LIBRARY CLUB This year our Library Club got many new members, 19 to be exact. The first thing we did was to vote for officiers. John Hustins became President, Hazel Hill was Vice-President, and Dorothy Van Tuyl, Secretary. We repaired many of our old books and tried in other ways to make the library more attractive. We got 236 new books which kept us quite busy shellacing, making and filing cards for them. Since we then decided we should have a little more fun in the club, we had a party and hope we have a few more. DRIVER TRAINING The second year of the Driver Training course was received as enthusiastically as a year ago by both the students and adults Twenty one students, ranging from the eighth grade to seniors, started the course, including six boys who already possessed junior operator's licenses The adult course had an enrollment of twenty, only slightly less than a year ago Mr Werneke conducted the adult course and Mr Ebers the student class After the usual trials of grinding the gears, stalling the motor slamming on the brakes, and jerky starts on the school parking lot, the students ventured out onto the highwa s around Lldred It seemed as if all pedestrians and other drivers took to the hills' when the driver trainlng car appeared, but in reality the car had become as accepted and unworthy of a passing glance as any other car on the road Finally, on a cold, rainy, sleety day in January the class took its road tests in Port Jervis with excellent results The Ford car was loaned to the school through the courtesy of the Narrowsburg Motor Sales Inc of which Walter 'Joe' Hankins 1 presldent The previous car was also provided by Mr Hankins and thanks are extended to him for making it possible to offer this worthwhile course in the Eldred Central School O ' 0 . 0 , O O .
