Help To Educate Future Drivers Driver education helps students acquire the skills and attitudes necessary for sage and efficient operation of an automobile. The two phase driver education program consists of classroom instruction and the laboratory plan. The classroom phase teaches students about the personal and social problems of driving. The laboratory phase is 7h hours of practice driving instruction to teach the knowledge and attitudes necessary to safe driving and skills needed to operate a motor vehicle safely. The laboratory phase is taught only during the summer, but in the future it hopefully will be taught during the school year. This presents a problem for many sophomores and juniors because driver education is now mandatory for all youths under the age of 18 seeking a driver's license. Students who turned 16 during the school year have to wait until after they complete the laboratory plan in the summer before they can obtain their license. Last summer there were 17 cars and 3 in service. This summer there will be 30 cars because of the increase of enrollment of students. This year the students took a trip to the expressway by bus to study the four types of interchanges. There were also speakers that came to the classes to provide further information for the driver ed. students. r t.i QQ ...... 'itit ' t s r 'ir rri r he r . , -- .. f- . .f fr ..

Efficient Library Aid Student The library at Goodrich is among the finest to be found anywhere. The excellent staff is led by the ultra-efficient Miss Connelly. Not only do the library personnel maintain order and quiet, but they also can be a very helpful aid to a very perplexed student. The librarians are willing to spend a great deal of their time in order that the students may achieve a better understanding of the facilities available. ln past years, the library has added new equipment to further its capability oflending materials to the student body. This year, two microfilm recorders were purchased to protect back issues of periodicals at a touch-of-the-button pace. The Library is abundant in its inventory of books. Whether it be fact or fiction, old or new, the Goodrich library has the answer to every problem. Also available are periodicals, pamphlets, and audio visual materials for current events, history, georaphy, biographies or any- thing else the individual student might require. The library is, of course, a very popular place for the students to spend extra time studying, reading, and relaxing. There are also two conference rooms which are at the disposal of all the students for meeting and group studying. There la always a mood of tranquility because of the very quiet atmosphere strictly enforced by the staff. As one student put it You can't even hear a pin drop. The nicely carpeted floor no doubt prompted the remark. Ut even makes walking noiseless.j The library needless to say, is the center of study in the school, Whether its purpose is fully achieved is entirely up to the students. Without question, the students and faculty are extremely proud of their library. Above: Miss Connelly aids Gary Sharpe and Fred Negus in Ending periodicals.
