Poteat Commends Students
For Driving Co-Operation
» :ar Mr. Routh:
I wrote you last fall in re-
rd to the disposition that I
vjould make in speeding cases
in and around the high school.
Ifcant to congratulate all of the
sfcdent drivers in the high
Khool and to express my ap-
Ifeciation for the excellent co-
^eration they have demon-
»ated in their driving.
4 During the school year I
have not had a single case in-
i living a high school student
larged with a speeding vio-
tion in and around the three
hools. I belive that we have
had only three cases against
aj high school student for
speeding in any school zone,
and this is a far superior record
to what adults have shown.
I am sure that Chief Calhoun
joins me in this expression of
appreciation to all the students
and I hope that each one of
them knows it.
With all good wishes, I am,
Yours very truly,
William M. Poteat
