■iHiiiinmiiiK' ip February 14,1950 High Life Driving Course Is Offered to Students Page Heven Driving courses are offered for a six-weeks period to students who want to 'learn to drive. The main purpose of this course ds to reduce careless and reckless driving among teen-agers. There are four classes of girls and two classes of boys. The students were chosen by A. P. Routh on the basis of good citizenship. The Driving Course is sponsored by the Junior Chamber of Com merce. A 1950 Ford was donated by Ingram Motor Co. and the gas by Sonny Oil Co. The Police De partment provided the teachers, Lieutenant Dixon and lieutenant Wooters. The apparatus used in learning was donated by the Greens boro Kiwanis Club. The students will spend one week in the class room and five weeks in the car. During the first week they will receive information about signals and road signs. They are also given tests to determine their eye strength and Cheir judgment of distance. Former D. E. President Stationed In Pearl Harbor Bob DeVane, 1947-48 president of the Greensboro Club and also pres ident of the Easitern District, is now stationed with the Navy at Pearl Harbor. He often writes to the Greensboro “DE-ers” about the Distributive Education department in the pub lic schools in Honolulu. Prom his descriptions and the newspaper clip pings he has sent, it seems that the work there paralells our courses in the United States. It may interest other D. E. Clubs to share Bob’s letter to his own club. November 28, 1949. “Dear Club Members, ‘You, as members of the D. E. club of Greensboro Senior High School, are very fortunate to have this opportunity (to study Retail Salesmanship under the supervision of Greensboro Public Schools. You are also very fortunate to have with you one of the best, if not the best, D. E. co-.ordinators in the busi ness. Mrs. Finch wasn’t with the Senior High D. E. Club when I entered it, but I am very glad to say that she took the position be fore I left it. As you know, she is also a leading figure in the busi ness world. "Your textbooks, notebooks, book lets, and all other D. E. material Shown above are members of one of the newly-formed driving classes. They are picture taking a “visual acuity test.” This is a test which determines the judgment of distances. From left to right, they are: Lt. H. L. Wooters, a member of the Greensboro Police Department, Margaret Adams, Jeanette Hester, Carol Highdll, and Merle Cates. MUSIC NOTES By SHIRLEY LEONARD All three divisions of the Music Department have “big doin’s” going on. The orchestra, having sent a delegation of twenty-four of its mem bers to Charlotte for the All-State Orchestra, February 3 and 4, is planning to make a trip to St. Louis, Missouri, March 18-23. The people who will go to St. Louis are to be selected from the All-State group. The choir has been invited to Greens boro College to have lunch and to sing for the students. The male members of the choir are looking forward to this visit, judging from the sheepish looks, shy grins, and expectant smiles. In previous years the boys were made to feel quite at home, even if G. C. is a girls’ school. The band, now working on contest music and the forthcoming chapel program, has been tumbling the walls of Jericho down (musically, of course). Rubinoff, the famous violinist, apd his sister, Sylvia, received top bill ing at Aycock auditorium along with the comic-pianist, Oscar Levant, this past week. Both of these programs were well worth the standing room and the price of tickets. you can find are very important to you as Jibe future businessmen and women of Greensboro. I, a member of Uncle Sam’s Navy, will surely use the knowledge I acquired during the two year membership when I again become a civilian. That knowledge is more precious to me than the high school diploma itself. “Each and every day in your D. E. classroom will help you that much more on the job and to success. Most of the present businessmen of Greensboro are very much in favor of the D. E. program. You, as members, should do your work at your best to keep these business men in favor of the program. If you fall down in your work, the businessmen (your bosses) are sure to lose interest in the D.E. program. “Wishing you all the success and a merry Christmas season. Bob De Vane” Lackadaisical junior: “I.et’s cut economics today.” Studious junior: “Can’t. I need the sleep.” ■llltilllllllllllHIIIIIBIinilllHOnmillHIIIIIilimillHIillHIIHlIlHIIBIIIIII Peat Moss Bone Meal Complete Stocks of GARDEN and FLOWER SEED SCOTT SEED COMPANY Purity Brand Seeds 235 North Greene St. Telephone 3-2554 Matrimonial Fever Strikes Senior High Mrs. Margaret Finch, coordinator in Greensboro, is beginning to be lieve that she has missed her call ing in life and should begin imme diately to prepare herself as an under-study for Dorothy Dix.
