising speed today will be 55 - no, make that 65- miles per hour. Fasten your seatbelt, signpost ahead. Already five minutes late, you peel out of your driveway, cutting off oncoming traffic, nearly hitting your next door neighbor and his dog, and showing total disregard for an octagonally shaped sign that reads the dreaded word, STOP . You fly out of your neighborhood and point your car in the general direction of your final destination- Salpointe. As soon as possible, you cut into the suicide lane lotherwise known as the reversible lanel. What's this? A speed limit sign? Ha, ha, ha! Mach I is broken about half- way to school when you rush through a red light. llt was yellow when l entered the intersection, I promisell As the sec- ond bell is sounding, you whip into the parking lot and take the quickest route to your assigned parking place. Although you come nowhere close to fitting be- tween the lines, you waste no more time before scurrying off to class. Just one more day in the life of a typical student driver. Every year, sophomores and juniors Upon arrival of the memorable date, the typical student will take one of two paths. Some will camp out at the motor vehicle department, waiting until the minute it opens to form the line to take the test. Others take a more nonchalant attitude towards the matter. By the time they turn sixteen, they will not have thought about getting a permit, much less a license. Rather unsurprisingly, these people are usually the ones who do not have access to a car. The students who are entrusted with a mode of transportation, however, usually find themseves in the vicinity of school at 8:25 a.m., Monday through Friday. They will either head for the dreaded parallel parking on Cherry Street or else they will travel any which way through the student parking lot lshowing little regard for white lines and directional arrowsl. Their final destination should be a parking space with a number painted on it that coincides with a yellow piece of paper displayed in their car window lin all actu- ality, where they park depends on how late they are for classl. As soon as the bell rings for lunch, madness hits the Salpointe halls. Juniors, mores scramble out of class and race to the nearest car. Traveling at 5 mph until out of sight of agent 200 lalias Father Fosterl, Students make their way out of the parking lot. Once broken free from the confines of the lot, the race is on. Cars fly every which way down Copper and Cherry and other residential zones. The Dust Control Zone, lwhich everyone obeys, right?l is ignored by hungry stu- dents on their way to the local fast food hangouts. The stomachs of the once rav- enous students now filled, everyone heads back to school in a similar manner, although sophomores have been known to take a little extra precaution in getting back on campus. Once school lets out, students once again jump into their cars, newly gar- nished with dents and scratches, to make a mad dash for the exit. They rush home to get homework done and to go to bed, resting up for the next day, when they will once again get behind the wheel and venture off to school. TONY ALBANESE AND DA VE SCHNUR
