Breaking tradition . . . By Mary Meyer grim picture had been drawn of the 4982-83 school year. Modular scheduling had finally and fully evolved, after years of threats, back into traditional scheduling. The school that had clung to modular scheduling the longest in the North Kansas City district could hold on no longer. In the eyes of many, Oak Park was no longer a 'star'. Oak Park's uniqueness was gone. Students approached the year apprehensively, not knowing quite what to expect. Many had resigned them- selves to the fact that the year would be monotonous, boring, and at best, chaotic. Mods were gone, and with them went the student lounge, resource centers, and courtyard suntan ses- sions. The major complaint of most Oakies was the idea that homework would actually have to be taken home. Students who were late-night studiers would miss the free hours as times to catch a few extra winks of sleep. Teachers wondered if there would be time to meet with students on an individual basis because now class was to be held five days a week. Some teachers acquired an expert ability to stop 'hall cruisers' as well as innocent people to frisk for hall passes. Those who did manage to discover ways, out of class found that the halls were very lonely and deserted. The courtyard and hall benches were occupied by no one except, perhaps, the ghosts of former Oakies from the 'days of mods'. Seniors, the last class to experience modular scheduling as juniors, were hardest hit by the reality of a traditional schedule. Many different thoughts and opinions ran through the minds of Oakies upon entering the year, but one view was shared by almost everyone - no mods meant no fun.
