i 1 ` ! t ۱ | ۱ New Driver Ed Set Up Called ‘Best in State’ This year Ames High acquired the most ex- tensive and up-to-date drivers’ education program in the state, according to Mr. Posegate, one of two new teachers for the course. The program had four divisions. The first of these was classroom study; students attended a two-hour Saturday morning session which consisted of movies, lec- tures, discussions, and tests over the text. They spent a total of 36 hours in the classroom in this one-semester course. Another phase was reaction to driving situations in the school's new simulator. The simulator, financed by a federal grant, was used by each student for 12 hours during the course. The driving range also was made possible by a federal grant and the driver's education staff felt that it was one of the best in the United States. On the range, students practiced skills that they would find most difficult in driving on the street. The blossoming drivers put these skills to use in the last phase of the program: they drove on the street with their instructors. Each student had four hours of driving on the street. Joining Mr. Posegate on the teaching staff were Mr. Mac- Bride and Mr. Heiberger. Copy and page layout by Rob Wilson. Jeff Herrick soon learned of the dangers of driving when he reacted to films in the new simulator.
