Gas Crunch 17

Page 20 text:

Putting On The Brakes Eighty-five cents, ninety-five cents, a dollar and five cents and still climbing! That was the way the gas prices went across Wynne and across the nation. It seemed from one fill- up to the next, the price increased a nickel to two. But despite the gas crunch and constantly rising prices, many stu- dents still felt the need and desire to drive to school. In order to keep their lifestyle as it was, many students found them- selves driving small, gas-saving cars instead of the roomy, gas-guzzling cars they might have originally want- ed. Guys now found it was cheaper to take their dates to a movie than to cruise around all night Driving her VW is a symbol of pride for Nancy Stinson as conserving fuel looms larger in students' minds. Motorcyclers like Leslie Covington found more advantages to riding as the price of gasoline soared. Her van has the room she wants and is the style she likes, but Stacy Crosby worries that it might use more gas than she can afford. 16 Gas Crunch

Out To Lunch A new lunch schedule added vari- ety to student's meals because they were able to eat with members of each class. The period in which a stu- dent ate was determined by the lo- cation of his fourth period class. Most students who participated in the survey thought the new sched- ule was an improvement over last year's. The next popular answer was that there was no change. Ninth graders were glad that they did not have to stand in the girl's gym after lunch. Many enjoyed the opportuni- ty to meet others. When asked if the cafeteria was crowded, answers varied so much that no generalization could be made. Student Council President Grant Carwile said the schedule was better because, ''We don't have as many people disrupting classes during fourth period. Coaches pointed out that they didn't have to move out their equipment for the ninth grade break in the girl's gym. Five minutes extra on the third lunch period gives Mark Diebold, Stacey Crosby, and Leigh King plenty of time to eat. Lunchtime is short for Lelia Davis, Karen Flowers, Susan Hill, and Gloria Zamarano. In a rush to leave before the bell rings, Ricky Long clears his tray and heads out of the lunchroom. 18 Issues
