School Government Policies Initiated And Governing Bodies Born School reytilations underwent drastic revisions produced by an active and genuinely concerned Board of Education. The first of several decisions granted boys the freedom to wear any length hair, requiring only that it be kept clean. The next major breakthrough was a second revision in the dress code ruling that school dress is a matter of personal discretion, permitting any apparel complying with safety standards. Most graduation requirements faced abolition as the Board ruled that a graduate need only have l ' 0 units including six semesters of physical education. Attempting to maintain our high standards of education, San Marcos administrators set our graduation requirements at one semester of mathematics, two of science, four of English, four of social studies, and physical education every semester. This year witnessed the birth of a city-wide Junior Board of Edu- cation which gives students a say in educational policies. Also estab- lished was a Supreme Court given final jurisdiction over questions con- cerning constitutionality in every facet of student government. Students occupy the bench, thereby allowing students to rule on student government. Dr. Norman Scharer, Superintendent.

i Assistant Prifiic l )cil And Deans New Assignments Aim For Academic Relevency The changes in the administrative assignments, the dress and grooming standards, and the effects of Senate Bill I, during the past year, have played an important role in the responsibilities of the co-administrators of San Marcos High School. Mr. Hentchke lost his role of the heavy around school with the new dress and grooming standards initiated this year and has had more time to assist in the athletic programs As advisor of the House of Representatives and the co-ordi- nator of all activities on the SM campus, Mr. Mangus has ex- pended many hours to make the Activities Programs more relevant. This year he has played an integral part in the planning of the Moratorium Assembly, the Environmental Pollution Day, the Nomination Convention and the Cabinet decisions. Mr. Priester. in addition to being a counselor, assisted Mr. Barens in the changing of the academic requirements for gradua- tion at San Marcos.
