Not only does this program teach the basic skills needed in driving, but it also gives valuable information about the engine, helps drivers to under- stand traffic regulations, establish- es good driving habits, and de- -elops the proper attitude toward traffic responsibilities. Mr. Fisher courageously guided his pupils through many harrow- ing experiences, but fortunately came through unscathed except for weak knees and chewed finger- nails.

Bottom right— Mr. Crum teaches agriculture students Bill Carmen, Al Bard, Jim Rainwater, and Harry Sum- ney how ta test sail. The hour a day spent in shop class is well used. The first half of the period is devoted to information about work procedures. The re- maining portion is spent in completing projects such as making book cases, learning to weld with acetylene torches, and working with steel and wood on lathes. Mechanical drawing students learn the basic fundamentals of drawing and how to use the tools of the trade. The students also make minia- ture model homes exact in proportions down to the last plank and beam.
