Clair Bradshaw LESSONS IN SAFE DRIVING ana in driving techniques were those taught by the Drivers’ Education teachers at Box Elder this year. Besides practical experience on the road, prospective drivers watched movies and filmstrips on such topics as alcohol, drugs, highway regulations, and the parts of a car. The classes discussed care and maintenance of an automobile, and a day was set aside to give the girls in each class a chance to change a tire. Several guest speakers also lectured to driving students, including former alcoholics and a highway patrolman. Top left: SHAKING off the aftermaths of a test.

GAINING MILITARY EXPERIENCE, this year's ROTC members obtained a basic knowledge of naval science and military discipline. Because the ROTC program is a three year course and has only been at Box Elder for two years, ambitious seniors were given the chance to take extra classes before school three days a week. Among some of the subjects discussed in these special classes were leadership and oceanography. On October 2. 1971, arsonists set fire to Box Elder s ROTC building and much of the building's content was destroyed. In spite of this, the classes' activities were not greatly affected.
