Arena Offers Class Selection by: Pam deLeon Arena scheduling's purpose was to allow students the opportunity to select electives, commented Mr. George Mariman, vice-principal of curriculum. OrginalIy colleges and junior colleges registered students using this system and high schools followed their example. Because advanced institutions now register by mail we will no longer have arena scheduling, not spending an entire day for registering, as it will be done by computer, Mariman added. Arena scheduling consisted of students coming to the Little Theater at their scheduled time according to their last name. Followed by going to the cafeteria, where each teacher sat at a table, and choosing their classes. Freshman, Michael Jimenez liked the way arena schedul- ing was. Jimenez replied, lt's a lot different from junior high. l like to be able to choose my own classes. Patrick Pankey, a senior, was in his first year at Pittsburg High and didn't like arena scheduling. Pankey responded, The doors were opened late and it was too crowded. A lot of people took extra electives instead of English or math classes. Also it's not fair to the students who came late in the afternoon when most classes were already filled. Computers could do a better job. 1. Senior Chris DeTorres looks through the schedule of classes for the second semester before the arena begins. Each student is given a handbook outlining the classes. Q. Senior Rose Greenup gives her name card to Mr. Chuck Evanms for enrollment in English IV CP. State colleges require all seniors com- plete 4 years of CP. 3. Senior Marzel Price and Jerome Sandoval make outtheirfinalclass schedules. Each student must have his sched- ule approved by his counselor before leaving the arena. 4. Think- ing of his schedule change, Senior Michael Walker decides which class to take. For some students, classes are full when they arrive at the arena, so they must change their schedules. 5. Sophomores Mike Sangimino and Richard Hoff- man waitin line to sign up for P.E. classes. All students must pass at least Q years of P. E. to graduate. Ll,LLl5lil.l, lil:LLlilLUI..LLLl: 'Si' ,pr
