I graduated from a rural high school in 1967. Bus ride one way was 6 miles for me. Got kicked off twice in my four years there. First time a classmate behind me was poking me with something, I got tired of it, and as I turned and roundhoused him, old Ray looked up and saw me in the mirror. Slammed on the brakes and ordered me off right there, four miles from home. Hitched a ride on home with an old drunk who was stopped behind the bus. Second time, the same guy pulled the same trick, but I made sure Ray got him off too. We straightened it out right there on the side of the road, and I never had any problems with him again. We're still friends today, but he knows not to poke me with a sharp pencil. In 1967, the bus driver ruled the bus, no questions asked.
My daughter-in-law is a full time bus driver, her husband, (my son) is a sub. They seem to have more problems with smaller kids who are undisciplined in the home. She's able to resolve most problems, but not all. Her recent problem involved a kid who barked like a dog and bit people. He no longer rides her bus, and I heard that he's even attending a "special" school now. It's all about discipline. Somebody has to do it, and if it is put off long enough, it could likely end up being the sheriff, courts, and penal system. You don't have to beat a kids brains out to discipline him, but they need to know that you expect decent behavior. The modern bus driver has been removed from their role as a disciplinarian.

Beginning production in 1953, the WD45 had the same general look as the WD tractor which was produced earlier - but was much more powerful. This was due to the new 4-cylinder "Power Crater" gasoline engine with a 4 x 4-1/2 inch bore and stroke. Some people feel this was one of the most significant tractors offered by Allis-Chalmers in those days. Nothing in its weight or power class could match its performance. In 1954 they began offering the WD45 with the new "Snap-Coupler&quo
