6 routine Pace Of Routine Quickens With a vote from the School Board, the normal school day, lasting from 8:00 am to 3:00 pm, was shortened by a half an hour to end school at 2:30 pm. This move was made primarily for elementary school teachers to have an extra thirty minutes of planning time. For high school students, the change did not work very well. The short break in the morning was cancelled, preventing the many clubs at L.H.S. to have meetings, and at the same time tak- ing away what little breathing space the stu- dents had. When the bell rang sig- naling a class to end, there was a mad rush for the lockers, which were soon jammed with students hur- rying to their next class. Ah, well, all was not lost. The day seemed to fly by, and when 2:30 came around, the extra thirty minutes seemed a blessing! VOCATIONAL STUDENTS. Lynn Brown, Janet Couch, and Larry Green return to L.H.S. from the Vocational School at Lawrenceburg. EXTRA MINUTES.
