CADET TEACHING Leadership Exhibited Nine seniors took advantage of the cadet teaching program to confirm a commitment in education or to dispel their previous interest. Mrs. Nancy Rosenhalm provided direction for the cadets, while they exemplified leadership to their students. I he cadet program included research and notebook work along with practical classroom application. The various classroom situations ranged from reading stories and demonstrating soccer and wrestling to giving spelling tests and preparing bulletin hoards. The youngsters developed relationships with the cadets in the form of friendships as well as mutual admiration. Traveling to five other schools in the district made the course a unique experience in organization, planning and leadership. Answering questions about spelling is Laurie Barnhart; she teaches fourth grade at Whitworth every day.

DRIVERS ED UCATION Simulator Acquired Under the direction of Mr. Frank Kettleson, Dallas High sophomores studied the techniques of driving. The course stressed the importance of certain skills, such as turns, correct signaling, stopping and parking procedures. Students also got practice in changing tires and took practical driving tests. Some of the skills tested were; reaction time, visual acuity, depth perception and color blindness. Every student in Drivers Education had six hours in the car. This enabled them to apply classroom work to the actual act of driving. A new addition to the program. Drivers Ed. acquired a simulator which tested students while they viewed films. Many students who participated in the Drivers Ed. program found it easy and profitable. Drivers education classes keep up with women lib!

FOREIGN LANG UAGE Course For Beginners Combining their efforts, Mrs. Margaret Kelly and Mr. James Johnston led their students through a fulfilling year in the Foreign language department. Besides the usual four levels of Spanish and French, a new course, Conversational French and Spanish were injected into the foreign language departments’ schedule. Spanish and French I students learned the fundamentals of their chosen language in creative ways such as reciting poems, learning songs, and French students wrote letters to pen pals. Higher levels of French and Spanish worked on translation and individual areas needing improvement. Both classes studied and discussed their chosen countries; their customs and people. 24
