The pupils, law enforcement officers from WCU, Highlands, Franklin and the National Park Service, also attended a half-day classroom session Tuesday morning where they heard Ralph Strothers lecture on traffic safety and defensive driving. On Tuesday afternoon the driving tests began, as officers negotiated the different obstacle courses in their department cruisers. Those officers who had to manhandle big Plymouth Fury II's were at a distinct disadvantage compared to those in the nimbler Chevy Novas, and many rubber cones bit the dust during the day. Officers Bennett, Bradley, Holder and McClure of the WCU Campus Police participated in the driving course, conducted at no cost to WCU. All recieved a special diploma for successful completion of the course.
