A Day With The Troopers Taking The Test Several years ago it was thought to be a luxury to have a driver’s license, but today it has become a necessity for many. A license is needed by many who must drive because of jobs. Before a person gets his li- cense, he must first take a written test for a permit, also given by the trooper. This permit enables him to drive on a public highway with a licensed driver in the vehicle with him. A permit must be re- newed every 60 days if he fails to get his license, but after six months of renewal he must take the written test again. The license must be renewed every two years after it is ob- tained. But if he does not follow traffic laws, he may lose the li- cense just as easily as it was ob- tained, so he must remember to drive within the laws. Danny Fudge and Shelly England are calm, cool, and collected as they wait their turn with the troopers but — The pre-test jitters strike Nancy Hancock as she hampers the mirror view of a confi- dent Marsha Cheatham. driver’s license 17

A Lot Of Cost, But A Lot Of Memories Receiving a class ring can mean several different things to an individual. It can mark the start of the junior year, one of the most expensive purchases a student will have to make throughout high school, or a piece of jewelry signifying either per- sonal accomplishments or valued memo- ries. Each sophomore anxiously waits for spring to come so he can order his class ring. Each ring ordered is as unique and priceless as the person making the pur- chase. Most rings bear the school emblem on one side or the year of graduation, with a sign of an organization or sport on the other side. A ring can even become more personalized with an inscription of the owner's name or initials on the inside of the ring. Colors of the stones with fire rays, sun- bursts, or just plain smooth or cut stones are very important to the buyer. Miniature styles and dinner rings have become more popular with the girls while the boys prefer knuckle busters and standard sized rings. If the ring fits, wear it. Checking out the features of his ring. Robert Morgan gets ready to pay up. 16 student life

We Still Just Ride Around Teenagers in Adair County were given a few more things to do this year in the form of entertain- ment. The Sonic Drive-In pro- vided a new fast food service, an- other place to circle around, and it introduced Pickle-O's to a customer's vocabulary. Both young and old were excited when the Columbian Theatre re- opened. The theatre was under new management and because of a different “bookie” they were able to show a lot more popular movies. For the high school guys a new community organization was set up called the Junior Jay- cees. They held the Toys-for-Tots drive, helped with the Jaycee and WAIN haunted house, and spon- sored a disco dance. Probably the frequent disco dances sponsored by different groups and indivi- duals throughout the year were the most popular form of enter- tainment. While snow continued to alter plans throughout the win- ter, playing cards became a popu- lar pastime and a good opportuni- ty for friends to get together. But even with some new additions to our entertainment world, the ma- jority of teenagers still found rid- ing around the most popular thing to do in Columbia. The Junior-Senior prom gives several teen-agers a special occasion at which they can dance, dress formally, and make memories. 18 entertainment
