DRIVER EDUCATION Driver Education classes at Tolman are of great benefit to students interested in self-preservation on our nation’s highways. Initial driving theory is demonstrated when students nervously feel the awe- some power of General Motor trouble beneath their fingers. Mr. Louis Najjar, Tolman’s driving instructor, is patient and understanding, “No one is perfect” seems to be his motto. This course is valuable in introducing students to safe driving habits and in making Rhode Island a safer place in which to drive. Mr. Najjar, where’s the crank? Wait until she finds there’s no gas. This is no way to go to the Chef!

MECHANICAL DRAWING That’s the dream house I’ve always wanted! The ability of an architect or designer to quickly and accurately transmit technical information through the preparation and interpretation of drawing is vital to the development of. our high standards of production and consumption. Under the supervision of Mr. Frederick Warburton, stu- dents are given experience and knowledge in me- chanical drawing. These drawings give exact details together with accurate measurements, and provide the builder or manufacturer with the exact descrip- tion that he needs to build whatever the designer has in mind. I’ll bet this ruler is crooked, How many times must I tell you to use a T-square?

HOME ECONOMICS Happy homes are in great demand today. Tolman’s Home Economics Department under the direction of Misses Virginia Genua and Mabel McCabe has helped young girls develop skills vital for the establishment of efficient, happy households. Many of the most attractive dresses seen in the halls of Tolman were cre- ated in rooms 406 and 407 at an extremely reasonable price. We are luckf to have a de- partment in which practicality, beauty, and creativity are united in the art of dressmaking. Next time try to do it without sewing your lingers together. It didn't look like that on me! JoAnn, I think it’s a little long????
