The 3-3A district also faded In the dust when SHS moved up to the new 2-4A district. The change of districts took place In order to make a new district on the coast. The University Interscholas- tlc League did this by combing 3-3A and 2-3A together. To be eligible for 2-4A the enrollment of the school must be between 600 and 1.300. The towns competing In 2-4A are Snyder, Sweetwater, Lakevlew, Lamesa, Odessa Ector, Andrews, Mona- hans, Pecos, Fort Stockton. Because of the fusion of the districts the competition for literary and sports events Increased greatly. In some literary events. Including journalism, science, ready writing, math, and typing, there were nine schools Instead of four competing. In sports events, Snyder Is now playing teams that they would usually play In regional competition. The third Important change for 80-81 Involved the quarter system which was changed to the semester system. The major changes that took place when the semester system began Included a redividing of the year; unsatisfactory slips were sent to students’ parents. These slips were a notice to parents that their child was either dose to falling or was falling that particular class. Since the year was divided Into halves Instead of thirds, the students only had to take two nine weeks tests and two semester tests. During the quarter system report cards were received every six weeks. This year the report cards were sent out at nine weeks. The change of district brought tougher competition for the Tigers as they faced Andrews a new district competitor. Paul Ellis hands Mrs. Mebane a Doctors note for an absence excuse. Counselors John Short and Janet Wesson look over computer sheets trying to rearrange a quarter system to a semester system. 3
