Industrial Arts Program Reinstated All is no longer quiet in the Shell Hart- ley Shop Building! Believing that education is for the total personality—not for the mind alone—the Board of Education this year returned the shop program to the curriculum. Boys enrolled in Shop I and Shop II learn to use such tools as electric drills, lathes, and power saws. They make scale drawings and build wood projects. In order to make the best use of the facilities in the shop building, Mr. Fannin also teaches eighth and ninth grade boys who come over in a bus from Val- dosta Junior High School. Pencil and ruler are the tools of shop students Kenny Crago, Wayne Montgomery, Richard Rykard, Clay Freeman, and Calvin Hamby as they learn the art of mechanical drawing under Mr. E. J. Fannin, center. MR. ESTILL J. FANNIN B.S., Morehead State College, industrial arts, agricul- ture. Teaches: Woodwork, drawing. Juniors Joe Rogers, Charles Holtzclaw, and R. S.

Driver Education Stresses Safety Nothing pleases a high school student more than his first driver's license. And nothing is more important than his learn- ing the safe handling of a car. Combining rules and regulations of driving with experience behind the wheel, the VHS driver education course prepares novice drivers for safe and sane handling of automobiles. Students learn proper care of cars and good driving habits such as yielding right of way, observing safety zones, and obeying traffic signs. During the last weeks of the course, driver's ed. students chauffeur Coach Wil- son to various places in and around Val- dosta. To provide an opportunity for the maximum number of students to have this training, driver education is a one- semester course. Coach Wilson points out the carelessness of some teenage drivers. MR. JOE H. WILSON B.S., Valdosta State College, business administration, education; University of Georgia; Cammeron Junior College; South Georgia Junior College, teaches- Driver education. Sophomores Laura Lynn McCorkle, Charles Joyner, and Tommy Southwell tensely prepare to take their first lesson behind the wheel. 29
