These agricul- tural classes cover the operation, care and maintenance of farm machinery: farm management problemsg farm productiong and the planning, selection and building of farm buildings. After school activities include working with crops and machinery and equipment. The boys also partici- pated in demonstration contests, judging teams, and individual agricultural projects. lo Roxanne Ognibene Roger White practices acetylene welding as one part of agriculture. l ln Driver Ed Pat Broderick displays an original project she developed showing traffic control. i AGRICULTURE MR. HARRY MERRELL, Vocational Agriculture, Future of America Adviser, Seventh Grade Co-Adviser HELP FOR THE HANDICAPPED Drivers who do not, or will not, under- stand our basic rules of the road and their purpose, are, indeed, handicapped. In Driver Education students learn the basic driving skills and their application. Twice a week they practice in-the-car instruction on village streets. Defensive driving and adverse road conditions and situations are stressed. Students learn the application of scientific devices such as seat belts in modern automobile safety. They become well acquainted with traffic laws and safety and most important, be- come responsible drivers through the development of a good driver attitude. Ann Seaman 27 Farmers
