We are driven Before graduating from high school, most students took driver education, required of teen-agers wanting to obtain a driving permit. Roosevelt also offered behind-the-wheel instruction, but only to those who had obtained their permits. In most students’ minds, using the simulators was by far the most interesting aspect of the class. Students watched a movie on a screen in front of the classroom. The drivers were then able to imagine that they were driving the streets in the movie. Besides the time spent on simulators, students were required to observe cars traveling the streets and write a report about their findings. Top: Steering. Shannon Brookin notices camera.

Media Center renovates New changes worked well in the newly redecorated Media Center. Sheila Woodbeck and Marybeth Nelson were happy with new technology. Improvements included a T.V. studio and a room for editing video equipment. Besides the remodeling, new personnel were added. Barbara Risken, a media generalist, and Freddie Owens, a media aide, were the new additions. A new checkout system, Circulation Plus, we added. Soon new terminals would replace the card catalogue. Students, it was hoped, would get a better feeling about the Media Center. Top right: Keeping notices posted is constant Job for Tammy Levy. Below: New magazines must be processed by Michelle Lum.
