Dream Car, No Car, or Does Mom Drop you Off? Destination: Valdosta High School For students who used the Valdosta High bus system, rise and shine time came much too early. They frantically raced about to prepare for school and rushed about to catch the bus only to arrive at school 30 minutes early. Other students however, blessed with their own car or a friend with a car, raced down Northside or Perim- eter breaking time and space barriers in order to reach school at exactly 8:01 in approximately 4 to 6 minutes. Still others whose parents chauf- fered them to school woke to the sound of “Hurry up! I’m gonna be late for work!” Many of these students were underclassmen anxiously awaiting the big 16 when they could finally take their driver’s test Billy Hamilton and Mark Daughtrey talk as they get out of the car. 12 Student Life

On The Job With ... Has it ever occurred to you why the hallways are less crowded after lunch? Well, it is because many of the students leave at either 12:00, 1:00, or 2:00. The way that these students can leave without being in trouble is that each of them has a job. Valdosta High School provides pro- grams to provide experience for it’s students in the working world. Yet, many students manage to find employ- ment on their own. But why work? The reason for working can stem from many things, for example, want- ing to receive a stubstantial cash flow or just growing up and taking on a new responsibility. Most that work just like knowing they have a little spending money in their pocket. However, some students may save this newly earned money to pay for college, to buy that new car , or to spend on a special night like prom. All that is left for the student to do is just try to keep the job. Rosalyn Thompson uses her time to arrange the silk flowers at the World Bazaar At her father’s office.
