Summary
The May 1957 Beaver Beacon announced a June driver course for Beaver Island high-school students using a dual-control car. Its June issue reported that Ed Sternberg was offering the three-week course with two dual-control cars, that it was required for high-school students before a permit or license, and that adults could attend. The May notice named Deputy Elston Pischner as a local examiner.
