GIRLS' PATROL This year the corridors of Ambridge High have been faithfully patrolled by twenty-one members of the Girls, Patrol. Mrs. Lazar, sponsor, was assisted by Captain Jeanne Petricko and Lieutenants Becky Stettler, Mary Brown, and Vera Prisiaz. The girls also ushered at the football games. Along with these duties this group promoted many social affairs. Their biggest undertaking, a Valentineis Day Formal, met with the approval of the student body. An initiation banquet followed their informal initiation. Later in the year, the girls met at a second banquet celebrat- ing a successful year. - -i A U T O D R I V I N G This year a course called Auto Driving was introduced into Ambridge, open to juniors and seniors only. Their schedule began with thirty-six hours of lecture work from textbooks. This was supplemented with movies on highway safety and with testing equipment. After dividing the classes into groups of fours, the fifty-five enrolled students spent the remainder of the year actual- ly driving. Mr. Chapala, auto driving instructor, took a special course on Highway Safety Driving from the A.A.A. in Bay City, Michigan. A.R.C.H. Snyder has been generous in donating a dual controlled Pontiac to be used in these classes. Such a course has been tried successfully in many states, but has had a slow start in this area. Aliquippa and Ambridge are the first schools in Beaver County to institute driving into their cur- riculum. Some schools offer one-half or one credit for this subject, and some require all students to take an auto driving course before graduation. attentive to oun wr-:Qtane -29.-
