movies.

In Mrs. Bainbridge's classes pra-
ctice is the by-word. The juniors
still seem to be bit puzzled about
what all the shorthand symbols
mean; while the seniors main
trouble is getting back in the
swing. However, they will, with a
lot of practice and instruction, be
able to turn out a letter to please
even the most strict employer
Good luck to all you fellow stud
ents on the road to better bust

Last week a survey was taken
here at school as to the posibili
ties of having a driver training
course. The course is offered te
all students 16 years of age OF
cider and will be held during the
summer. Glasses will be two hours
in length and will run 900 tc
11:00 in the morning, 200 tc 4:0C
in the afternoon, and 600 to 800
in the evening. The standards OF
this course are, 36 hours OF class
room instructions, 18 hours in Cal
as observer learner, and 6 hours
actual driving.
Driver education comes under
the Division of Health, rhysicaI
Education and Safety in the State
Department of Education. The
purpose of such a course is
to promote safety on the highway
Also there are other personal ben
efits. For example, as many OF
you know, automobile insurance
is about 25 dollars per year high
er for drivers under 25 years oil
age. With a driver training course
completed, this extra insurance is
not charged. The main objective
is, of course, to make the student
more intelligent and sensible
driver.
