Farago inspects a motor. Our Technical Department is located in a separate build- ing about a block away from the school proper. Its main objective is to give boys a working knowledge of some trade. Consequently, courses such as machine shop, wood- working, and drafting are included in the average Tech boy's program. Mechanical drawing is a popular Tech course, useful not only to boys in the technical school, but also to students planning to further their education. Of course the J. Zarick, Mr. Tedesco and R. Douglas confer on plans in me- chanical drawing.

Physical Education Virtually every Bristol High student has taken gym. These classes offer a welcome diversion from the day's routine and give everyone a chance to stretch his muscles. The purpose of this program is to help our students become physically fit. Many sports are taken up during the year, swimming probably being the best liked. Our physical education staff consists of pleasant, under- standing instructors with whom the students are all glad to work. Driver Education BHS offers a course in driving to those students preparing for a driver's license. It in- cludes both time spent in the classroom and a period of actual practice once a week. Its objective is to turn out drivers who are safe, reliable, and courteous. Driving is taught by instructors who are unbelievably patient and brave-they have to be. But seriously, all driving students really appreciate their instructors and they look forward to their weekly drive. Above: Seated left to right: Miss Ruth Lapp, Mr. M.
