Hard work, 'long hours But urnrner ju tthe arne Some of what we do is fan, and some of it is hard work, but it's a lot better than living in town. ,y make sure I always have a piece of straw in my mouthg it adds to the ef- fect, said Sophomore Traci Platts. She joked about her sum- mer job as a member ofa ranching family. Several Lyman High School students spent their sum- mers working on family ranches and farms. Some of these rural students had routine tasks with routine hours. Sophomore Greg Lange said he spent the summer continu- ally feeding, watering, graining, and hauling hay to his family's horses. Other students kept an early to bed, early to rise sched- ule for most days of their summer vacation working around farms and ranches. l usually get up at 6:30 or so, said Freshman Janalee Eyre.

Eyre said she took pride in her garden. I plant it, weed it and water it, she added. Freshman Carrie Covolo helped put in a new watering sys- tem for their animals. Students said they were most pleased with the things they helped accomplish on their land. Other farming and ranching students spent summer in prepa- ration for particular events. Many students put long hours into getting animals ready for the County Fair. I market beef for 4- noted Freshman Kyle Eyre. He raised the cattle from calves preparing them to be sold eventu- ally. Through the 4-H program students are able to eam money from entry sales. I sold two pigs at the fair and earned S600 for my college fund, said Covolo. J. Bike tricks.

Eyre helped to feed grain to steers which would be butchered for winter meat. Each student had different ac- tivities for entertainment. We go to Utah a lot and if anything needs irrigated, my grampa does it, said J. Eyre. lt's really boring living out hereg I ride the three- wheeler for entertainment, said Platts. Students said they felt differ- ently about being the ranchers and farmers of Bridger Valley. Some of what we do is fun, and some of it is hard work, but it's a lot better than living in town, Covolo said. I sort of enjoy it, noted K. Eyre. The hard work, long hours and busy schedule didn't spoil the summer for farming and ranching students. They said they liked what they did with their summer. It's just differentg not so many people do it nowadays, Platts said. It's a living...well, not re- ally, she added. Tammy Hicks l I l

Lbfe in the fast lane Student find ke to freedom The worst trouble I have ever been into was when I spun ojjf the road in front of the high school. I was so em- barrassed. I hoped no one saw me. o students, a driver's license was a key to freedom. It allowed them to go wherever they wish and not depend on others to chauffeur them from place to place. With the ability to drive, a student was given a certain amount of prestige over the students who did not have their licenses. I feel more mature than people without licences simply because I can drive and they can't, said Sophomore Sharla Williams. Before a person could get a license, slhe took written and driving tests. The written section consisted of twenty questions dealing with the rules of the road and problems that might occur while driving. During the driving section the students showed their skills in action as they had to drive around the town with an instuctor. I was a bit nervous about the test because I didn't think I had studied enough, said Sophomore Cory Powers, 'ibut I only missed three on the written part. I forgot to A friend.

Police Chief Henry Schmidt, Student Body President Tammy Hicks and Principal Mike Hicks keep friendly communication open with the student body through assemblies. - Student Life Driver s License buckle my seat belt on the driving pan, but the instructor didnit seem to notice. The Drivers Education course helped students become better drivers and also prepared them for the test. Also the course lowered insurance rates and when a person took the driving test they didn't have to take the driving section with proof of taking the Drivers Ed course. Sophomore Stefanie Thomas noted, It helped me to understand that driving was a serious business. Sophomore Eric Jeans said, They asked me a lot of questions in Drivers Ed. about the basic skills of driv- ing. One of the more sobering experiences for a young driver life was the first time slhe is pulled over by a police officer. With the threat of a fine, higher insurance, anger of parents and the embarrassment of being given a ticket one preferred to never let it happen again. After the experience most students realized they were not free to do anything they wished. Student drivers were notorious for their bad driving habits and for accidents. The worst trouble I have ever been into was when I spun off the road in front of the high school, said Sophomore Bryan Johnson. I was so embarrassed. I hoped no one saw me. Thomas added, I remember being on the 'Sisters' when they were very icy. I slid into the other lane and did a '360. ' Jim Chapman
