New Kids On The Block Sixth Graders Learn About Detentions, Stuck Loekers, Different Teachers for Every Glass This year marked the second year in which the 6th grade were part of the Jr. High. The biggest change the sixth graders had to adjust to was the lockers. No longer could they keep their little desks full of books and old papers. They now could fill real lock- ers with real combinations, with these things. Among the other changes were detentions and suspen- sions. Gone are the days when 6th graders had to stand in the corner with their noses against the wall. They are now assigned detentions and if they don't solve the problem, suspensions can be served. Besides these, sixth graders get no recess unless they rush through lunch to get outside and talk with their friends. They can buy one week lunch tickets that cost $5.50 in the office or they can buy their lunch on ala carte. They can also go up town to buy their lunch now, just like eve- ryone else. When asked what they were scared of when entering Jr. High, the biggest reply was detentions. They were also asked what it was like to be finally in Jr. High. One student with some math in his head, said, Half boring, 1 4 fun, and the rest work! Many of the sixth graders in their spare time play sports, watch mov- ies, play video games, and watch T.V. Some of the favorite movies this year among the sixth graders were: Heart- break Ridge, Indiana Jones, Iron Ea- gle, Police Academy 4, and The Color Purple. ► Chris Peterson anticipates trouble in the hall.

DURBIN HEADS BOARD Election and Appointment Bring New Members George Durbin, board member since 1971, was once again chosen board president. Lynn Henrikson was appointed to finish the unexpired term of the late Wayne Torman and James Bann, local banker, won a seat on the board during the regular elec- tion. Board members shown, left to right, are Don Fiste, Lynn Henrikson, Kurt Larson, George Durbin, Craig Carter, Bob George, and James Bann. A successful new attendance pol- icy was adopted for grades six through twelve, which rewards those students who have perfect atten- dance in a class with exemption from the semester exam in that class. At the end of the third quarter, absen- tees in those grades showed a 48% decrease over last year. Principal Al Humpage established committees to write state-mandated learner objectives in math and sci- ence. Reading objectives, adopted last year, were tested in the spring. The rock donated by the class of 1906 became part of a permanent structure composed of the corner- stones and the bell from the 1900 building.
