Getting round High prices greatly influenced transportation and travel this year. Even though many of us continued to race about in our cars, we cer- tainly felt the decrease in our pock- GPS. Of course, drivin was not the only means of travel. Sue could jog, ride a bike, snow ski, skateboard, or the ole favorite, walking. While some of us were burning up gas here, a group of YHS students made an excitin trip to Europe which ended with being hi'acked. tPerhaps the hijacker also thought gas price were too highly This was how Mitch Shadid got around. The group of students who took a tour of Europe last summer, visited Windsor Castle. 144 - Closing Senior John Collins showed his skill on the skateboard down the hall way

College was the goal most of us began working toward the day we entered high school and many even before that. As a senior, we began filling out applications and schol- arships at the be inning of the year. And during tie summer fol- owin graduation many went to the college of their choice for orien- tation. College is a very ex ensive and dif- ferent endeavor. The average cost of a public school is 52,000 a year but the experiences you gain are priceless. Those who aren't attending college are going straight into a career or trade school. Kathie Slutter packs her panda as she gets ready for dorm life. College - 143

Cruising Costs I hate to sound sadistic and ut down one of the pastimes that unites the youth of America, yours truly included, but what is the purpose of Cruising ? This story came to me last Sat- urday night, as I travelled up and down Air Depot with my usual carload. A fast car pulled up beside me and a few looks were exchanged. The light turned green and as I stomped down on the accelerator, my speedometer zoomed upward, but then I noticed my gas gauge was whizzing downward. Now days there's no doubt about it, Cruising can hurt the financial stability of a teena er's econom- ic situation. In other words, it takes money to cruise. Now I can understand going and parking and having some fun at McDonalds or Sonic, but going up and down Main gets a little boring. That goes for 39th, 59th, and Air Depot too. Sure a race every few laps helps, but as you make your third or fourth lap you have to wonder if the casual race or the brief meetin of eyes between you and girlg in the Traci Taylor logged Tonia Smarra slid . . . Trans Am is worth it. Of course there's always a chance of stopping and meetin someone from another schooi We'll probably talk about each other's football team and ask them if they know so and so who went there once. If it's a girl she's almost a sure bet to have either feathered hair or a frizz left over form last year's spree of permanents. Also she'll prob- ably have ti ht fitting straight leg Levis and little wood shoes with the leather strap across the top. If it's a guy , more than like- ly he'll have hair parted in the middle and feathered back. He'11 be wearing a black T-shirt from some recent concert. However, there's always a few people who can't stop cruising no matter how old they get. But Cruising still seems to be one of the main pasttimes of the teenager today. So keep the cruising going and I'll probably see you on Main Friday night. Kelly Smith rode a bus. Closing 145 at 1 R 1'
