work on one of the three major publications: Hallway, a nationally recognized newspaper, Eight Acres, the annual yearbook, or the literary magazine, Windmill. Students are required to participate in two sports a year, with possibilities such as baseball, tennis, basketball, volleyball and track. Holland Hall also boasts of an exceptionally fine boys' and girls' soccer team and the only field hockey team in Tulsa. Another important aspect of Holland Hall is the philosophy of trust and responsibility upon which it bases its entire structure. The school day is a good example of this. The schedule evolves around a six-day cycle imposed on a five-day week, each day being divided into 18 mods consisting of 22 minutes each. Most classes last two mods, however, some labs last three or more. Not all this time is spent in the classroom, though. A student, on the average, has only four or five classes a day, and the rest of the time can be used as he chooses. Common activities vary from work on homework or painting in the artroom to taking a stroll on the wooded campus. The student is given the responsibility to use this time constructively. From this trust he learns to think for himself, make important decisions, and grow through this extra dimension of school life.
