DRIVERS ED. SHOP Sophomores grimace at view of morbid ‘Signal 30’ Driver’s Education is a familiar word to all would-be Reynolds’ drivers. Compulsory for a North Carolina license, the course strives to produce safe and defensive drivers for our public highways. After one is able to forego the first obstacle—that of con- fidence-—the basic fundamentals are easily conquered. Much patience and practice go into that small white card declaring one’s ability to drive a motor vehicle, but somehow it seems all worth it. Mr. Bob Cox, A.B. With a smile of encouragement and great confidence in his fellow man, Mr. Cox instructs Driver Education courses at Reynolds. He serves as assistant coach for football and head baseball coach.
