Other means of punishment had to be found. Fi- nally a decision was made. Any student found guilty of breaking The Big Eight would automati- cally serve Saturday school. Dean of Students Charles Keller said, The reason we're doing this is to hopefully put an end to in- school suspension and causing stu- dents to miss classes. When given detention for any reason, students were given two chances to serve. After the first chance the detention was doublcdg after the second chance Saturday school was assigned. Saturday school was held from 8:00 a.m.- 2:00 p.m. The students were given one week's notice. Those students attending Saturday school had two short five minute breaks and one half hour lunch. They could not leave the school nor have visitors and had to bring a sack lunch or have someone bring lunch to them. Each student had enough school work to keep busy or was assigned work by the teacher in charge. Behavior problems resulted in suspension and was re- ferred to the and eat and sleep. Deten- tion really doesn't do anything. The janitors don't need help and detention just ends up wasting their timej, said Junior Annette Isom. Junior Juli Tippets added, Saturday school is a good idea. It takes some of their time away when they could be having fung then they care about what they do. Junior Terry Wood noted, As long as I don't have to go, it's fine. It will help kids to not get any more tardies and maybe get some work done. Junior Kristine Hoopes said, Who wants to come to school on Saturday? It will be good because kids will be given less de- tention and suspen- sion. It will teach kids not to get in trouble.

I have leamed how to measure, cook, and wash dishes so I will be prepared when I go to college. Home ec. taught the students many skills: how to make deci- sions, how to work hard and get along with others, how to be good consumers, as well as how to cook, sew, and parent. I will use the skills I have leamed in home ec. mostly when I am in college and after I get married, So- phomore Heidi Schell said.
