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.

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
