Class, policy changes widen students' horizons Begin, move, gain, activate ... all these are a type of change. Central underwent several important changes of this sort during the year. One of the biggest changes this year was the revamping of the history and govern- ment classes. A schedule of nine week courses was set up to allow a greater variety in course offerings. Each student was required to take only nine weeks of American history or government and then given a choice of three electives. The nine week course system was also adopted by the physical education depart- ment. Courses such as football, tennis and golf were offered. All P E classes became co-ed this year. Junior and senior girls could participate in classes also. Central changed to open campus this year. Because of a shortage of classroom space, only sophomores were assigned to study halls during free periods. No unexcus- ed absences were issued. Along with open campus came open lunch periods. As no one was required to eat lunch at school, this found many hungry Centralites at MacDonald's, Taco John's, and the new Arthur Treacher's Fish 'n Chips. The Blue and Gold took on a new shape as it changed from a straight newspaper to a magazine style. This more featurized style of writing offers a wider variety of news reporting. A Student Senate class was started this year. This provided the members with more time to work on projects and also gave them a background in governmental proceedings. A girls' intramural basketball team was set up this year. Also, girls were allowed to letter in athletics for the first time. Because of a small demand for the class, advanced German students had to take classes at Northern State College. A Cappella finally got new robes to perform in. The old robes were over 20 years old.
