41 Quarter curriculum set a record in scheduling Drivers Education as a regu- lar course during school hours. Class enrollment averaged 30 students, and each future driver completed six hours of behind-the-wheel instruction. Infamous films such as The Last Prom, Mechanized Death, and Wheels of Trajedy served to frighten students into safe driving. Along with the addition of new Driver's Ed classes in school came the ruling of the Attorney General that it was illegal to charge stu- dents for workbooks and lab fees. Although parents and students expected the ruling to pose a problem, the administration handled the situation with ease. The school board used emergency funds to cover the unex- pected expense. -Sonia Guerra fd at Y I rrgonlz Iighl lo drive

oaro' Braces for uarfer System Nelson ' XXXL Efforts to implement the quarter system occupied much of the administration'stime. Norman Fleeman newly hired principal dealt with student behav- ior. Serving as new vice-principal, Bob Thomas' duties included keep- ing track of text books and making morning announcements. Thomas' broadcast style incorporated the voice of the character Carlton the Doorman from the Rhoda series. Although the middle school did not have an official grand opening, parents and students were invited to an open house and fair. - Karen Beck . V 4 John Cannon May Ross f' J. T.
