I don't recall a driver's ed program in high school, but that doesn't
mean there wasn't one. I do remember a rather forward-thinking sex ed
class and film in the 7th grade, taught by a nurse.

BTW ... the driver's ed that I attended was by a private instructor, not
through the Amity school system. I don't think they had it then.
The classroom instruction was somewhere in downtown New Haven.




My instructor was a guy with his own driver's ed business who happened
to be an old friend of my father. I had been driving for years at the
boat store and marina, in jeeps and trucks, all stick shifts. But you
had to have a certificate from a driver's ed guy to get a license at the
age of 16. I actually had never driven an automatic transmission car. I
was picked up by the instructor in a post war plymouth or dodge with
"fluid" drive for the DMV trip.
