DETE T10 ! Detention has been reestablished into the school system. The purpose for this decision was not to punish the students, but to discipline them. The system has helped in cutting down tardies and cuts, which have been so abundant in the past. Five campus aids were hired to partol the school to make sure all students were in their respective classes, and to maintain safety and security on cam- pus. The aids were assisted by stu- dent officials, who were assigned to collect attendance cards from every class, to minimize cutting The campus aids and the student officials were under the capable supervision of campus counselor, Mr. Lester Souza, who ensured discipline and safety for all on campus. The detention rule: l. Teachers are to counsel students for their first two unexcused tardies. They are to warn them that a third offense means a detention of a half hour after school. Parents are in- formed. Each tardy equals I0 min- utes. 2. All cuts are to be referred to the campus counselor. 3. If students rack up three more tardies, hefshe will serve another half hour of detention. 4. For students who serve more than two detentions for cutting and tar- dies, parent conferences will be called after which follow-up action will be determined. 5. If the student does not report for detention duty, at first the duty will be doubled, thereafter the student will be suspended. Welch il - . . T Vi .

What Do You Think About Detention? Lisa, 8th grader- Detention, a word that has the power of authority. I personally feel that detention for our school is good. Students will learn in due time that this rule is the thing that will give our school the iron hand that should have been there in the Hrst place. John A., a senior- 1 think it 's unfair, because there is not enough passing time, lunch is too short and pulling weeds is unreal I think the pun- ishment should be more school work and not farming. Roger, a sophomore- All right ifyou don 't get caught. lt's hectic to rush to class. Passing time is too short. lt should be a half hour. Mara, a 7th grader- I think it helps the school a lot. But the rule is too picking up strict. Only three tardies and you go on detention is not fair. Try and walk all the way across campus. John D., a senior- I like the idea of the new detention laws, because the school is getting bigger. More stu- dents need more discipline. But the passing time is too short and so is lunch. Us athletes need more time to eat two lunches. We need energy for freshman girl- I think detention is good. Since we had detention there hasn't been any major fights and no one walks around campus without a pass. Before, when people heard Kahuku , they think that we are people who always Hght and make trouble. Now the students have pride. Us athletes need time for two lunches. Jon, a junior- Pretty good. Its good for making people go to class. But the rule is too strict and should be thrown away. Holly, a 7th grader- lt helps the school a lot. lt makes the students go to class earlier and stops them from cutting class. lf they go to class ear- ly, they won 't miss anything impor- tant. Chiaki, a senior- Not bad. It makes students more responsible. But I think the lunch hour is too short. PARKS 8L RELAXATIONXAT KAHUKU HIGH SCHOOL
