DOYLE CHRISMAN B.S., M.S. Driver Education Realizing the importance of safe driving Denton High School offers a course in Driver Education and Safety Education to the beginning driver. The first semester of the year-long course is spent studying safety rules of the road and traffic problems. During their second semester each student learns the proper way to handle a car under the supervision of trained personnel. A local dealer furnishes the school with a dual-control car so that the instructor can take over if the neophyte driver gets into a traffic situation that he cannot handle. Students take both the written test and driving test from a highway patrolman. As a general rule graduates of this course have a far better safety record than those who learn to drive by the hit-or-miss process. Driver Training Instructor Doyle Chrisman points out the different parts of the car's engine to driving students. A good driver should know how to take care of his car as well as know how to drive it properly. 7 aifgijkv . f . lx

These lovely, Roman lassies P show how seriously the Denton High Latin students take their course. Several times during the year the Latin Department spon- sors a Roman party to which all the students come dressed as early Romans. Shown here are Kay Grafa, Marsha Miller, .lo- anne Macey fseatedl, and Sally Hannah. Latin Realizing the importance of Latin, the mother tongue of many different languages, approximately eighty Denton High students took Latin this year. This is the largest number to enroll for this course since it became an elective and not a required course. Perhaps the reason for this phenomenal growth in enrollment is the instructor, Mrs. Kay Hanley, who believes that Latin can be fun and has proven it to her many students. Well over half of our English words are derived directly or in- directly from Latin root words. This makes the study of the so- called Hdeadi' language all the more important in understanding English. xx X if YD if fi 1 , R l .. MRS. KAY HANLEY B.A., M.A.

,.,,.,.-F--1 L I mm s I iixii n va. W W si A Students are instructed as to the proper procedure to use in checking out books and magazines. They learn the use of the card catalog as well as where to find books on the shelves. Library One of the most important parts of a good high school is the Library. Here students can come to find reference material for all their other classes, good books for their leisure reading, and periodicals such as magazines, news- papers, and pamphlets. The Library subscribes to a wide selection of maga- zines which meet the need and reading interest of most of the high school students. It also subscribes to three daily newspapers. Current novels and non-fiction books are bought each year to keep the Library modern and up-to-date. Some of the teachers and students also donate books to the Library from their own personal library. Each contribu- tion or addition means that many more hours of en- joyable reading for some student.
