E Dean Wilson The truly good driver not only knows how to operate a motor vehicle and follow traffic laws, but he also drives defensively, watching for unseen haz- ards that may lurk ahead and for other drivers who may imperil his lite by tail- ing to observe traffic laws. He also understands enough about the main- tenance and servicing of a car to keep it in good condition. Consequently, to produce good drivers a training program should in- clude instruction in all of these areas. Luckily for students at Pontiac Central, the driver education department, headed by Dean Wilson, has one ol the two best-rated programs in the state. ff I der' 'Chg som H: note We ft for s. all to lo lqls niet

New textbooks, as well as two new courses, Math 12 and Geo-Trig, were added this year. Geo-Trig, by the way, is a new idea for a general survey ot geometry and trigonometry, using the slide rule as a basis. An addition to the faculty was Forrest Milzow. From Madison Junior High School, Mr. Milzow is now teaching geometry and algebra. ln November, certain students represented PCH in the second annual Math Competition, held this year ot Pontiac Central. The competition consisted of three categories: oral, written and slide rule. With the help of instructors Stuart Choate, Eleanor Byrnes, and James Parker, the Chief math wizards again downed Northern, this year by 65.5 points. Special mention should be made ot the contributions of Mike VanGuiIder, Greg Gallagher, Albert Yee, Steve McKelvey, May Yee and Janet Smith.
