I feel it has a lot of merit. It might help us resolve the bus problem and meet state accreditation. It also resolves most study hall problems. - Mrs. Barbara Sorenson lt's fine - it's worked out real fine. - Mrs. Virginia Guthrie -Q.-nk jg . 3 I I I ww! I'm in favor of it in high school. Kids are in school too long. There is no reason for kids to go to school seven hours a day. Mr. Neil Hering The new system has worked out fine. I think they should get the people out of the school or keep them by the gym. I haven't heard any complaints from the business people downtown. - Mrs. Peggy Ross T k Youll Pi k When confronted with an option like leaving school almost an hour early, how many people are going to stick around and take an extra class? Maybe sophomores who have nothing better to dog juniors planning on early graduation, or seniors needing another credit to graduate or maybe the student whose parents feel that an extra hour of school is more important than dragging main or rushing right home to feed their faces. Maybe that extra class is worth the time, but when students insist on feeding their minds with such garbage as Basket Weaving I or Napkin Folding I and II, why waste time at school? When the option of the six-period day was thrown at some of our faculty, most responded with positive answers. Some added that no core subjects, like history, government and English II, should be taught during the last period of the day. Others felt giving a wide range of options to the majority of people helped keep flexibility in the school. Although most teachers were happy about this type of six-period day, one teacher felt the option given to the students was an uneducational one - in that the student can choose to leave school. Despite that fact, the new six- or -seven period experiment has received higher reviews than ever expected. . .maybe we should keep it. I Faculty!151

Without this type of six period day it would take away the flexibility of the school system. - Mr. Gene Murray I am not too sold on it. The option they offer is really to leave school. That, in my mind, is not an educational option. - Mr. Lavern Brusven I like the present way. It gives an option to the most people. They can take the extra, workload or not. No core subject should be taught the last period of the day, especially English, which is the most important subject of the day. - Mr. james Benciv- enga

Mr. Richard Orr I just like teaching high school age students. They're old enough to carry on an intelligent conversation. They are also conscientiously creative. Mrs. Nancy Nordtvedt
