Those harsh words, amplified by Coach Rouse's megaphone, struck fear and dread into the hearts of his students. Mean- while, in the Industrial Arts Wing, the electric whine of a table saw blended with the less im- posing sound of a freshly sharpened drafting pencil moving swifty over a blueprint. , ....g15 Whether it was learning how to drive a car or learning how to properly maintain one, the students enrolled in Driver's Education and any of the Industrial Arts classes learned the value of following a given set of instructions to the letter. , The Driver's Education students spent a long semester perfecting their driving skills and in- creasing their knowledge of the open road. The inexperienced drivers practiced their parallel parking, figure eights, three point turns, and end of the street turns. During classroom time the students did worksheets and watched films dealing with the trials and tribulations of drink- ing and driving, as well as lack of attentiveness to the road and fatigue. The students taking drafting, power mechanics, or woodworking learned to assemble small engines, sketch an apartment building, or even how to build a skimboard for the beach. Industrial Arts and Driver's Ed. provided the skills to make students' lives a little easier and safer. - T. Baker lnduftrial ArtJfDriver.f Ed 161

He notched another mark on his Walkie-talkie and con- tinued his patrol. The apprehended student tried to run for the shelter of the guidance office, but a large hand on his shoulder had different ideas. When confusion about their future arose, many students looked to their guidance counselors for direction. The counselors worked throughout the year to help students plan their schedules, arrange for taking tes and make plans for college and a career. Besides enforcing the rules, the Dean's c fice regulated the checking in and out students and controlled the amount of traf in the halls. Together, the deans and the guidar counselors worked to make the transiti from adolescence into adulthood an eas one. - B. Pike and T. Baker
