Why would these students pay money to take a class they knew wouldn't count as a credit and came with a lot of homework? Because at the end of the four week course, these students will take a test given by the Texas De- partment of Public Safety. The Drivers Education students who pass the written test will then receive a learners permit which enables them to drive with an adult in the front seat of a car. After twelve years of teaching Driv- er's Ed., Mr. Boozer has made it with- out any serious accidents and feels if they put forth the effort in class they might save a life later on the road. Melanie Wilson said she thought driver's ed would help her become a more defensive driver. On the other hand, Missy Ward said, ul just took the class so l could get my license right after my birthday. . will mu ' . -M . ii fzf' , ,ii 1

If the nickname fits, weor it hat do Snake, PAW, and Howie Krantz have in common? They are all students at the Grove that are plagued with nicknames. Nicknames seem to be a good way for friends to kid each other. Some nicknames arejust a take-off on their real name, but others are based on personality. Trace Warren earned the nickname Thicket because he is always trying to make his hair look thicker. Some people got their nickname a long time ago. Da- vid Oliver has been known as Snake as long as anyone can remember, and Shannon RaffaelIi's dad gave her the nickname Boo-Boo when she was little. Wendy Ratcliff could be knovsm as the girl with the most nicknames. PAW, Mary Wopner, and Rat all describe Wendy. They always kid me, and it gets so old. lt can be funny but sometimes I think l'll never hear the end of it, she said. Tricia Brackeen wonders why she ever got the nickname, Tweety. l guess fib .Qlasses it'sjust because I look like a funny, yel- low bird, Tricia said. Other nicknames like Cheapshot and Clipper were given because of the way Jimmy Townsend and Chad Davis play football. Todd Homen is called Howie Krantz because he acts like he has no common sense. Mark Hawkins just started calling me that one day at summer football practice and the name stuck, he said. Although these popular nicknames allow for a lot of fun, they sometimes be- come monotonous. lt is a necessity for victims of this popular form of ridicule to be good sports. lt's hard to lose a title once it has stuck, so if the name fits, wear it. -Paige Henson Howl: HIMSELF, Topp nowREN. sricks a coin in the vending machine at lunch. Todd was one of many students who were the victim of nick- names.
