In a mobile America, the car and its use play a strategic part. The Oxford Hills driver education program is designed to give the student a full un- derstanding of the automobile and its functions. The students meet with their instructor two periods a week. One period is spent in learning the rules and regulations of driving, and the other is spent on the road, driving with a skilled teacher. They learn not only how to operate the car, but also how to respect its potentially dangerous powers, when incorrectly handled. At the conclusion of the course, the students receive their permits, and are well on their way to being responsible citizens in an automotive society. Mr. Hacker, Mr, Kugell.

Mr. Gouin, Mrs. Danforth. A picture is worth a thousand words. Physical education is a non-academic course re- quired of all students. Among the numerous areas covered in this course are soccer, basketball, gym- nastics, softball, and baseball. The major objectives of the Physical Education Department are to promote physical fitness and to develop skills in various athletics, all of which will be very beneficial in later years. Personal pride and satisfaction can be gained through participation in sports. One also develops a knowledge of team sports and good sportsmanship. The appreciation of individual sports is increased through use of the new gymnasium.
