Royal Lions
Name all the makes of automobiles manufactured today in America.
Name the important moving parts in an automobile.
What cars have hydraulic brakes?
When was knee action introduced?
These and some 70 other sticklers must be answered by the boy who would join the Royal Lions Auto Club of Stockbridge, Mich. It exists because a country school near Stockbridge offered no course in automobiles and 13-year-old Pupil Harold Mayer wanted to know all about them. He founded the club three years ago, took it along with him to Stockbridge High School, where it now has 150 members. Beaming on this venture in self-education, high-school officials furnished a schoolroom for weekly meetings, appointed a faculty adviser. Automotive manufacturers send lecturers, catalogs, publicity handouts, occasionally lend an automobile. Most obliging has been the Oldsmobile plant in nearby Lansing. Last week the Royal Lions' president smashed a pop bottle on the radiator of the club's car-of-the-year: an Oldsmobile.
