Sixteen 1 4 5 fiocia sciences CIQUQIOIQ afuolenfa, cifizena ila Good driving fundamentals are one of the first things drivers training classes learn. Students expertly practiced these fundamentals last spring and brought Cody the city championship for safe driving. Keeping abreast of modern social problems, social studies classes used textbook fundamentals in history and government as a basis for a rock- eting interest in world affairs. Courses in American history and civics put the principles of our democratic heritage to use in the study of the present day educational and political situation. World history students used foreign problems of the past to review similar problems the world faces today. And economic classes developed a keener sense of monetary values as they charted the course of recessional problems in our nation's economic crisis. Tomorrow's citizens must be careful drivers too. And drivers training students used the prob- lem of careless, unalert, or drunk drivers to learn and practice safe driving.
