Bus Driving: A Difficult and Rewarding job The Bus Drivers were once again able to keep a perfect record with only a few bumps, bruises, and crashes. How would you like to take on a bus load of 75 scream ing, crying, yelling kids? Not too easy, huh? With about 41 bus drivers, 119 regulars, and 22 substitutesl Mr. Carroll, the fearless lead- er, had trouble keeping the time sheets straight. But with help of his private secre- tary, Lissa Smith, he made it through another year only slightly hysterical y. The Bus Drivers not only took kids to and from school, they also took the Elementary students to the Art Festival and to hear the Greensboro S mphony. They also carted cllasses on field trips every where from Chapel Hill to Winston Salem. Soon the drivers proved that buses weren't the only things they could drive - basketball held a close second, as on April 6, 1972, the Bus Drivers played the Faculty in a game of Donkey Basketball. It's funny, but the next day many were sitting on pillows on the bus seats-I wonder why Kneeling: Roger Miller, Steve Payne, Terry McEl- fresh, Bill Bunn, Terry Cal- Lissa Smith, Marsha Smith, and Mike Bergman enjoy a coke break with Mr. Carroll after a hard bus load.

If not, ie will end up taking thi? course after school in the a . After completing thirty hours of classroom training, listening to gruesome stories and watching films that feature talking gasoline drops, the stu- dent must settle back to wait for his turn behind the wheel. The eighteen hours on the road are excitin for most young drivers tangfor anyone else who happens to be on the road when they arell.
