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.

ENGLISH Edgar Allen Poe, Carl Sandburg, William Faulkner, and Benet's Iohn Brown are the pio- neers that roll across the American literary plains and inspire the wilderness of a young mind. As juniors explore our literary heritage, they come to appreciate and understand the many great American authors and poets. Grammar and effec- tive communication become the guides that direct the student into the vast territory of American liter- ature. Bridging the Atlantic and providing a varia- tion is Shakespeare and his England, as juniors study Hamlet and seniors, 1VIacBeth. As the senior inspects and analyzes Anglo-Saxon traditions, he also gains a better View of a college course. Milton, T. S. Eliot, Hardy, and Iohnson create a com- monwealth ot literary enjoyment. The homestead of American heritage and England's kingly tra- dition are entrenched by outside reading and vo- cabulary study.
