Arena scheduling, better known as pulling cards added to the many frustrations of LSH students this year. Despite early planning of schedules that was a necessity to assure that the pulling process went smoothly, many problems still arose. The most common gripe was from students scheduled to- ward the end of the procedure, who found they were unable to get the classes they wanted. These classes were Closed because their popular- ity or demand among students had filled them up early. Although there were many draw- backs, the positive aspect was that for the first time, LHS students enjoyed the privilage of choosing teachers. class hours, as well as their classes. mbsf lllilililllelwlii fmaibali llliilii ewwlliwmsiv- aswtilcalllyl for me ltinms as may ware i ,.

i983-84 was an eventful year for edu- cation at LHS. Many students and teachers found themselves wondering if education had taken second place at our school. Governor Lamm termed this year The year of education, yet the House and Senate declared budget cuts for education in the state. LHS did not escape these cuts, as the teaching staff was reduced through attrition and transfers, and others in Denver faced pay cuts. As just one result, stu- dents found themselves excluded from the library when it was closed fifth and eighth hours due to lack of librarians for supervision. At the faculty in-service day on Sep- tember II, other issues were discussed concerning the improvement of educa- tion at LHS. Some ideas presented were extension of the school day from six to seven hours and lengthening the school year itself. Other ideas were increased homework load, the elimination of off hours, and the stiffening of graduation requirements. Overall, the ideas were greeted with little enthusiasm by the LHS staff, who believed that the qual- ity, and not the quantity, of education should be increased.
