Using their time advantageously, Sue Denyes, Kathy Emery and Beverly Steere are seeking help from their composition teacher, Mr. Behrendt, in understanding an essay. Jim Abbot finds the study carolls a great help for studying when he needs an extra quiet and roomy place. The carolls are in A199 and used primarily by Flex people. Q tx wi r r We . ' r faire' ,, ' . fl t i ' i ' . - Flexible scheduling has a unique combinatic of study hall and independent study which' supervised by a teacher. Students may leave tl room to consult with teachers or other studen about assigned projects. lt is usually necessa to do much research, so for easy access to tl library, a door was put in between A199 and tl library. This enables Flex students to gain e trance without a pass, for as long or short a tin as necessary. The systematic way by which Flex themes ar papers are returned involves the tile cabin which is also found in the A199 study hall. Ean student has his own folder in the cabinet with c his graded themes in it. It is evident that study hc for Flex students plays many different importa roles. To get to the library, Kathy Emery uses the door fro A199. As a Flexie , she doesn't need a pass to enter. s . , -- Zigi., , fn ,,ig1.z,,ff' gag. :

Flex combines English and history to view America,,past and present A different type of educational program now completing its second year at Seaholm is Flexible Scheduling, a combination of English and history. This past year, 150 students in Flex studied all aspects of the United States from the Puritans to modern day. The schedule for the Flex students varies from time to time as indicated by the name. However, one hour of every day is usually reserved for either an English or history class, one for study hall and one every other day for group meetings in the Little Theater. In the Little Theater a Flex student may hear a guest lecture or watch an unusual movie that pertains to his studies, but more often it will be a time for student participation in the program. Many times through- out the year Flex students use their ingenuity in presenting comical skits or giving lectures in order to illustrate and inform some phase of their studies in an interesting and amusing way. As a part of their curriculum for Flexible Scheduling, the sophomores meet every other day with their history teacher, Mr. Taras, for an hour long class. Presenting a skit to flexible scheduling, John Cameron, Jim Carr, Bob Wandel, Scott McEvoy and Margaret Boyd show the ditterence between Puritan and modern teens. Douglas Comb Ed Consolmagno .
