SHS teacher Mr. Lee extols driver training while seniors pose for the annual Blue and Gold Pictures. Mr. Eshleman shoots the senior portraits this week and editors Sue Johnson and Nancy Lehman lead the picture taking with schedules to be issued for the two day event.
Mr Lee, driver training teacher, discusses student driving skills and safety measures. He notes about half of the 60 students are boys, cites insurance rebates for male students, and mentions the shift to automatic transmissions. He highlights new road signs and urges continued improvement.
The student council in a special session votes to continue the Homecoming Parade tradition. Students will build floats with no faculty help, and the game will be against Kewanee. The Homecoming Queen will be announced at halftime followed by the field house dance. The GAA and Miss Moore organize the dance.
In the journalism room a shy unnamed worm seeks a fitting label. Students may enter by writing a suggested name and their own, dropping it in Mr Roley’s box to win two dollars and end the worm’s identity insecurity. Incognito signs off as Alexander the Great.
In a witty observation, the piece likens a teacher’s rigorous grading and strict standards to a hard pass defense, suggesting students face a challenging academic hurdle from educators.
