Freshmen underwent thirty-five hours of driveris training instruction. This course prepared them for a role most of them will play in life, that of a driver. Mr. l,yle Christianson found Frederick Allan l.ewis' Only Yesterday, a valu- able outside text for juniors who are studying post Civil War history. lt was an interesting diversion from the normal text and helped to tie history to the daily lives of the student.
