QLEFT TO RIIGHTJ Mrs. Bertha Oakley, Mary Jo Whiteside and Mr. Charles Siris. Driver Education Another first for Calipat High this year is training behind the wheel for aspiring drivers. Mr. Chas. B. Siris and Mrs. Bertha Oakley took the teacher's training for instructing Sopho-mores in the theory and prac- tice of driving a car safely and sanely. Chevrolet Dealers, Keith and Womack, of Brawley and the A.A.A. of Southern California are furnishing the 1951 Chevrolet with dual con- trols for the behind the wheel instruction. Enthusiastic boasting by Dr. Jerryl Jensen of Mrs. Kepley's County Staff gave the extra impetus needed to push the program out of the planning stage into reality. Mr. Cook, who has long advocated this type of driver training, happily accepted the keys to the new Chevrolet and gave his blessings to the instructors and their Sophomore charges. Next year, it is planned that all Imperial Valley High School Sopho- mores will receive behind the wheel driver instruction.
