Debbie Hamner and Ian Crowe in riding the bus to and from school. Horns blaring and tempers flaring, students fought to get out of the parking lot. With only one exit to the highway, there was always a long wait. “It made me mad. I just wanted to run over everybody. commented Doug Merrell. a junior To avoid this, many students rushed to the parking bt as soon as the bell rang. After football games, it became worse. With all of the parking being in one place, the traffic jammed up fast It was not uncommon to wait thirty to forty minutes before finally getting out. The walk from the parking lot to the school is long. On those cold, early mornings, it felt like miles before shivering students reached the warm school. When everyone was hurrying out after school to beat the rush, the long sidewalk slowed everything down. Senior Clint Cook had a great idea. “They should have a shuttle system or else move the parking lot. Something that had caused some controver- sy was the new parking stickers. Every car must have one. Students didn’t understand the purpose of them and felt that they were just a “hassle.” Cars without stickers were towed away. To the teachers, the separate faculty and stu- dent parking lots were a real plus. They didn’t have to worry about finding a parking spot. The vandalism to teacher’s cars had been cut way down. With the strange hours that some of the teachers are at school, they were reliev- ed to have their cars parked away from the “crazy teenage drivers.” There are many dif- ferent ways to get to school. Car pooling seemed to be most popular Since the school is farther out of town, it was more economical. It wasn't un- common to see four or five kids piled into a car. Students still rode the bus and waited in the cold. While they waited, students studied for tests, caught up on the latest, or just shivered. Some of our more creative sophomores rode their skateboards to school. Suzanne Hales Kenny Mohar 7-11 Restaurant — Homemade taste without the wait. Parking Traffic 15

SADIE SPARKS ■NEW IDEAS Creative — what bet- ter word for Sadie Hawkins? Whether it be dinner for four at the beauty salon, riding to the dance on a hay wagon. or simply wearing matching shirts. Sadie couples showed style. Traditionally, Sadie Hawkins has been one of the favorite dances of the year, and this year was no different As the night of Sadie quickly approach- ed. girls asked their dates early in a strange variety of ways from a bouquet of balloons with a message attached, to a personal visit by a gorilla during class. Robyn Reed had Renee Drollinger dress as a preacher and read a doctored scripture to ask Duane Wood to go to Sadie. Hi Lites sang a special song to Shane Goodman for Christy Toone. It’s no wonder that the male population of the school was suspicious. Those who had been to Sadie before awaited the night with anticipation, those who hadn’t, with fear Like most dances, the excitement of a typical Sadie date began long before the dance. Rita Barker and her date. Colt Mortenson, ate a quiet candlelight dinner of pizza at Remember the Main Park before going to the dance. At the dance, couples waited in a long line for their turn to be joined in the holy vows of bondage. Slaves promised to give up their worldly possessions to their masters, while the masters in turn vowed to feed their slaves fresh fruit at least once a month. Sealed with a handshake, a sign- ed document, and “gold bands, girls used the ser- vices of their slaves for the rest of the dance. Niel Goslin summed up the dance. Sadie was fun!” and then added. 1 liked being a slave. Shelly Rasmussen Master Penny Anfinson spent the entire Sadie evening surpris- ing and playing practical jokes on her unsuspecting date.
