There was a new disciplinary program instated at San G. The program was called On Campus Suspension or OCS for short. The program was introduced by Vice Principal, Mrs. Brickley. The purpose of this new program was to eliminate truancies, tardiness, and the loitering on campus grounds during school hours. The program consisted of one teacher volunteering to remain in D -5 during his or her conference period. All students caught in the halls without a pass during class time were immediately taken to the suspension room. A first offense would usually only get the student there for a single period; a second offense two days, third of- fense a week; and so on. The OCS program was run with a firm hand. There was no room for explanations or leniency. The administrative branch was quite serious about this program. Students and teachers alike, soon found this out. The program was needed to replace the PASS program of last year. The PASS program was discontinued due to lack of funds and lack of effectiveness. The OCS program had been tried at other high schools in this area, such as San Bernardino High School. The program was no longer in effect at San Berdo High due to lack of effectiveness. Perhaps with the strict enforcement on the San G campus it might be a success. The program was expected to continue next year if the effectiveness was proven. Overall, the program was expected to be a suc- cess. Most teachers agreed that it was a necessary step for disciplinary problems. The administrative branch hoped that with the cooperation of students and teachers the program would continue with suc- cess and rid the school of its trouble makers.

San Gorgonio welcomes new principal Students returning to San Gorgonio for their second, third, or fourth years noticed many changes around campus. The reason for these changes was probably that there was a new principal, Mr. Philip Haley. Mr. Haley was not a newcomer to San G; he had been vice prin- cipal for five years here before being transferred to San Bernar- dino High, where he was vice principal and then to San Andreas to be principal. With surroundings so familiar to him, Mr. Haley felt that returning to San G is like returning home. Putting students as his number one priority, Mr. Haley had ideas to make the campus run smoothly; students would be in class and not running around or off campus truant, he would con- tinue to support and modify the curriculum so San G had the strongest instructional program in the city, he would provide a safe campus for all students, and instill a program of self pride among the student body so the campus would be attractive. Mr. Haley felt this would work because San G has an outstanding student body. He also commented that the staff was the finest in th e city and or county. Among his many achievements, Mr. Haley started a parent communication group to improve community relations between the parents and the school. He was also interested in working with other staff members in developing a plan for ninth and tenth grade students to improve their attendance. This would cut down on the number of transfers to Sierra High School. Mr. Haley commented that students were his number one priority, and this was evident by the many ways he set out to im- prove San G and the enthusiasm he displayed at his job.
