Above: Although this is routine for Ms. Patterson. Lisa Harpenau finds out that despite the nervous jitters, she really enjoys this part of class. Below: While doing the figure eight, some students find that it is not as easy to drive like Mario Andretti as they first thought. Teens Perfect their Driving Skills Starting to drive sounded exciting to most students, and when they signed up for Driver’s Training the enthusiasm culminated! However, after a few weeks of class, they found it was not all fun and games. Learning all of the rights and wrongs of the road was rather trying at times. Before getting behind the wheel, it was necessary to study the manual, textbook and simulator. Then after a few weeks of class, they started manuvering on the range and finally driving on the streets. Many were nervous as they reached the final step. Despite the close calls and the nerve racking experiences, the majority of students felt like veterans by the end of the semester. Below: Representatives from the license branch came in to check the eyesight of all future drivers. Julie Kleaving is in the process of taking the vision exam as Tim Davis and Sally Malone watch the procedure. DRIVERS TRAINING 27

Students Work to get their Bodies in Shape Eight . . . groan . . . nine . . . groan . . . ten . . . ahhh could be heard during the first ten min- utes of exercises. Then the class breaks into teams and plays one of many sports planned by the teachers. Part of each six weeks, the students splashed in the pool and perfected their swimming strokes. Although advanced P.E. was offered it had to be can- celled because there was not enough interest. One semester of Health and one semester of Alcohol and Narcotics is taken by most stu- dents. Besides learning about the body, the classes also discuss the effect of stress and abuse on the body. Left: Rounding third base and heading for home plate.

Discover While some music fans were lis- tening to “Blinded Me With Science” (Dolby), others were studying science though at times it may have seemed blindingly hard. However, they persisted through basic physical science and contin- ued on to split an atom or disect a frog. Freshman intending on majoring in science began with Physical the World Science in which the basics of inor- ganic science was taught. Biology is offered the sophomore year and most students take this class as their required one year of science. Students wishing to continue with Physical sciences move on to chem- istry, physics, advanced chemistry, or astronomy. Those who preferred life science moved on to Advanced Biology or Horticulture. Disecting a rat is not pleasant, but Mr. Varner helps make it bearable for G. Hoagland and L. Freeman. Above Right: Putting a bug collection together is challenging because many insects look so much alike. Diane Carter labels some of the specimans. Center Right: Concentrating on their Physics assignments are P. We- ber. S. Mills, C. Borders. J. Evrard, R. Walling, D. Goffinet, and L. Dreyling. Right: Making an experiment work in Chemistry is often very confus- ing. Sometimes it is necessary to repeat it more than once. Lori Ward and Laura Freeman are hoping to be successful on the first try. 28 SCIENCE
