Driving Abilit Developed By In truction Hmm, I wonder what great. lesson I will learn today, pon- ders Greg Busch before entering the driver training car. The Drivcr's Education course at Arlington con- sists of several phases or parts: classroom, behind- the-wheel, and simulator. Any student who is sixteen years old is eligible to take the Driver-'s Education course, however, ju- niors and seniors have priority over underclassmen. The first phase of the Driver's Education pro- gram is the Classroom part which students take dur- ing their sophomore year. Students must have class- room before they are eligible to take behind-the- wheel. This year the sophomores began classroom Driver's Education in March, and it lasted for six weeks. During this time the student becomes more familiar with the automobile and how it functions. Once a year a state trooper comes in to speak to the class, and there are usually a few other speakers during the course. The students are shown a series of films, and they are made aware of how important it is to be a careful driver. After a student passes the classroom phase he may sign up for behind-the-wheel. In this course the student actually drives the car under the supervi- sion and guidance of an instructor. Everyone is re- quired to have fat least six hours behind-the-wheel. The simulator is sometimes used in place of three hours of actual driving. Driving is a technique that must be carefully taught and mastered by everyone. Students receive experience and learn techniques of good driving by solving problems the driver simulator provides 21

This year the English Department was plac- ed in the experienced and capable hands of Miss Leonhard. Study was not merely confined to literature and grammar hut to the practical application of both. Persuasive Speech was an advanced course for those primarily interested in debate. The student mastered skills that helped him speak intelligently and per- suasiyely. In addition to the semester of speech dur' ing the sophomore year, an advanced course in speech was ol'l'ered for those in junior and senior years. This course gave students more background in all areas of speech. Many concise speeches were re- quired throughout the school year. Play Production was offered to juniors and seniors this year. This course helped interested students appreciate the art ol' the theater. Drama was also offered to upper- classmen. The aspects of acting, literature, and production were included. An important, part. of the drama study was working on school plays. Journa- lism I included the theory of journalism and actual work on producing a newspaper. Journalism II was offered to seniors. It was primarily for the editors ol' the newspaper. Many different courses were open to students i11 Arlington High School.
