DRIVER EDUCATION A course in driver education was organized in September 1953. The aims of this course are to create a conscientious sense of social responsibility in drivers, to equip drivers with information and skills, and to reduce traffic emergencies and accidents to a minimum. Each student receives two theory and two driving classes per week for a total of eighteen weeks. A dual control car donated by Hoskin Chevrolet, Inc., is used. A special marked practice street is used for beginners. This is located on Mulberry Street in front of Crispin Field. There are statistics to prove that students who take the driver educa- tion program in high school have fifty percent less accidents than those who learn to drive otherwise.

EARL BLAKE, JR. ENGLISH The fundamental idea underlying the fact that all students are mem- bers of an English class during every year of their school life is to train each to speak, read, write, and listen to the English language in a way that will make him socially acceptable and vocationally efficient. A student's mastery of English should enable him to derive genuine pleasure from intellectual activity. Development in the use of language is a condition of the student's progress in all fields of learning.
