Safety Key Sophomores learn the key to driving safety in SRC. Now be careful. Alwa s kee both hands on the wheel ...Watch for pedjestrians and DON'T ever go over 55 mph. Many sophomores heard warnings like these from their parents when they first learned how to drive. Reaching fifteen and a half meant that the? could now drive but with one hitch they ha to be accompanied by an ever-nagging, super-safety conscious adult. Parents weren't the only ones concerned about safety for the new sophomore drivers. The state of California required all high school raduates to take a course on driving and heagth education. Mike Wendt who had been teaching SRC lState Required Coursej for five years at Dia- mond Bar and eleven years prior, said he stresses the attitude of the person driving. Most of the students who are in SRC alread know the mechanics of driving but they dbn't reall understand how to act on the streets, saidyWendt. He said that for most students this class is the only thing short of an accident that can really empasize driving safety. One of Wendt's pet sayings was the cars don't cause the deaths in accidents it's the drivers . Hopefully when the sophomores get ready to drive the car with Dad or Mom telling them the rules they can say Mom, Dad, I already know.

It was a terrible time, but we had the whole summer to repare ourselves for that dreadful gay. A week before the D-day mom took us for our new school clothes. So just before we left we called up all of our friends and asked, What type of tennis shoes are you get- tin ?', Well, of course, everyone said, Reeboks. That was one less worry we had to think about. The night before school, mom made sure that we had retired early for our, big day, ahead of us tomorrow. That morning, we got u twenty minutes before the alarm clfock was to awake us from our trance. We laid there not knowing what today had in store for us. Finally mom peaked in and told us to start getting ready for school. So after we got done taking our half-an-hour shower, the most important Bart of the day was next, doing that air or putting on our makeup. After that, it was time to pick out our wardrobe. We didn't want to look all gussied u , so we decided to go all casual. Ri lit then, mom told us it was time toaeave, so we grabb- ed all of our school supplies, 2 packages of wide ruled notebook paper with our trapper portfolio, and 3 packages of number 2, mind you, pencils. Once we had arrived we had everything we could need, if it wasn't in our hands it was in our backpacks. We couldn't believe that we left the school's map on the kit- chen table at home. We wouldn't dare ask an upperclassmen for directions, in for our lives, so we ended up in senior physics instead of our health class. Finally it was the end of the day, we met some new friends and old. We were so glad that it was over. Now as you look back, was it really that bad?
