Can't remember if drivers ed. was even offered at my school in the late 50s. In any case I didn't take it; I learned to drive on my dad's tractors and trucks, so getting my license at 16 was just a formality. Seems I did have to bone up on a training manual.
A friend of mine, a teacher, was teaching at a school in west Texas years ago, and being a coach, he drew the short straw on having to teach driver ed. One day he loaded up a few of his students and headed out to the desert for some hands-on training. When they reached a remote area out of harm's way he put a boy, the class doofus, behind the wheel. As they cruised along Carl spotted a rattlesnake sunning himself in the road ahead. He casually told Doofus, "Run over that snake."
However, the snake had other plans, and began to head out into the desert. Doofus dutifully veered off the highway, following the snake. Within seconds the car wheels were buried in sand 40 feet out in the scrub. Doofus excitedly turned to Carl and said, "Did I get him, Coach?"
They all had to walk back two or three miles to the school. For months Carl had to endure "Did he get him, Coach?" from his fellow teachers whenever he walked by.

The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
