DRAMATICS The spots, the borders, and the bridge light the stage to fit action and setting. Drama has a Wealth of mater- ial. A play, a duet, or a dramatic in- terpretation can be found to fit every mood, place, or time. In its history, actors and playwrights have built a proscenium, or framework, for today's stage. Students of this field learn the technical phase and the acting and directing skills.

They are vital training for our society. A pleasant voice and man- ner of delivery, poise, self-confidence and a Well-groomed appearance are prereq- uisites to giving an acceptable speech, Formulation of ideas and their expression not only produce a good speech but lead the individual into the statistical, argu- mentative, and invigorating challenge of debate. The little green file boxes, hours of research, and the recognition of others' opinions set up the negative and affirma- tive cases for today's debate.

DRIVER EDUCATION The rusted iron in the ditch was once a car as sporty as the one you dream of: the boy they drag out somewhere every hour to cover and bury was as fine and smart and as loved as you. Mr. Henry Gregor Felsen describes candidly the view of Ameri- can highways today. Driver Education ex- poses its students to the principles for the operation of an automobile, safety, smooth traffic, and enjoyable driving. This training should develop intelligent and sportsman- like drivers. The surgeon, musician, and champion athlete reach the top by putting their skills into practice day after day. The skill and good judgment of a top-notch driv- er requires daily practice and good training. We could summarize the Driver Education course with this anachronism: Be gentle with your horses, boy, and get your wagon through.
