Autumn introduces innovations E, intering into fall brought new experiences for many. The teachers didn ' t have a settled contract when the school year began. Students were joyfully anticipating an extended summer break, but parents were wor- ried with the thought. After an all night session with the Board of Education, they reached a com- promise. School then resumed as scheduled after Labor Day break. The freshmen entered the high school with tougher graduation re- quirements than upper classmen. Two extra class credits were required. One additional credit in math and science and one additional semester of social studies were required. The discipline program also changed because the in-school suspension room was added. Mr. Dings was hired as the teacher in the I.S.S.R. Buchanan felt that the students could benefit more from this program. They were given certain amounts of work from each class that they must complete while in the suspension room. In this program the student accomplishes something rather than roaming the streets or having a day to sleep late. The dailv homerooms were re- placed by a one period study hall every Tuesday and Thursday. Finally, the six week marking periods were changed to nine week marking periods. I 12 FallCandids
