The new curriculum and graduation guide-lines are realis- tic. I do not see anything negative about wanting to improve school requirements and helping to bet- ter prepare all our students for the future. Considering the potential of to- day ' s young people, we, the edu- cators, must provide them with the best educational opportuni- ties, curriculum, and standards to meet that potential. Vic Combs These changes are part of a national trend which has grown from concern for today ' s youth in a highly technologically oriented future. The creation of additional opportunities for students in elec- tives as well as in the newly re- quired classes has been an advan- tage to the total program at LHS. Seeking to improve education through change will make educa- tion benefit students. Will Pullins The result of the new changes will not be known for some time. The ideas behind such changes are good but may result in the elimination of many activities which help to improve school mo- rale. The morale of the school has a great impact on the willingness of students to work hard. It also has an impact on potential drop outs and their attitude about re- maining in school.
