General Motors Strike Slows Drivers' Training Because of the strike at General Motors, the drivers' training depart- ment had to operate with two cars. After the strike the department re- ceived two 1971 cars, then resumed its normal progress. The history departments goal was to have one filmstrip projector and one record player for every history class in school. New to Liberty's history depart- ment was Mr. Edward Biggs who taught freshman social studies. l 53' 1, ' 1, A i- 5 r 'gt an I I I ,,-x ' 4, ac' u ii+.5Q1Jf . tg.--1-.' T-' . M -3-'121z ., 'S .
