''Seventh period is for people who take semi- nary. This is not true but it is a part of it. Students who are released for seminary classes or religion classes during the day could make up their missed credit by taking a class dur- ing seventh period, if they would like, thus not endangering the re- quired number of credits needed for graduation or cause scheduling conflicts with required academic subjects. The optional seventh period class is held each day from 1 50 to 2 40 Most of the students left the school after sixth period, but approximate- ly 790 students remained for the op- tional seventh period Seventh peri- od was a convenient way to make up credits lost from failing classes in prior years For some this was the better alternative than night school. Students were able to take an extra elective during the day or dur- ing seventh period by scheduling for seven periods rather than six Others found seventh period classes a way to get ahead on their graduation credits to relieve the graduation re- quirement and time pressure de- mands of their upper classmen years Many were planning ahead to possibly clearing the way for work release during their senior years Teachers reported that for them, seventh period classes were much more pleasant because they were smaller than others during the day and most who came to class had real goals to fullfil by taking the class.

While many school will have to remodel to make the re- quired changes. Alta was able to have them included in the initial construction. Perhaps the first thing a student noticed about this specialized con- struction was the lavatories. Dou- ble-wide stalls with hand rails pro- vided wheel-chair access Also one lowered sink was constructed in each restroom. Wheel-chair students would find it easier to get around Alta than in many traditional schools. An eleva- tor provided access to second floor academic classes (also used exten- sively by students with broken legs from skiing or football injuries) Ramps were built entering the sunk- en Commons and media center areas. Doors to all rooms were wider to provide adequate entrance space for wheel-chairs And even the lowered drinking fountains which many students won- dered about, were built to acco- modate handicapped students With education's emphasis on main- streaming handicapped students into regular school programs, out building was ready to service all stu- dents Shane Chapman Dan Chidester Natai»e Chidester Stan Chidester Susan Choe Janae Christensen Ron Christensen 186 Sophomores
