Trans- porta tion: Cars Are 'Big9 in the Life of a Teenager Cragars, Keystones, and Fentons. Goodyear, Firestone, and Mickey Thompson. Gabriel, Monroe Max, and Hi-Jackers. These name brands and many more make up some of Silver Creek's various cars which play a big part in the daily lives of S.C. students, owning a car. Nearly all students owning a car must have a part-time iob to main- tain and insure it, because the auto- mobile is depended on for several everyday functions. For some people a car may be nothing but trouble from the very beginning. Filling it up with gasoline is only a start. Costly repairs, espe- cially body work, is another burden to the careless driver. When you glance into the parking lot, you can see several different things. S.C. offers everything from small cars like Ricky Miller's '73 Vega to large cars like Gordon McRae's '73 Monte Carlo to classic old cars like Terry Langford's 57 Chevy to new cars like Steve Davis' '75 Elite to high performance cars like Russ Hostettler's '70 Camaro to beautifully customized cars like Tim Clark's '70 Chevelle Malibu. It's quite obvious that everyone has their own opinion of what is the sharpest car on the road, but nearly everyone will agree that they are a vital necessity in today's fast paced Chester Landers, father of freshman Chip Lan- ders, was proud of his new 1939 Buick when it came off the production line.

Mr. Mosley moved his sixth period study hall cafeteria in order to give more mobility . . keep better tabs on their actions and reactions. to the . and to Study Halls: Students Moved to Cafeteria for 6th Period What is a study hall? Is it a place to play cards? sleep? At Silver Creek it is all of these things. Every period during the day a study hall is offered. Some students take a study hall because they have nothing else they'd like to take and others take it for a break from their classes. This year the 6th period study hall was held in the cafeteria. Why the change? Number one e it is bigger and Number two - it saved Mr. Mosley from writing passes to get a drink of water or use the restroom e both of which are in sight from the cafeteria win- dows. Not to mention the fact that it allowed him to see the ones who tried to skip in route to the library. Frosh Kim Kohl takes a break from a strenu- ous session with the books??? W3 ter Problems: Was Something Really Wrong With the W3 ter? How can you have class with half the class missing? That is iust about the way it was from the 18th of April thru the 28th of April. There would be 150 kids absent in the morn- ing when classes started and over 200 absent by lunch time. Kids were just going home right and left. But Why? Well, nobody really knows for sure; but, everybody seemed to get a stomach flu, consisting mostly of vomiting and diarrhea. What really caused this sick- ness? Was it really the water as everybody claimed it was? Health Officials were even sent in from Atlanta, Georgia to test the water and they still don't know what the problem was. Let's have a roll call?
