The ignition key is slowly turned, all eyes are found to be riveted to the area of a supposedly frightened driver education teacher. At once the student becomes master of a two ton mass-produced sculpture of cam shafts, pistons, gears, and an elaborately organic transmission. The accelerator is pressed, and youthful infatuation with power is released. The automobile response is immediate. For every human action there is reaction. A new independence surges and a pseudo- adult jaunts down the freeway. The thrill of the automobile is not difficult to understand. It is analyzed and recounted in endless bull sessions and countless paid-for custom magazines. Phil Weber adjusts the mirror on his cycle.

I congratulate . . . this great high school for the fine interest in auto safety. . . M. E. Sensenbrenner Mayor of Columbus I congratulate all students, faculty, and friends of this great high school for the fine interest in auto safety at Whetstone High School, and for winning its first-in- the-nation award. With these words, Columbus Mayor M. E. Sensenbrenner lauded Whetstone High School Safety Council for its unusual activities. In recognition of their actions, the National Commission on Safety Education honored the Safety Council with a special award which was presented Sep- tember 29 in an all-school assem- bly. The national award was earned as a result of Whetstone's efforts in obtaining better traffic control near the school during the 1965-66 school year. Steve Wenger, president of the 1966-67 Safety Council, presented Mayor Sensenbrenner with a plaque in appreciation of his as- sistance in securing a traffic light at Olentangy Boulevard and Hen- derson Road. Other activities of Safety Coun- cil include providing maps to away games, supervising the salting of icy streets near the school, sending delegates to attend the State Safety Convention, and present- ing a monthly safety award to the student who demonstrates safety consciousness and courtesy to other drivers. - Q 1 f l l' 'ix - , :-r-ff' Safety Council sent a sizeable delegation to the State Convention this year.
