Forum As a result of growing discussions on, and about the School regulations at present, and the possibility of new rules, Mr. Larsen announced that he would instigate Forum proceedings in the John Bell Chapel once each month. His goal was to rid the School of needless backroom discussions , and to let the students air their views about School policy and in- troduce suggestions as to how the policy could be changed to benefit all concerned. The open debate involved the Sixth Form, and masters were welcome to follow the proceedings as spectators. The first meeting was about the hair regulations and a proposed new system for boys in Grade Thirteen. Various ar- guments for longer hair were presented and the debate lasted for the entire session. Upon adjourning the Forum, Mr. Larsen stated that the hair question would be brought before a committee, comprised of representatives from each of the three grades, Mr. Dickens, Mr. Menzies, Mr. Smith, and Mr. Kenney, which would further investigate the problem and draft a formal submission for the Headmaster. Mr. Larsen also pointed out that the final decision was up to him, and that both bodies involved in drawing up the petitions were not decision -making bodies. Another Forum was held just before the end of the Winter Term and was primarily concerned with a proposed new system for Grade Thirteen. The proposed ' half-way house ' for the 13 ' s was dismissed as impractical at the present time. However, proposals of new freedoms for 13 ' s were considered and thrown open to the Floor for debate. At the conclusion of the session, Mr. Larsen assured those present that decisions on both questions would be made before the end of the Winter Term. On March 11 the Headmaster issued a statement to the School announcing that hair regulations would be relaxed. In talking further, he revealed that Grade Thirteen would have certain freedoms such as leave at any time, provided that they do not have commitments, cars on the campus, no lights out, a permanent position on the Unsupervized Study List. He added that these freedoms were privileges, not rights, and were set on condition that those using them would show a responsible attitude. In conclusion he said that these new regulations would be implemented next year.
