With the tightening up on attendance procedures, it was the responsibility of the Administrative Department to check every absence by telephone. This effort to reduce the number of students cutting class was effective, but the increased workload was a burden. It was evident that many counselors and administrators liked the old system better, but they did their best to cope with the new arrangements. Mr. Carl Zaleski and Mr. George Felton patrol the hall near the SCA room after receiving complaints about students disturbing classes during the lunch periods.

Taking time out from her busy schedule, Mrs. .Margaret Hansen stops to chat with Mr. James Hoy and Mr. Richard Oliver as they relax after their cafeteria duty. As a result of the change in the counseling system, the administrative system was also reorganized. These changes were not totally beneficial, however, since the four schools within a school concept was dropped. Consequently, grade level authority was lost along with the close communication between counselors and administrators. This was accompanied by a shift in position by some administrators.

Those persons who dared to show up after the bell were inevitably asked for their pass. Pass? Nine times out of ten. they did not have one. , i This late to class syndrome had a variety of causes: the congestion in the halls, the test that lasted longer than the period, books that slipped and fell down an entire flight of stairs, lockers that would not open, and friends that had problems that they had to discuss. Many times the outcome of the episode depended on the attitudes of the teacher. For example, a student would come a-cross an ex-drill sergeant or by chance, cohort. In either case, the late student was always the center of attraction. P.it Stewart rushes to catch a late bus. When your alarm went off in the morning and you merely turned over, you slept late — then you had to rush because you were late for the bus. During school it seemed muc h more natural to be late to classes than to appear on time; after you fought the battle of your locker and the crowds, and talked to all your friends, the bell had rung. In class you had to explain that your assignments were late because in doing all those extra-curricular activities that seemed so important it was too difficult to find time to do those assignments. You made it through the day and then got to talking after school — before you knew it you were late to those activities and then you missed the late bus and were late to work. You learned a lot of things in high school — but you learned best how to be late. While the entire school building could be traversed in the five minutes allowed between classes, students often found reason to be late to class.
