Course gains a new teacher Driver’s Education was not operated under the school system. The state op- erated the program. The in- structors received their instructions from the state and proceeded from there. According to Mr. Ray- mond Brown, department chairman, the course was very popular among the stu- dents. This was the fourth year the students had the driving range. They were required to have a certain amount of hours on the range, on the road and in the classroom. The courses were taught under the direction of Mr. Raymond Brown, Mr. Roger Blackwell, and Mr. Donel Taylor. Mr. Donel Taylor and Mr. Roger Blackwell inspect one of the driver's ed cars.

Department expands I i The Science Department continued to have a steady climb in enrollment. The rooms were extremely small and the spacing was inad- equate to keep up with the new supplies needed in the department. One solution to the problem was the usage of an old home economics room. The Science Department still had time for learning and fun. A vast array of field trips were taken to interest- ing places. The Advanced Physical Science class and Chemistry classes went to collect lake samples at But- ler County Lake. Lab ses- sions were attended by all classes at Friends University and Emporia.

The Business Department had new attendance proce- dures, also. After the third absence a half hour of time after school was required to make up for the absence. Each tardy resulted in a fif- teen minute detention. The business classes were all electives. The students took the classes that they wished to take. I like to be in a class that I choose to take.
