Well, this wouldn’t be possible without getting your dirver's license. So, you join driver’s ed as soon as possible. Some are fortunate enough to be able to take this in eighth grade, but the rest have to wait until their freshmen year. Classes are held near the end of the school year. This is difficult because while everyone else is outside doing what they want you're inside trying your hardest to stay awake. But, you realize that this will be all worth it when you finally get behind the wheel. There have been some lively points in driver’s ed. Jenny Nott said I remember the time Mr. Hague said the a white cane means that it is a blind person and then he asked Pete Saarela what a brown cane meant and Pete said that it meant that the person was deaf! Jenny also remembered, the time when someone dropped the starter’s gun and it sounded like the whole school blew up!” After a few days of the classroom techniques, you finally get assigned groups and get to drive. Of course, you aren't completely in control of the car because Mr. Hague does have a brake on his side. But, at least you are driving. You make trips around town first, and then venture to such spots as Red Lodge, Laurel and Billings. Corey Scott said One time Jeff Pinnick was driving and I was in the back with Kelly Peters, but he was asleep. We were heading around that big corner right before the underpass in Laurel and there was a jogger on the side of the road, she was pretty old, too, the next thing I knew we were right behind her on the side of the road! Mr. Hague grabbed the wheel so we were back on the road, but I think that poor lady just about had a heart attack!” After you finally pass the course, sometime during the summer, most kids go to get their li- cense. Barb Vanderloos took hers and she said that, The guy who was giving me the test asked me if 1 was blind in my left eye! 1 thought I really screwed up for sure! Wrell, Barb's driving reputation hasn't improved much. Deana Skorupa commented Riding with Barb is like a living hell! So, now that you have your license, you're ready to hit the road! All those hours in driver’s ed finally paid off... didn’t they? 8

Freshman Paranoia Let the initiations begin Susan Althoff Kendra Damjanovich Tina Gatlin Boyd Hager Cory Harmon Theresa Haney As everyone knows, the freshmen year is a living hell. Paranoia overcomes the mind the instant you walk into the school. Panic sets in when you see the seniors stalking the halls armed with permanent markers. You try to run, but there's no place to hide. Your friends don't even try to help you because they are trying to save themselves. As they draw closer, your heart pounds., and a lump forms in your throat. The next thing you know, you're pinned against the wall. Helpless, your sqir m, but it doesn't help. They laugh at you as they tatoo a mustache on your face. As they pull away you frantically run to the bathroom and throw water on your face It s no use, the moustache removal process is interrupted by the bell. Naturally, the one thing on every freshmen's mind is revenge. So, they spend the next three years plotting that revenge for the future freshmen. Jamie Tuell said, I’m gonna try to stuff them in lockers...and if they don’t fit, I'm gonna try anyway. Erika McBride's idea was to Take them up to the graveyard, tie them to a headstone, shaving cream them, and make them walk home. Other freshmen, such as Kerista Webber, have milder ideas. Til just ignore them.” While Cory Harmon hasn’t even though about it. He told us he'll, “Wait till the day comes. Well, they still have three years to plan bigger and better strategy. How bad will it be? I guess we will just have to wait and see.
