ACADEMICS To read and to write, to listen and to speak, to watch and to do— Academics are the heart of the school. Only here are all students involved every day. Knowledge out is the teachers' job, knowledge in is the students' goal. Academics are the school's reason for being. South's new outdoor classroom completed in June 1967. Photo by Newsday.

(Great Neck Record photo) Computer Places Students For The First Time Computer scheduling came to Great Neck this year. Dr. John L. Miller, superintendent, and the Board of Education author- ized the use of a computer in Schenectady to place students and teachers in classes, rooms and lunch periods. Within a few years, it is hoped, students trained in a computer math class will operate Great Neck’s own computer. Students will learn to operate this computer which will reduce the amount of lengthy administrative work now done by the secretarial staff. Dr. Miller's office and the board pursued topics such as cur- riculum. scheduling and increased student independence. To achieve these ends, faculty and inter- school committees investigated “looser scheduling to get away from the standard five-day pro- gram,” according to Assistant Superintendent Mortimer Abra- mowitz.
