Under the direction of J. Frank Shields, Herb Hipps, A. J. Simeon, and J. Don Meyers, students of HPHS learned safe driving prac- tices. The nine-weeks' course was divided into two periods. During the classroom phase, stu- dents learned the rules and regulations of the road and took tests to determine reaction, time, depth perception, steadiness, visual acu- ity, eye dominance, and glare and color vi- sion. During the under-the-wheel phase, stu- dents completed the required eighteen hours in the automobile. ln the dual control cars, they mastered smooth starting and stopping, turning, parking, backing, and driving - both in traffic and on the open road.

Industrial arts offer chance to create. The hands of this mechanical drawing student, Perry Auman, grow in skill as he enjoys the challenge of making an intricate drawing on special green paper. Students of HPHS who elected industrial arts courses gained knowledge and practical skill in designing, drawing, and building vari- ous articles of wood and metal. In mechanical drawing classes, students learned to make detailed working drawings, including blue prints and house plans. In wood shop courses, the boys made a variety of articles. Using hand and machine tools on rough oak, cedar, and walnut, they turned out prized results: cedar chests, ward- robes, and bedroom suites. The scream of a buzz saw punctuates the air as Bobby Dunlap works rough rasined boards into smooth, shin- ing table tops. 5564. F .

Service trays, ash trays, and lamp sta-nds were produced in the metal work snap by boys who had mastered the operation of welders, metal lathes, milling machines, and surface grinders, as well as metal casting procedures. Members of this metalworking class look on with ob- servant eyes as H. M. Daniel solos on the metal lathe.

Developing muscular skills and good sportsmanship, they engaged in both team and individual sports, as well as gymnastics. Under the direction of Miss Pat Hester, the girls played the team sports of basketball, volleyball, speedball, and softball, and the individual sports of track, handball, archery, ping-pong, badminton, shuffleboard, and ten- nis. Coaches A. J. Simeon and George Stavnit- ski executed a well-planned program designed to teach physical skills and to provide enjoy- ment of various sports. The program included the team sports of touch football, basketball, volleyball, and softball, plus the individual sports of track, wrestling, handball, and ten- nis. Boys' gym classes seem to enjoy basketball more than any other seasonal sport. Fun, sports, and sportsmanship :fill
