Driver Education Develops Technical Skills Teaching the fundamentals of safe driving at Spingarn is the goal of this department, accord- ing to Mr. Gates and Mr. White, our two driver education instructors. After viewing safety films and mastering driving theory, the students are put behind the wheels of supervised vehicles to experience the feel of rush hour, traffic, careless pedestrians, and care- less drivers, who have not been so fortunate as to take driver education. Successful completion ofthecourse results indecreased rates for student drivers and numerous other benefits. Parking, traffic maneuvering and highway driving are especially stressed in this one semester course. There is usually no difficulty in passing the course, as most of the students enrolled are thoroughly interested. 3 W lll I gyggg I DISTANCE E353 Safety ranks first, as is visibly obvious in Mr. Gates' Driver Education class.
