FOR OUR OWN GOOD Everything was good and well on paper, but when it came to the real test, the new and improved attendance policy was six pages ofrules to which none paid very much attention. More time was spent listening to the reading of the rules, the passing out of these rules and the reiteration time and time again until our minds were dulled. It was generally disliked by both students and teachers. Students had the distinct feeling of being confined to these boundaries for six and a half hours. To teachers it was fil- ling out endless forms and keeping close tabs on absences. Seniors, especially who liked to stay home or go out during school found themselves extremely restricted. The Board of Appeals was so far-fetched from our minds that when it came time to deal with it some of us weren't ready for the worst. Whether we were successful in our attempts with the Board and the policy, or we lost the bat- tle, we knew it was here to stay. Students Rust? Ryan, Rosa Phillips, Andre Wright and David Rouse wait in the all too amiliar LATE LINE. ,v 5 ,sl-'jf After all his absences, Craig Wheeler has to be present mentally and physically. Warden Bryson holds the files! 100

HfteHdaHC9 POHCY - - - Students' Views Iknow deep down inside that the new attendance policy is for my own good. I have the best attendance record this year that I have ever had. I do believe that as an 18 year old senior, I have enough common sence to be here when I am supposed to. I regret that I am not able to use my own descretion as to when I am here and when I am not! I think that the new attendance policy had merit, but that in its present form it will cause more confusion, than the effective results which it strives to achieve! just last night I had a dream in which I was absent too many times and thrown to the LIONS!!! I love it. I just wish it was a little more lenient on punishment. Pulling out the criminals hair by the roots after six absences is a little too much! It's crazy, and it's for our own good, but who wants a perfect school! What would we have to complain about? Are student council should be on the board's back about this acrimous and prison like treatment! It's a good thing, something had to be done!!! This school is taking away the student's responsibilities little by little, and this gives the student less preparation for the real world! I Love It! It's about time the rogues, peasants, cretins, and otherwise goof-offs in this school got a little punishment after year of leniency - it really made me sick! In my opinion, the whole attendance policy is ridiculously stupid. We're not supposed to be in jail, we're in school. And we're not little babies now!!! ner tries to keep up with the new fy, P You Yxeve ' If l. esc pe Fr m I ' ' ra, .III 11: .Q P 'Wil Cl o V my 3 QP A it 21211 , f 6 ,Q it I I iff W Y ft it V 101
