Drivers Education Promotes Better Driving . Mr. Lucien Hebert .. xv, 'k--e K ':.g.r ., hw A to 'mf' I t s ' J xro-Me Mr. Hebert shows a student how to park correctly. The main goal of Driver's Education is to train students to be safe, competent drivers. During the first six weeks of school, the students are acquainted with the principles of good driving through their class work in which the operation of the engine and defensive driving are stressed. When the class work is completed, each student has two weeks of actual driving under the competent supervision of Mr. Lucien Hebert. When the student completes this phase of the course, he is well equipped to face the many driving situations which he will encounter throughout life. Mr. Hebert stresses the importance of safety belts. Students receive last-minute instructions before getting into the car.
