Project PASS met twice a week for individual study and guid- ance. Jeff Egeland receives advice from Mr. Norem. AG S re D | ace ٤ یف‎ e MS f Meeting in every corner of the school, faculty advisory groups assembled daily to carry on regular homeroom activities. Every professional —including Dr. Farrar and the nurse—had a group of 12 to 18 students. On Thursdays two of these groups met together to discuss Student Council minutes. For seniors open campus became a reality. “Open campus was a further step to prepare seniors for the lax college atmosphere on studying and use of free time,” commented Mr. William C. Ripp, guidance director. Juniors and sophomores were allowed to leave the last two periods. Seniors could leave after third period. Many students found themselves missing a lunch period. To allow for a shorter day, lunch was scheduled during one of the eight class periods. Therefore students had to plan their schedules around lunch. With open campus for seniors the need for a senior lounge decreased. The area became a structured learning center (SLC) for sophomores. Parents and staff felt an adjust- ment period was needed for high school. Students reported to have attendance taken and were permitted to leave if they had passes. Miss Mary McNally, guidance counselor, advises Junior Kathy Schlunz on college requirement. Guidance 23

Mini-courses, trials, political activity, govern- ment options, independent study, two new courses and a new IMC kept the Social Studies Department busy through the year. The two new courses were International Relations and Project PASS. IR is a class in which students, through war games and research papers, learn about the policies of the United States. Project PASS is a program to in- volve students who find school dull or boring by relating all subjects. Both the Democratic and Republican parties had student organizations. The political activity was topped off with an election, in which the students voted. Richard Nixon defeated George McGovern 237 to 183. Independent Study enabled Mark Allen to scan politics. a zi am Kier. ` Ld نیت‎ Project PASS attempts to get everyone involved from teachers to parents Magazines from the IMC kept to students.
