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

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 .
