Homeroom Schedule ls Now Streamlined Of the many changes which We have seen this year the change in homeroom period is then most evident for it affects everyone. In past years, as the 8:15 bell signaled the begin- ning of another school day, all students could be found present and accounted for in their respective homerooms. Now, however, things are different. Horne- roorn period has been shifted and is being held between third and fourth period at 11:15. With shortened schedules in effect, it seems that this is the only time when all students are present. The homeroom period has also been short- ened to fifteen minutes. To listen to announce- ments, attend meetings and conduct such busi- ness as homeroom elections within this limited time keep both students and teachers well oc- cupiecl. To ease the homeroom rush, only student announcements and special school notices are heard over the public address system. Other daily announcements are mimeographed and circulated through homerooms. All l want is the facts, ma'a1n', was an expression used llC41l1t'11lly in student announcements such as Sara Stewart .md Bruce Partner are shown giving above.

Only time will tell whether or not this new plan will prove to be successful, and after is year,s trial AHS may undergo even further anges for the benefit of everyone. 3 E? e Burton twins partc p y T 1 t tl
