Youth Recognizes Need for Driver Ed. A very important subject for students is drivers train- ing, a one-semester course which is taught during class periods. The students are taught the rules and regula- tions of driving, and an actual chance to practice know- ledge at the wheel is given to them at the driver ' s range. If the course is successful for the student, he is then eli- gible for his license. MR. LARRY BARCHESKI picks up his weekly schedule for driver ' s education.

Art Exhibits Creativity and Imagination Probably one of the most misunderstood school sub- jects is Art; most of us usually think of Art as being an easy subject and easy credit. But this is a fallacy; art requires hard work and tedious hours. From Art training the student appreciates his own work, as well as others. Training for this course begins in the junior high grade level and may be continued into the senior high level, with an extensive four year course. Devoted Art teachers make Art enjoyable and a career for those who are interested. MR. DAVID DUQUETTE conducts a critique in his art cia displayed in the halls. MR. MIKE STUCKHARDT shows the use of vertical and curved lines to one of his students. 30
