Let’s Cruise! All teenagers, at some point in their lives, felt the need to get behind the wheel of an automobile and drive. All their lives they sat in the passenger seat and they wanted to take control! Afterall, students had a definite need for a license and a car; they had places to go, people to meet, things to see! To get this object of their desire-a livencecctidents had to pass the (ugh) “dreaded driving test” given at the local registry. To get help to pass this exam, many Classical students sought out driving schools. Locally, students attended driving classes at Travis, Park, Winches- ter, and Springfield Auto Schools. At schools, students would attend both classroom and “‘on-the-road” classes. Students are required by the Registry of Motor Vehicles to complete a minimum of 30 hours of classroom instructions. Most students chose to attend classes held afterschool because this time was most convenient. These classes allowed students to receive their license at the age of 16% instead of 17. They also gave teenagers a pretty good break on the cost of their insurance. Most likely, no matter which driving school a Classical student attended, he or she was sure to know someone else also attending classes. This made the classes not quite as obligatory and a little more fun. Probably the worst part about learning to drive was getting be- hind the wheel for the first time. Those experimenting novices prayed that their friends would not catch them behind the wheel of that screeching and bucking car. And even worse, students didn’t want to be seen driving an auto school car! As Classical students always do, they survived the challenge of acquiring a license. And seen on the streets, for the very first time were Classical seniors on their way to proms, banquets, and parties!
