BULL'S-EYE-Perhaps Bette Kedrock is telling Bonnie Dougan, Maid Marian could never top this. Teachers stress techniques ot indoor, outdoor sports William Tell might find it amusing if he hap- pened to pass by in the fall when the girls' phys- ical education classes are participating in archery. At the same time, despite the chills, the boys' classes are playing football. A quarter of bowling gives both boys and girls an opportunity to learn basic bowling techniques and to develop bowling skill. Basketball, wrestling and volleyball are the in- door sports for the boys. Girls participate in bas- ketball, volleyball and recreational activities such as ping pong, shuttleboard and trampoline.

Good driving habits and safety are em- phasized in the driver training program. Drivers learn on manual and automatic transmissions This year driver education students have been learning driving skills in a station wagon with a straight stick transmission and a sedan with auto- matic transmission. The Aetna Drivo-Trainers, which are used for classroom training, also have straight stick transmission. Other classroom study, which takes tour weeks, consists ot a study of Iowa Motor Vehicle Laws. Anyone taking the course, which is required for graduation, must have his parents till out a card giving their consent. A summer session, which may be more conveni- ent for a student with a full schedule, is on a year- to-year basis and is decided on by the Board ot Education. Driver education instructors, Julius Tesch and Charles Patridge, teach not only proper driving skills, but also the proper attitude tor driving.

CRAFTY GIRLS - Students in Cecelia Fye's crafts class use potatoes to make designs on Christmas wrapping paper. Many career opportunities related to home economics Education for life as a woman . . . this is the important product that the home economics depart- ment has to sell. This life may include marriage, child-raising and homemaking. lt may be the life of a woman who wants to pursue any of the almost limitless careers in the field of home economics. Besides the obvious career opportunities, there are thousands of related fields such as interior decora- tion, physical therapy, technical journalism or so- cial welfare work. Home economics in high school is an excellent beginning for any life's work a woman may choose. Cecelia Fye, clothing and design instructor, is new to the home economics staff but not to the department. Miss Fye was a student teacher in Mqgon City during the Spring Qf 1961.
