With more cars on the road and accident rates increasing, the driver education program’s objective—to teach teen- agers to drive correctly and carefully—has real meaning. Sheila Larson, Alma Devaughn, and Mrs. Wat son take a two-one posi- tion as Mrs. Watson shows the sixth period class how to line up in Avvdl ae! Body Develops Classroom sessions in the function of automobile parts, rules of the road, and the mechanics of driving are followed by actual behind-the-wheel experience. Built around a core of painting, drawing, and designing, art provides an outlet for creative talents. Several areas are open to the artistically-minded student—graphics, ceramics, sculpture, enameling, painting, and sketching. Art appreciation is deepened through study of the works of the Masters and enriched by trips to the Guggeheim, Metropolitan, and Modern Arts Museums where the students gain a real feeling and insight into art.
