the schedule from three lunch periods to two. This kept the fourth hour classes from being split. The project was a success because ot extensive planning by administration, students and staff cooperation. This was a big change, and although some things had to be worked out, the cafeteria workers helped, and the students handled the change well and did what they were asked to do, said Mr. Don Geozeff, vice principal. Phase elective English classes were dropped, too, thereby streamlining the curriculum. Teachers agreed that the phase elective program did not benefit the students in the way it was intended to because many students failed to select the proper classes. Another addition to the school was an achievement test, in which students in grades seven through 12 participated. Mrs. Shirley Smalley, curriculum and instruction coordinator, was the initiator of this project. She said, The test was added this year to identify strengths and weaknesses of students in all grades, not just the elementary levels. The test was brought about after careful planning. lt was a great advantage to the students because it helped us to predict areas in which they could be successful. Looking around the school building itself, students noticed the beginning of some remodeling and the addition of a computer lab, which brought the math department up-to-date with the latest technology. Mr. Ronald Grimes was in charge of the new facility. Other areas of the school experienced remodeling also. Some classrooms were brought up-to-date by expanding them or adding new equipment. ln addition to the many changes in the curriculum and the school building itself, the attitude of the student body underwent an alteration. Instead of looking at the negative aspects of school, such as decreased enrollment, students took an optimistic viewpoint of school. As Mr. Geozeff said, When they were asked to do something, they did it. This statement summed up just how much enthusiasm New Castle Chrysler High School students had. These changes and others made this year one well worth looking into. Chrysler High, here's looking at you! What am I forgetting? . . .
