More students enroll tor Driver Ed despite rdnge cut The complete driving range was cut nearly in half by the new gymnasium-auditorium complex. This, of course, limited the range exercises, but did not hurt the appeal of the class. There was always a long waitin line for Driver Ed g .

Volunteers work in medicol clinics Nlrs. Marion Gray, registered nurse, directed the health aid class in gaining medical knowledge in class and in work experience. Five girls did volunteer work at Tampa General Hospital, while others worked at various dental of- fices and veterinary clinics. Between class activities, such as taking temperatures and giving first aid treatment, the class went on field trips to Tampa General, a veterinary clinic, and the Health De- partment. Students gained additional information from talks given by a dietitian and a spokesman on mental re- tardation. Various rescue devices were shown in a unique demonstration given by members of the Fire Rescue Squad. 41 Judy Ricks finds that patient Kim Williams has normal blood pressure.
