Show Students Urged Not To Drive Family Cars To School ..... With the starting of school many young boys and girls but especially boys try to pressure their parents into buying them a car to drive to school or to' arrange for the family car to come to school in. All this is unnecessary unneces-sary the school districts furnish fur-nish ample and adequate transportation for all students. stu-dents. Days of special activties, such as ball games, track meets, music festivals, the student still has no need to bring a car to school his needs are still met by the bus transportation. Other difficulties arising out of student driven cars are: Some of the students do not have drivers licenses. The availability of the car to the student provides tempta tion to leave school or the community during school hours to go to other schools to become a nuisance. We are asking parents not to allow their boys and girls permission to leave school to attend activities in other towns or schools. If the school officials permit it, an announcement an-nouncement will be made to students and transportation provided. Difficulty often arises when boys and girls appear in school with a car and their friends ready to leave at noon or other time during the day for some unapproved activity. ac-tivity. Let's please co-operate with your school district and your local school officials to make for better attendance at school. Do what you can to avoid teen-age delinquency, truancy from school, teenage teen-age parties on the highway, and save money in the family budget. "Doman F. Hutchings, Principal, Union High School |
