January 1987 drivers education students at Ada High School will be viewing up-to-date video films during their classroom time, compliments of Cole Motor Sales in Ada and Ford Motor Company. Tom Dearth and Robert Heinfeld teach drivers ed classes in the school’s classroom as well as in the car. The Ada School is fortunate in the fact that Cole Motor Sales furnishes a driver’s education car to the school free of charge. Ada is one of the few schools in the state that still receives a “courtesy car.”
