Guidelines set for senior privileges This year for the first time, Shikellamy’s seniors had to follow a strict set of guidelines in order to keep their senior privileges. These privileges consist of open lunch and early dismissal from school for seniors. In previous years senior privileges were re- garded as a right which seniors were entitled to after having completed three years as underclassmen. However, the admin- istration felt that seniors had been abusing their privileges, so in order to correct this, they have required all seniors to maintain certain minimum standards if they wish to enjoy their senior privileges. Many seniors have lost their privileges because they have failed to maintain at least a 2.0 grade point average. Still more seniors have had their privileges revoked as the result of being late for school four times in a school year, or missing six days of school during the year. Seniors can lose their privileges because of unsatisfactory deportment during lunch time and eighth peri- od. After a senior has lost his privileges, he may appeal to a committee in an attempt to have them reinstated. This commit- tee consists of two administrators, two students, and one facul- ty member. Many seniors have regained their privileges through this appeal system, however, many have not. In the case of students who have failed to have their privileges reinstated they face the disappointment of losing much of their freedom, and may have helped to pave the way for a complete dismissal of privileges for future classes.
