Page Six High Lire January 14,1955 'iJl U- • Greensboro Senior Hiffh School has a drivers’ training course taught by Mr. Ernest Sewell shown here instructing one of his seven classes daily. The car used is equipped with dual controls to the extent of two clutches and two brakes. Classes last three weeks and are completely free except, of course, for the license fee. The course uses two cars during the year, a Ford and Chevrolet. When Senior is using one car, Dudley High School is using the other, and the two schools switch in the middle of the year. In enrolling for the class seniors take top priority with juniors and sophomores following. In addition to the regular driving skills, the students are taught safety rules and some thing of the mechanics of the car motor. Mexico Holiday Proves Experience For Junior “Mexico Bound” was what Peg gy Durham, junior, was saying before Christmas. Now she’s back, fascinated by all the sites she ex perienced seeing on her 17-day journey. Peggy, her grandmother, and uncle left Greensboro on December 17 and went to New Orleans where they stayed until the fol lowing Sunday. Peggy’s opinidn of New Orleans was “The place is very fantastic with its old build ings and unusual iron works.” Next they continued on west crossing Texas and reaching the Mexican border early Tuesday morning, December 21. “Going through customs and getting the necessary papers to travel in Mexi co proved very interesting,” re plied Peggy when asked about it. The first night in Mexico was spent in a hotel in Valles. The next day, continuing the trip, they went on to Mexico City. The long est stop of the voyage was spent there for three days. Christmas Day brought this to a close. “Christmas isn’t celebrated in Mexico as it is in tiie States. We saw a few Christmas trees and heard a few firecrackers, but their real celebration doesn’t come until January 6,” contends Peggy about Christmas there. Also proved interesting was the beach of Acapulco, “The Riviera of the Americas”, where they stayed long enough for Peggy to get sun tan to show she had been where the sun was shining. “We enjoyed this place more than any other place we went because it was so beautiful. It reminded us of a South Sea Island with its tropical plants—palm, coconut, banana, and other fruit trees,” relates Peg gy. Dickie Morgan Flies From Massachusetts To German Dweiling Sunday, January 9, a train left the Greensboro Terminal bound for Springfield, Massachusetts. Aboard this locomotive was one of GHS’s own students who will fly from Springfield across the seas to Frankfurt, Germany. Yes, the lucky person is none other than Richard Morgan, known around Senior as “Dickie”. Dickie’s father, Roy Morgan, for mer Greensboro city councilman, left a few days before his family to get a house lined up. Mrs. Mor- gon will fly over in approximately two weeks after necessary arrange ments have been made here at home. That left Dickie all alone to travel into th;s foreign ooi itry which will be -'Vs home until around the first of June. International Boy’s School, Ge neva, Switzerland, is where Dickie will secure an education for the remainder of the school year. It seems as though anyone would be thrilled with such an oppor tunity, but not Morgan. Says he, “I’d much rather stay at home and go to Senior, but I’ll be back in Greensboro this summer and return to the high school next, year.” Dickie has had experience with foreign life, especially the Japan ese way of living. He and his fami ly lived in Japan for over two'years where Dickie attended an army school. Open Every Night Until 9 SUMMIT SHOPPING CENTER Greensboro, N. C.
