Three quarters allow for more variety in learning. After a three year trial run, the Jarter system has been accepted ir its own merit, for all of its good 1d bad characteristics. Seniors are ie only students who were subject to ie semester system four years ago. The quarter system has many ivantagesp the main one is that it lows students to take a wider vari- iy of courses. lt also allows more oecialized courses to be offered. tudents are exposed to several fachers a year, thus giving them the anefit of each teacher's knowledge. However, there are disadvantages to contrast the advantages, Teachers had difficulty adapting the subject matter to a twelve-week period. Three quarters also means three final exam periods. This alone has both an advantage and a disadvantage. It is easier for students to recall subject matter covered 12 weeks ago. How- ever, three finals are more than those provided for in the semester system, causing a loss of class time and an inconvenience for students. With all its advantages and disad- vantages, the quarter system has won its place in the Austin school dis- 1 stinks, N. trict, and wiILQrobably be around for a few years. ' 1. The UIL one-act play, The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail was an extracurricular project for drama students featuring Chris Hurley as John and Barton Faulks as Thoreau. 2. One project of the FHA program was to sew and tailor an outfit for a child, as Judy Poulsen does for her sister, Tammy. 3. Many hours of hard work and planning go into making a yearbook: Carolyn Foote, the TEXAN '78 editor, works on a layout for the pep rally spread. . .- 4. An award-winning tempra painting by Harvey Williams was displayed in the Scholastic Art Awards show at Highland Mall. ,j,.. . ,,i. . .t.., i. H .Eg nf. -M12 QW V .s , U .
