Driver Education Taught For First Time Driver education, which was offered last fall for the first time in Ottawa high school, was one of the most popular course during the year. Taught by Larry Marsh, a new instructor at O. H. S., the course gave the student an understanding of the mechanics of a car, a knowledge of traffic laws, and sufficient driving ex- perience to enable him to drive under ordinary condi- tions. After completing the course the students were eligible for a state driver's license without further ex- amination by the Highway Patrol. Others new instructors in the high school included Miss Mardell Bell, comrnerceg Charles Barnes, social scienceg James Clark, seventh grade mathematics and junior high coach: and Paul Perkins, auto mechanics.
