MR. JOHN L. RAMSEY Associate Superintendent Div. of General Administration E.-Q.-P. 1972-1973 Everywhere you turn you come face-to- face with the so-called new look. The present fashions in style vary with the individual. Some prefer very informal clothing for all occa- sions, even school wear. Levis are the one item everyone of the Redskins like, it seems. Evidently, hair must be worn long, preferably over the collar for males, to the vsJaist for fe- males. ' hether boy or girl bell-bot- toms and the layered look are in at Seneca. Blue, green, and purple nail polish worn by the fashion conscious squaws here would have made my feminine ancestors jealous. The new look has spread to edu- cation. Instead of enduring that de- spised course for an entire year, you can relax, knowing that it will be over in just twelve weeks! That is one advantage of the Elective Quarter Plan. Other conveniences experienc- ed are cheaper book costs and overall fees, due to a rental fee charged in many courses. In an effort to create one of the most advanced school systems in the United States, one which has become widely known as an education pioneer, the inventive and forward looking members of the Jefferson County Board of Education ushered in a new era for public school pupils of the system. For the first time students may elect to attend school or be on vaca- tion. The main goal of the EQP is to give students freedom of choice in subjects elected as well as quarters of attendance. Superintendent Van- Hoose, all Associate Superintendents, members of the staff of subject matter supervisors, administrations and teach- ers within all our schools, along with parents and students cooperated in in- forming the public and writing new cirricula for implementation of the EQP. It has been an interesting school year. Many pupils were able to in- clude variety subjects that could not be fitted into their former rigid sched- ules. Two vacation days are allotted stu- dents between quarters. The teachers use these days to close books on one quarter and enroll the students for the succeeding period.
