CHS Students
Swarm To Get
Driving Class
A new state law raising the Tex
as driver’s automobile license eli
gibility age from 14 to 16 has
caused a surge among Consolidat
ed High School students to enroll
in the driver training courses, J,
D. Chaney, CHS driver education
teacher, said yestei’day.
More than three times the aver
age number of students who usu
ally take the course are taking it
this semester he said.
The reason, he explained, is that
a clause of the new ruling which
went into effect this year, states
that a driver may obtain his license
under the age of 16 provided he
has passed a driver training com’se
in a Texas public school.
Chaney said that before this
year, the course, which has been
taught every other semester, had
to solicit members and usually had
only 20-25 students. This semes
ter, however, 77 students are tak
ing it.
Four classes are being taught,
and plans are tentative to place it
on an every semester basis if the
present popularity continues, CHS
Principal E. P. Ozment said.
Chaney said that due to high en
rollment in the classes, many of
the students will have to do their
practice driving in the afternoon
after school and on Saturday.
“Insurance companies also rec
ognize the importance of training
young drivers correctly by making
automobile insurance interest rates
lower for anyone who has passed a
course in driver education,” Chaney
said.

Scouting Described
As ‘Wav of Life’
•i
Scouting is not just an organiza
tion, it is a way of life, Leonard
McPherson, scout executive for the
Arrowmoon District, told College
Station Kiwunians Tuesday
“Scouting can be defined as a
volunteer organization to serve
boys in virtually all the aspects of
life, no matter what their environ
ment, economic condition, race,
creed or color,” McPherson said.
The Arrowmoon District takes
in Brazos and Robertson Counties
and has 48 scouting units under it.
The units take in Cub Scouts, ages
8-11; Boy Scouts, ages 11-14, and
Explorer Scouts, ages 14 and above.
McPherson, said the Kiwanis
were the first group in the district
to sponsor all three types of units,
and that College Station had the
highest density of boys in scouting
in Arrowmoon District.
