thigh girl grade"
No ''Backseat Drivers"
A couple Of husband-and-
wife teams went through
separately, though, because
each driver had to go the
course alone. This evidently
pulled down a lot of mems
scores because their "back-
seat drivers" had to watch
from the sidelines.
The obstacle course was
thought up by the members
Of the Stormin' Suckers, the
first Catholic Youth 0rganiza-
ton auto club in the country
and one Of the few auto clubs
that has only teen members.
1--WE took the red rubber ball
obstacle from the truck road
co." says club President Mike
Fiorentino, IL, a st. Johns
College High School senior.
''In that one, the right wheels
have to 60 through three sets
of rubber balls without touch
ing. We got the idea of weav-
ing the car in and out of
boxes from horse rOdeos. The
rest we thought up ourselves,
such as backing up and pull
ing up to six-inch white lines
and to poles, and making cars
straddle a Zig-zag course of
sponges.
Why q Road-e-O
'Tt's a lot harder than you
think" said Steve Essen, a
Woodward senior, because
you can't see the line, expe-
cially when you back up.
Mike said the Stormin'
Stockers is the only club that
as Mike explains, the purpose
is to instruct members in the
operation and maintenance of
an automobile and to promote
safety and courtesy on the
road. The road-e-o promotes
road skill and safety and
does not require speed. Speed
ing, itself, is an offenSe that
puts a Stormin' StOcker out
of the club.
Lets face it," says ex-
President Charlie Walker, 10,
a freshman at MIC. "Boys
like cars. The minute they're
16, they 60 out and get a car,
and they don't know what to
do with it. The Stormin'
Suckers tries to teach them.
You don't have to have a IL
cense or a car to join our
club. And to teach boys about
a cars operation, we are re-
building an engine"
The boys work on the en-
CINE each week at their club
meeting, conduct their bust
ness and work out plans for
their yearly road-e-o.
Worth the Effort
And it is evident from the
road-e-o that engines and cars
and safe driving are not the
only things the boys are learn
ing. They're learning some
thing that a lot of men have
never learned. That is, not
letting a woman get the better
of them.

woman in her mid-2Os was

But how many can step on

Not many. Ask the StOrmin'

The public was invited, but
mostly teen-agers showed up.
They were tigers. They just
wouldn't quit. You could
drive the seven obstacle
course as many times as you
wanted to pay so cents, and
the teen-agers did it over and
over.
