.kk Don Keller Edward Evans Don Palmer Students test their braking time, Driver Ecl One of the most useful and popular courses offered at school is Drivers' Education. Each year many students en- roll in this program to learn to drive or to qualify for a license or lower insurance rates. Once enrolled in Drivers' Ed, these students are sub- jected to a teaching method which employs a text, a Walkie-talkie set, and a simulated driving range to provide knowledge and training. Finally, through textbook study and actual driving experience, the three goals of the course are met: safety, smooth traffic, and enjoyable driving. Drivers' Ed students learn to drive from start to finish. 45

f ' DE-DCT Many Northeast students choose to complete their high school education and work at the same time. The Coopera- tive Education department is designed to operate in this manner, through its two divisions, Diversified Cooperative Training QDCTJ and Distributive Education CDEJ. In DCT, students train for their chosen career by working somewhere in that field. DE teaches students the basic business principles of such areas as marketing, wholesaling, and retailing. In both divisions, students gain valuable knowledge. Mr. James lectures to his class. 44 .1 I DCT students discuss business. Lester Yerkes Richard James John Jones

Suzunn Horning. and Bev Benefield study parts of term paper, In today's world, we realize more than ever the impor- tance of able self-expression. The ability to communicate our exact ideas and opinions is valuable, not only in our personal lives, but also in our chosen careers. By offering courses ranging from speech and drama to journalism and creative writing, the English department seeks to develop in its students the ability to express themselves in either voice or writing. Some of the courses are elective, but all students must take English every year. In sophomore English, students are introduced to the basics of writing and usage. They also begin literature appreciation and relate what they read to the world around them. Juniors study American literature and correlate art and music with it, according to time periods. They are encouraged to think about what they read in relation to what they do, and they also are assigned creative composi- tions to apply their expanding knowledge. The main Stress in Senior English is placed on composition, with the term paper as a major project during the course of the year. Seniors are also introduced to English literature, supple- mentarily. Throughout each year of high school English, effort is made to prepare students to take their places in the world with the ability to communicate effectively with others.
