Some people were puzzled by this question. Some people thought that they were un- safe. They got this conclusion by think- ing about the fact if their car turned over and was about to blow up the seatbelt would jam and they wouldn ' t be able to get out. Others agreed that they were safe and went along with all of the sur- veys taken involving seatbelts. Ben Rhodes, senior, stated, 1 think everyone should wear them because they may save your life. Tina Thomas, sophomore, stated, I think that using your seatbelts should not actually be a law. If people think that their lives will be safer with them, then they should use them, but in a lot of cases I ' ve heard of people that might have been killed if they would have used them. If people don ' t think it ' s the safest way then they will take their lives in their own hands. When a poll at WHS was taken, as- king whether or not they wear their ■seatbelts 21 out of 74 people said yes, that is 28%; 44 out of 74 said no, 59%; and nine out of 74 said sometimes, 13%. Shirl Taylor, senior, stated, I feel safer when I wear my seatbelt. We never wore them when we were little kids and a lot of people are scared of being trap ped; however, I have no desire to be thrown through a windshield at 55 mph Seatbelts have been proven to save lives and so many people believe in wearing one. If you want to save your life, shouldn ' t you? «7

COURAGEOUS Courage takes a hold of all Driver ' s Ed students Mr. Brady, the Driver ' s Educa- tion teacher, had often been referred to as a man with nerves of steel. That must be true. It was quite obvious considering the fact that he was teaching five freshmen, 27 sophomores, and three juniors how to drive. Driver ' s Ed. didn ' t just include driving, the students took tests and Mr. Brady had them take a traffic survey. This traffic survey included the students to make a tally of how many times they saw a licensed driver disobey a traffic law. Kim Rhodes, sophomore, said, Barbee Faulconer scares me to death! The students not only got an education, they also developed friendships, or at least trust in each other ' s driving. Now, everyone had to believe that riding in a car with an unlicen- sed person had to involve some type of relationship. Vanessa Johnson, sopho- more, said, Heather ' s going to kill me! Many students took Driver ' s Ed. so they could be safe and experienced drivers. Many of them also took it for a reduction of insurance prices. The students drive in groups. These groups were arranged by age. The oldest people in the class were in the first group while the other students were in a study hall. This process rotated until all students have had their turn at the wheel and Mr. Brady ' s nerves! lomj Bailey, jophomoro. wc-cii«s ctosehy while l r b-oa poinrs oul tne moior. irioto t Lonc© 86 driver ' s education designed by stacy taylor Kwnny Noland and Tami Battey, sophomortis, took or while M ' Bfody demonsTfotes how lo check the cars woier Photo by Lance Ramsey IsT.i.

SOUND- — Many students expand their musical abilities Of all the elective classes of- fered at Warsaw High School, many students chose to enter the field of music. Many people thought that music was just an extra-curricular activity, but was a fine art. Every student needs a fine art in order to graduate. To be in music, a student could enter either vocally or in- strumentally. Vocally, there was girls ' glee and mixed chorus. In mixed chorus, students learned the staff of the scale, listened to music on a tape or record, and sang songs out of a book. Girls ' glee sang and listened to vari- ous types of music. Junior, Rachelle Hurst, who is in a vocal m usic class, commen- ted, I liked to learn about an- cient music and where it originated from. Some people wanted to dis- play musical talents by playing an instrument. The jazz band, better known as the Jazz Cats, gave the students the oppor- tunity to do so. The Jazz Cats consisted of three trumpets, two trombones, two flutes, one tuba, one baritone, one tenor sax, a piano and drums. They learned jazz pieces, they also learned to improvise, and attended many contests. Melanie Wallace, eighth grader, expressed, I liked the Jazz Cats because it gave me a great learning experience. These classes, vocal and in- strumental were taught by two of the most musically inclined teachers. They really made the music department expand in the last year. Their vast knowledge and help enabled the students to reach their summit in music. The Jazz Combo entertains the audience playing Santa Ciaus is Coming To Town.
