Constable Wraight cheerfully talked talked with each student individually. Both would then go over carefully, his or her bike. Students bicycles were inspected for proper size, brakes, reflectors and all important safety features. A fprm was checked checked off accordingly by the Officer and each student was able to take it home to cover with parents. After these important preliminaries, students headed on to the obstacle course to lest their agility on their vehicles. Motivated moms were there ready and willing to coach each' through the course, tallying up scores for'each on performance on the bicycle safety sheets. Thanks moms! - Lonna Brobbel, Martha Gibson, Carolyn Hale, Susan Barton, Barton, Marie McLean, Jackie Higgins, Higgins, Susan Armstrong^ and teacher's assistant Miss Hache, from all the students and teachers.
