Drive my Car... rookfield Central has as part of B its curriculum three special programs: Driver's Education, Health, and Home Economics. They are characterized by an emphasis on the individual and by providing an education which is highly practical in nature. Students in these courses have a kind of hands-on training not found in most other classes. Every student at Central is required to take a semester of Driv- er's Ed. classroom theory. Under the leadership of Mr. Korpela and Mr. Esqueda, students learn not only basic automobile operation, but also safety procedures and the rules and regulations affecting driving. If the student desires, he may continue with behind-the-wheel training on the range and finally the road, giving him all the education and practice he will need before obtaining his license. Another required course for all stu- dents is Health. The class curriculum covers drugs and drug abuse, first aid, and cardio-pulmonary rescusita- tion. Mr. Gray, the schooI's Health teacher, effectively mixes stories, group participation and creative assignments to teach important con- cepts, highlighting the benefits of a positive mental attitude. Marla Goetzke says, Health is a really good course because it trains you so that if you're ever in an emer- gency situation, you can actually save a life. I really enjoyed the class. The Home Economics Department offers a variety of elective courses which cover subjects ranging from meal preparation and sewing to fam- ily living and child development. The courses are practical in nature, deal- ing with situations which will certainly arise later and help the student become more independent. Explains Pam Corcoran, My Housing and Interiors class has been both educational and enjoyable. Mrs. Pretzel is an excellent teacher, and the class really helps when you want to learn about decorating. l think it will help me a lot in the future. kf. ,,., K Vt ? ?5:wfW W t' f' t 'semi 144 X Driver's Education 'Ibm X
