Students reacted many humorous ways when they saw someone point- ing a camera at them. As Laura Seiffert shouted, “they freak out.” The group of Cliffy Conway, Amy Tharp, Shannon Smith, Cathy Brown and Shelly Meares all made goofy faces like sticking their tongues out or made bunny ears. Others like Ray Thomas posed and made a muscle and Wendy Hough ran and hid behind a locker. Sasha Shawn Looney reacts to the camera. He was surprised and pleased as the picture was taken. Marcia McKenzie and Shelly Conners turn away from the camera so their pic- ture is not taken. Student Life

Jr. King tests his skill on the driving range. He is driving at an incredible speed of 10 m.p.h. Under Pressure Driving During School There were students in this school who did not sit around a classroom for every class period:.For twenty-two days eight students got to go outside and actually “‘Drive!!’ Of course there were rules: you had to have a learner’s permit, ““And a foot ‘to press the gas pedal” replied senior Gregg Wall- humer. These students got to drive out on the driving range and twice on Route |. When sophomore Scott McNair was ready to go on the road he was surprised, “Coach Trant was really relaxedvand nice. He didn’t try to scare me in any way.” The students liked the class alot except when they had to drive the brown truck. ‘““The brown truck has no power steering which made it really hard to do the exercises” exclaimed junior Andrea Stephens. Another thing that the students disliked was to parallel park. Senior Mike Hobbs explained, “I hated it because after I rolled my car back and forth twenty-five times I was still about four feet away from the curb.” One thing the students all agreed onewas that the class was fun. “The class was like a little break from school” stated Shawn Schmidt who was looking forward to his classroom training so he could hurry and get his license. To all the students this was their chance to gain a little more freedom. Dalphene Parks, the range instructor, had a very positive attitude about all the students she had taught and concluded with the statement, “I truly hope that they develop into safe.and responsible drivers.” This class was not only fun for the studentsy but it also taught them safe driving habits. Theresa Fallon struggles to complete the eight exer- cise; Jr. King braces himself. Student Life 21
