Driver Education Driver Education is . . . The time of day when you catch up on the sleep you lost the night before ... Running over your best friend in the parking lot . . . Driving down Lansdowne Avenue and seeing all the cars pulling over to the other lane . .. Go- ing through the red light in front of the police station . . . Knowing when you made a mistake. Physical Education Gym is ... Flunking in ninth, tenth, and eleventh grades and having it eight times a week in your senior year Having one can of deodorant for the whole class . . . Realizing that this course could stop an A student from graduating ... Paying your towel money and never taking a shower ... Coming out of the showers and find- ing out that you didn't pay your towel service . .. Taking a shower with your underwear on . .. Playing football with a bunch of girls who want to know if they hit a homerun. Health is . . . Knowing that the teacher knows less than you ... Finding out that you flunked a test on sex . .. laughing when a girl is called on to name the male reproductive system . .. finding out about things you've known since you were ten.

Music And Art Chorus is .. . Loving to sing, but you can’t! ... Learning to hold back laughter when some- one's voice cracks ... Singing bass when you're a soprano. Concert Choir is . . . Going to Romania and finding the coun- try in a state of national emer- gency when you get there, but having a great time getting to know the people. Band is ... Finding out that you don't know your left foot from your right foot .. . Like being in the Lawrence Welk Or- chestra ... Being the only one marching straight ahead after everyone else has done an about face . . . Marching, and freez- ing, and practicing, and still having fun. Art is . .. Finishing your clay pot after four weeks of work and dropping it before it gets grad- ed . . . Letting others see your thoughts ... Finding new ways of getting paste off of your fingers ... Getting ready to put the finishing touches on a poster and someone steps on it . . . When you think you've made a masterpiece, but you did the wrong assignment . . . Sit- ting on the chair you just spilled paint on ... Expressing your thoughts to the world . . . Be- ing creative and messy, but hav- ing to clean up afterwards.
