The New High School Building The town of Stonington will soon be pro- vided with a combined gymnasium and audi- torium which will furnish adequate space for important athletic and non-athletic events. The new building will also provide additional classrooms for the large increase in school enrollment. The first unit to be built will include a gymnasium, industrial arts ship and two classrooms. In this building will take place all impor- tant school events such as graduation, class plays, prize speaking, and debates. For bas- ketball games and the many other events there will be seating capacity for 400-500 people. This will approximate the capacity of the gymnasium at Blue Hill. There will be two classrooms, that will re- lieve that crowding of students, which is growing more and more apparent in the pres- ent school. There will also be a room for home economics sometime in the future. Our new school will be built close to the present one so that the two can be used as a single school unit. One of the outstanding values of the new gym and auditorium is that they will be used by alumni and adults as well as young people of grade school and high school age. The building will be of wood frame con- struction, and the gym will have curved walls as they are the most economical to build. I Marie Robbins '52 Driver Education Knowing that driving habits which are formed by teenagers are carried over into later life, Stonington High School obtained a new dual-control, two-door Ford sedan, com- plete with all accessories, before the opening of school in September, from the Pittsfield Motor Sales Company. The arrangement was made possible through the courtesy of Eaton Brothers, garage in Deer Isle, through whose kindness we acquired the car without charge. The only expense to the school for the entire ccirrse has been gasoline, oil. grease jobs, in- srrance, textbooks, and tests. At the beginning of a course in driver edu- cation, all pupils are given a complete phys- ical examination. Not only are the students taught how to drive a car properly, but they also learn how to operate an auto in tight situations, what the rules of the road are, and a fairly thorough idea of how a car is made. Initruction is given also in the layout con- striction cf roads, pupils must be familiar with the Uniform Vehicle Code. Tyventy-one students enrolled for the course during the first semester, of whom three already had licenses. At the end of the course, eleven students took the final test and all passed it. It should be noted that the tests given were more searching than the state re- quirements. The road tests were given on january 16, 1950, by Mr. Pray, the state ex- aminer from Ellsworth. In order to be licensed to teach the course, Mr. Blaine Lymburner took, during the sum- mer of 1949, an intensive workshop course in Driver Education, provided by the Univer- sity of Maine. The course is approved by the American Automobile Association and the State Department of Education. The aim and purpose of the course is not to make more drivers, but to make better and more capable ones. Donald MacKay '52
