what discourages truancy ,wr ,F we-'-'f f f,-W kr I lf ,I-1 1- mr 1, as, miti- Studen ts' smoking areas curtail disciplinary needs and decrease suspensions Because of increasing truancy and resulting failure problems, the deans, Mr. J. Regan and Mr. S. Manuel, changed the student's admit- tance procedure. The new system consisted of a call from the parents of the absent student to the dean's office to excuse the absence and to readmit the student without an admittance slip. The institution of student smoking areas relieved discipline problems connected with smoking. There was a definite decrease in first-time and recurring suspensions. Involved in student registration, the Assis- tant Principal D. Ciner operated the computer, managed schedule conflicts, and devised a new form for unsatisfactory progress reports. Work- ing with the superintendent and the business manager, Dr. W. Hutchinson, principal, helped to institute the educational program at Morton West and carefully supervised the newly in- stalled smoking areas around the campus. Taking time out from a hectic day, Dr. W. Hutchinson tabove, middlej relaxes in the faculty cafeteria as he relates a humorous incident to Mr. J. Williams.
