Another Wave of New Drivers Hits Poudre It seems like everyone is yelling at you. Your mother: Where's the fire? Slow down! Your father: I keep telling you, you're not getting a car until you can pay for your own insurance! On the driving range: Car Number Eleven! You're still not doing it right. You're at Parallel Park Right, not the weave! These are all a part of what we call learning to drive. This sophomore-year ritual has been faced by most of us. It begins with Drivers' Ed, a quarter-long course in which students learn sen- sible driving practices, which many seem to forget after the class is over, judging from the high rate of fender-benders and collisions among students. Then students experience The Range. Here, one rehearses var- ious parking and maneuvering sit- uations. Although some stations are difficult fas Mark Schmidt stat- ed, I hit five cones in one day, j, it gives students good practice. Then, once all the practicing, per- mits, and simulating are out of the way, it remains only to get THE LICENSE: your ticket to freedom, responsibility, and sometimes trou- ble. As one mother stated, Letting my daughter drive has created a monster! ' uf -,1 fr ' f ff 4. 4, .V H Z.. wr f 034 V . . .. ,, ,Q fi Q7 rr' -' Q V - , - - Ag fm, .' 2 V Q , ,Q 1 W AVI!

Sometimes even cars on the driving range get into fender-benders, as in the case of Car JH. lNote the front right fendenj This is the voice you hear encouraging and, occasionally, scolding over your car radio when you are on the range: Merle Rolfs.

Mrs. Cook don't look so surprised! Many of our teachers have very different ideas of what to do during their free time. We have taken some of the most interesting. For instance Hubka riding around on his horse Amber. Mrs. Sommer- meyer and her favorite star Alf. With all the things we see them do at school, this is surely a differnt aspect of our teacher's lives outside Poudre High School. Who's the newest face in the Eng- lish department? It's Diedre Cook, the coach of the Forensics team, who is always saying, Believe in yourself. Mrs. Cook, a former teacher at Centennial, says that Poudre contains a warm, caring, environment. At first she was hesi- tant to come, but now she plans to stay for twenty years. She loves Poudre's atmosphere and the fact that the students do not stereotype one another. She is a volunteer for community activites and partici- pates in athletics. She has been married for 7 years and has a three year old daughter. Currently, she is working on a sa- fehouse for troubled adolescents. She enjoys many other activities, including skiing, camping and gar- dening. Poudre is a good place to be and I have many challenges to face, both with myself and with my Forensics team, says Mrs. Cook. 1 7
