ito rials VALUE OF DRIVER EDUCATION Driver Education, the new course in our high school, is ot more value than people realize. Mr. O’Connor is the instructor and is a very nice teacher. The requirements of the course are that one must be fifteen years of age, and have thirty hours of classwork and six hours of actual driving. These are the state requirements. The instructor likes to get in more driving than is required, if possible. The state issues tests which are given for the permit before one can start the course. An eye test is also necessary. The permit which Mr. O’Connor gives, however, is good only while driving with him. If one is a license holder when he takes this course, he is required to have a permit just like the students without a license. Quizzes, which are given over the textbook, are standard tests furnished by the A.A.A. One important benefit of the course is that, if a boy completes the course, he get a deduction of 10? to 15? on his automobile insurance. I feel that it is money well spent and, if all schools continue to have driver education, 1 can’t help but believe that it will cut down our terrible tralfic record. All of these people that are killed, or perhaps crippled for life, have a right in this world just as much as you or I. I sincerely hope that this course will be continued at Woodstock High School, as I feel it benefits many students who wouldn’t have the opportunity to learn otherwise. Some families do not have cars and some young people would not care to leam to drive if the course were offered in school. I believe it should be a required subject. I hope many people will give this matter careful consideration. Geraldine Cushman HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL If you can finish high school, you should do it, because without going through school, there isn’t much that you can do to get ahead in life. The people who leave school before they graduate will find that the chances of their getting the job they have always wanted is very slim. To get the most out of high school, work hard, get along with people, and do the best you can. A high school diploma means a better all-round job, a better career, and a chance to advance in life. So stay in school, and get the most out of it. It will be better for you now, later, and always. Alan Farrington, ’59 SUCCESS Success, in a broad sense, means different things to different people. Per- haps it means the gaining of money or position. To a housewife, success may result from keeping a home neat, clean, comfortable, and happy. 5
