A great deal of credit is deserved by the members who sacrifice before and after school time so that they may serve as future Honor Guards at our assem- blies. Another job which the members ofthe DRILL TEAM do and do well is acting as ushers at the Home and School Association meetings.

DRAFTING STANDARDS Approximately fifteen years ago the DRAFTING STANDARDS CLUB was organized in order to familiarize students with drafting techniques that exceed the scope of the high school course of study. Also, the club gathers together the numerous skills of drafting which become valuableto the drafting courses. Under the dynamic leadership of Mr. Carpenito many of our alumni go on to become draftsmen, technicians, and engineers. Students learn the complex na- ture of form, proportion, and structural relationships while seriously exploring new ways in which drafting may be re- lated to the business world. Obviously this activity is one of the most outstanding in the school. “Who said Israel was up here ?”’

DRIVER EDUCATION With an ever-increasing number of automobiles, trucks, and busses on our highways, it is obvious that the DRIVER EDUCATION Class is of the utmost importance to young people. Under the highly skilled direction of Mr. Gable, numerous members of the student body learn about the technical nature of the automobile. Moreover, the essen- tials of good driving such as courtesy, and the importance of proper attitudes are stressed. This background informa- tion, though highly theoretical, proves invaluable for stu- “HO, HO, HO. weeyou flunktls dents who are desirous of obtaining a driver’s license. Above all else, each member learns that safety pays, and that a trained driver is a good driver. First Row: Papapietro, Sheridan, Ketchen, Smith, Son, Lee, Chin, Fredricksen.
