DRIVERS ' EDUCATION The purpose of Drivers’ Education is: To equip the driver with the knowledge to be courteous, to show good sportsman¬ ship, and to be a safe driver. This year there are thirty-two pupils participating in Drivers’ Education. Each pupil must be sixteen years of age and must be equipped with a driver’s permit. In October a state highway patrolman, Mr. Green, showed us some slides of wrecks and answered what questions we had concerning driving. On Monday we have lectures given to us by Mr. Dilley. The class is divided into groups of four and the remainder of the week each group is taken in the car to practice driving. Our Drivers’ Training car is a 1949 Plymouth. —Judy McElroy Page Fifty-Two

BAND The Philo High School Band this year is once again under the direction of Wade B. Fair. Mr. Fair is a graduate of Northwestern University with Bach¬ elor of Music and Master of Music degrees. The band consists of 82 members. The band participated in all the home football games and several away ones. We also participated several other activities.

Stu¬ dents that are in this are: David Sawyers, Jo Ann Rittberger, Lynn Boetcher, Donna Mae Benedict, Jim Longshore, Connie Sherburn, Harold Gordon, and Tamera Summers. The purpose of this group is that if any member of the band has any new ideas he puts it into a suggestion box and this is brought before the group at one of their meetings. The band has been trying to raise money this year so they can buy new uniforms. The newly elected officers of our band are: President . Philip Dalton Vice President . Dick Swetnam Secretary . Connie Sherburn Treasurer . Chuck Baker Librarian . Sandra Pierce Several soloists and ensembles are preparing to enter the District Music Contest this spring and most of them hope to go on to state.
