DRIVERS TRAINING Driver's training was first offered in Sheridan High School two years ago and since then has become one of the most popular subjects. Driving courtesy, safety rules, and highway laws are mastered besides the art of driving. After a few days of class instruction, the classes are given a chance to practice some of the fundamental movements in the training car. A trip to the Sheridan Motor Company is an essential, for each new class. After the first few weeks the students become more adept in handling an automobile and Mr. Stout, the patient and forbearing instructor, has hopes that they will become courteous, considerate, and skillful drivers.
