Ms. Shaff throws up her 1 hands in glee as she iii? awaits another schedule. ,gig palmer implements variable scheduling Many first occurred at Palmer this year. One of them was the implementation of variable scheduling. This resulted from intensive study and curriculum planning. Students were enrolled in two, three, four and five hour courses. These classes met either five days a week, on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, on Tuesday and Thursday, or just one day a week. Variable scheduling was designed to offer certain educational advantages, such as a greater number of course offerings, more individualized programs, and the decrease of student frustration and boredom. This new type of scheduling, along with other factors, made orientation and registration interesting, to say the least. Orientation lasted forty-five minutes, for each section of students, and consisted of advice on making out a final schedule. Books were obtained. Registration was somewhat chaotic. Counselors were busy helping students. Students made final revisions on their schedules. Student pictures were taken. Closed classes caused more problems. The seniors got first choice of classes, the juniors got second choice, and the sophomores got what was left. Then came the physical examination. Students had to undergo a series of tests including blood analysis, urinalysis, hearing check, visual scan, and speech survey. .ll1ll'LlllGllllGE Vicki Lloyd selects one of her class cards for the coming semester.
