Students were required to keep notebooks of their studies while drugs and narcotics were made more meaningful with student-conducted panel discussions. The section on human development included filmstrips and a movie on venereal disease. The bones and muscles were memorized and students learned the passage of the blood through the heart and body forwards and backwards. Students took over the class under the supervision of Mr. Ron August, during the medical self-help unit and showed filmstrips, movies and gave lectures and exams. Mr. Frank Kettleson shows sophomores Larry Lessenden and Ken Qulring the way the brake reaction test sets up and works. DRIVERS EDUCATION New Trailer; New Locale A new trailer gave Mr. Frank Kettleson an opportunity to expand to a full-time classroom. During the nine weeks academic studies were made more valuable with movies, and the visit of Mr. Stan Malo, a local insurance salesman and Corporal Haystead, a state police officer who demonstrated the drunk-o-meter. Teaching traffic safety and laws and giving students some practical experience with formal instruction were the objectives of Driver Education. 25

CADET TEACHING Proving Ground Common ground between cadets and their advisor. Mrs. Nancy Ro-senbalm, was developed through conferences and daily observations. Handling every conceivable situation that arose in the cadet’s classrooms aided in the decision on whether or not teaching was right for them. Experiences ranged from delightful to trying and quick thinking or common sense was sometimes necessary. Most of the seniors took the course for a full year.
