ROBERT NORTON Cornell University Driver Education instructs the students in the basic fundamentals of being a well educated and alert driver. lt is the job of our driving instruc- tor, Mr. Lounsbury, to plant good driving procedures and habits in the minds of the young drivers. Because of the ever increasing statistics of teenage accidents, this is a very serious and important part of our school curriculum. lt is felt by the state that the Driver Education Program brings to the young driver a knowledge of the correct rules of the road.
