The DRIVER EDUCATION Club has expanded greatly this year so that three faculty advisers now cooperate in giving the information and instruction essential to this voluntary course. Mr. Mistler, Mr. Broderick, and Mr. Gable are the capable instructors. The class learns not only technical information but also desirable attitudes. The members concentrate on the rules of the road, courtesy, safe driving, and the importance of correct driving habits. They also learn the first principles of maintenance of an automobile. Membership in this club proves worthwhile when a student seeks his driving license. The theoretical training and the intensive background instruction re- ceived in the club has thoroughly prepared the stu- dent so that he passes his examination successfully. Good preparation makes any examination easy.

Drafting Sendhil Second Row: Yee, Lastoria, Bertolino, Lyle, Kelley, Real, Kesselman, Willis. Front Row: Mr. Carpenito, Murray, Ginsberg, Gigliotti, Akeson, Spina, Comeau, Carcia, Ciampa. Every student is the architect of his own fortune Established in 1948 the DRAFTING STANDARDS Club is designed for students desiring to learn more about drafting techniques than is possible within the limited classroom time. Under the leadership of Mr. Carpenito, many complex problems in drafting are explored and solved. Boys gain an exceptional skill in the ability to make clear, complete, and accurate drawings. They learn to think in three dimensions, and to understand form, proportion, and structural relationships. The extra training gained proves in- valuable for those students who intend to pursue drafting as a career, or who hope to make drafting a major study in a technical college. Perched on their high stools in their spacious workshop the members of the drafting standards are a very quiet hard- working group. They certainly have a true per- spective of things in general, and of life in particular.

Front Row: Morehouse Latham. , Caron, Johnson, Interbartolo, The FORUM CLUB is the incubator of our young Daniel Websters. Under the guidance of Mr. Golden, four times a year, our spirited orators perform upon the stage of the Assembly Hall. The subjects included the Missile Gap Between the United States and Russia, Federal Aid to Education, the Space Age, and Socialized Medicine. The members of the Forum de- velop poise and self confidence through their ability to get up and speak in public. They help not only themselves but by their brilliant orations help the student body to understand the important issues of the day. Our young orators were always equal to the task and gained great applause for their intelligent and intellectual addresses. Mr. Gibbons makes clear the meaning of American democracy
