Student Drop Outs Soar To 64 One does not rcmcmhcr tlicir face. They may have been in one or two of your classes Perhaps they were a trouble maker whom you saw throwini; smoke-bombs in the bathroom. The drop-out disease can effect anyone at anytime as it did with several seniors the last half of the year. The drop-outs soared to 64 with 20 soph- omores. 21 juniors, and 2 seniors rounding out the list. Vice Principal Gruwell said, that the general reason is a lack of interest in school. Most of the kids we can find in the summer conferences and predict which ones will drop out Most of the time they have already nude up their mind. In support of the idea that kids are usually decided on whether to stay or not, Mr. Knudsvig added, It was interesting to note that none of the drop outs occured in May. Other factors causing drop outs were problems with the family, and students having to work to keep their car or other items.
