Driver Education Three Classes in Une by Larry Billmeyer Driver education is one of the most popular classes here at Hempstead. Driver education teaches students the basic fundamentals of driving a car. Students must be fifteen and have a driving permit to take this course. A student does not receive a credit for this course, which is a semester in length. A student must have seventy percent or better to pass. This may seem high, but it is a state law. Driver education consists of three parts: simulator, classwork, and behind the wheel driving. Simulator is usually once a week. A student is as- signed to a simulator car where he or she watches 11 Sue Strong '84 concentrates on a right turn.

Class work consists of tests, quizzes, and textbook work. Behind the wheel driving is when the student actually gets behind the wheel of a driver education car and drives around the city and out on the highways. Most students have driver educa- tion four times a week, once for simulator, once behind the wheel, and twice for class. If a student misses a class he or she must make it up. This includes all of the classes in driver education. Driver education makes it easy to get a drivers license so a student can drive. I9 l ! 'T ' -'Isl Numan.

W., l 'Q' Business for the Future by Renae Reardon Business education is de- signed to help students learn more about the busi- ness world. Such classes as typing, shorthand, business law, accounting, sales, and marketing are just an exam- ple of those included in the education department. The program helps the student prepare for jobs after graduation and also for college. Office educa- tion and distributive educa- tion are programs within the business program and offer on-the-job training while the student is still in high school. The business program has been around since 1969 and there are presently an estimated 1800 students enrolled according to Robert Osten, head of the department. Chuck Seymour, '83, said, The business program offers a wide variety of business classes. My schedule consists mainly of courses in the business area which I took to help me prepare for college. 95

The first was Advanced Placement English and the second was an Honors English course. Advanced Placement English IAPEI, was for seniors with college level ability and was taught by Ken Resch. Honors English was for freshmen with advanced ability. I think classes should be more divided according to interest and ability levels. In some classes, people with lower ability are being pushed too hard, while smarter people are really bored. This doesn't just happen in English either, it can happen in any of the departments, said Amy Krouse '85, There are contests throughout the year that were open to the English Students. One was the David Rabe one-act play contest. Students wrote and submitted their plays to be selected for production by Vince Williams of the theatre department. The plays were performed on December ninth and eleventh when the final judging took place and awarded first through fifth place. Other contests were speech contests and various essay contests sponsored by community groups. 97
