DRIVER EUUCAHUN CARE 1: PIT STOP! ! Blake Underhill moves to the driving position for his daily lesson on how to conduct a car properly. 2: Joe Fassnacht psyches himself up for another day on the road. 3: How much do they expect me to be able to put up with? reads the expression on Mr. Longfellow's face as Brad Sanderson prepares to take the wheel. ,Q Rev 'Em Up . . . Burn 'Em Cff? The energy crisis hasn't deter- red many potential drivers from obtaining their licensesg far from it. Being a licensed driver is almost a mandate in today's mobile society . It seems as though everyone already has a driver's license or is impatiently waiting for the required time limit to be over to gain this privilege. This year at DCHS so many people signed up for Driver's Ed, that it was impossible to accommodate all the interested students during the day. Though the Summer Driver's Ed. program reduced some of the numbers, after- school classes were a necessity to include all students signed up for the class, Driver's Ed. is an opportunity to study driving in theory, and get practical experience in the same course, as well as legally having the right after turning 16 , instead of waiting for an extra six months .

Mmmm mmm Good - That's What It Is! The Physical Education Department has broadened its program. This year the program has been redesigned so it will include future use of the new outside facilities. With the facilities, more co-recreational sports are available on the basis of keeping physically fit. Other changes are at hand in the department with new faces dominating. Mr. Ed Glick can be found devoting his school hours to swimming instruction on differ- ent levels. Basic levels of swim- ming are taught at first then in the more advanced groups of instruction, one finds his way into life saving. With two new instructors, Mrs. Cheryl Nattermann and Mrs. I en- nifer Humes, and a new unit of instruction on pass patterns and flag football techniques under Mr. Berto, the girls are always found enjoying themselves with dancing or working out in other interesting units . Health Classes, too have seen some change. With Mrs. Natter- man and Mr. Rick Schavietello, the rooms atmospheres have brightened a little this year. They worked to set up labs used for aids in teaching everything from bone structure to alcohol, giving the health students new experiences and knowledge in these fields. As usual Delphi is far more advanced than other schools. Our fine Physical Education and Health Department reflects this. B.B. 1: Lectures are a big part of the daily class routine in Health class.2: Jim Mullin scans the gym as he searches for a receiver at the other end of the court. 3: Keeping in step is not an easy job, even for gym teacher Mrs. Nattermann. 14 The 1976 Oracle ' 3 2

Appearing on stage as the head of the English department this year was Mrs. Laura Baker, and a tremendous cast. Each year there are hundreds and hundreds of stu- dents in and out of the many dif- ferent English courses. Students were required to take three years of English and there is a wide selection of courses from which they could choose. Creative Writing, Poetry, and Composition I and II, were designed for the students with a flair for writing. For those who liked to pass the time engrossed in an exciting story, they could choose from Short Stories I and II, American, Bible, or English Literature , and Novels I and II. Acting, Stagecraft, Shake- speare, Humanities, and Film- making offered courses of study for those students wishing some- thing out of the ordinary. With varied choices, students were never at a loss when it came to choosing an expressive English course. BAR 'I6 The 1976 Oracle
