Marching off for the last time at WPHS
The picture shows the drumline marching off the field for the final time in 2011.
Thus ends 4 great years of marching band at Winter Park High School for Eric. Each year WPHS managed to make the Florida State competition and each year they made the finals and finished in the Top 5 statewide.
This year they came in fourth overall and first in our hearts. As always, they put in an extraordinary amount of effort starting at Summer band camp and culminating at the State Finals. This years Finals performance was amazing.

Popular Science 1948: Auto Safety
Archive Gallery: Automobile Safety Tips | Popular Science:
"The Seven Keys to Safety: March 1948
If this cover image doesn't terrify you into driving safely, we don't know what will. According to the illustrator, driving 30 miles and hour is as dangerous as driving on the roof of a building. To keep readers from suffering such terrible fates, writers Devon Francis and John F. Stearns recommended memorizing the seven keys to safety, which are as follows:
1. Learn to judge the conditions of the road and the drivers.
2. It isn't how fast you can go, it's how fast you can stop.
3. Keep one car length between you and the car in front of you for every 10 miles on your speedometer.
4. Suspect every pedestrian of suicide.
5. Every intersection is a crash point, so slow down.
6. Signal properly.
7. Expect the worst from the other car."
It would seem that by 1948 we had uncovered the universal truths of automobile safety. However, I don't think eating, texting, fiddling with 100's of radio channels or putting on makeup while driving had been invented yet.
