Mrs. Smith 744 een The members of the Firelands Flash staFl, under the able and patient direction of Mrs. Smith, endeavored to bring to the Firelands area students, the monthly accumu- lation of local school news. Alert news coverage and interesting sports happenings, along with the humurous Key-Hole, Gossip column, enlivened the pages of the Firelands High paper. Editorials from both the Flash Editor and school faculty, plus the comings and goings ot Firelands students helped to round-out the news coverage. Few, if any of the staft members, will ever become newspaper reporters or editors, but nevertheless, all the staft enioyed their venture in to the realm of copy, newsprint, and bylines.

'K Phil Howe-President. -.sf -r. During the 56-57 school year the Student Council, under the leadership ot President Phil Howe, sponsored toys tor tots, school parties, organized noon's recreations, gave a religious Christian program, and sold school supplies for the student body. As a means of improving our school government and habits, we attended other schools in groups of four. Through collecting tax stamps the council added to their treasury and in so doing laid a border foundation for next year. Each member ot the Student Council considered it a great honor to be part of such an organization. ll Cl x 'J TV Left to right: Bill Horvath, David Odom, Elenore Reising, Mike Polansky, Nancy Lamvermeyer, Phil Howe, Gwen Brumby, Larry Bettcher, Dorothy Becker, Karen Born, Joyce Kneisel, Janet Markworth, Karen Nabakow- 0 BACK Row, Left to right Larry Bettchen, Mike Polan sky. lst ROW: Gwen Brumby Phil Howe, Nancy Lamver meyer.

Fecha-'ab 7 ' ' Under the skillful guidance of Mr. Seiple, Firelands High carries out a very effective driver's train- ing program. Besides learning how to drive, the course includes learning the Ohio traffic laws, skillful manuvers, parallel parking, and learning all the parts of the automobile. It is a one semester course requiring each student to drive a specified number of hours before passing the course. This year, as an added feature, the Drivers' Training Department took a survey to determine how effective the drivers' training program is. The results showed that those people who had had the driver's training course had been envolved in far fewer accidents and had been guilty of fewer traffic viola- tions and citations. Also, the department conducted a safety check on the car that the students and teachers drove to school. For the safety of our country and our comunity the driver's training program will continue to be carried out, for we firmly believe that the best way for our young people to learn to drive is through the skillful guidance of a trained instructor. 9.'!'X T' 41 ' 1 -'-RXXY. .
