vmrmwnm . a. -. .. Academics Students Rank High SCHS has always been noted for its outstand- ing academic. standards. When compared to other area high schools in statewide testing, SCHS was ranked very high. This year brought a new challenge to the students when the grading scale was raised. At first everyone was a bit disgruntled, but the students later realized that it would help them even more in their preparation for college. Already 8670 of our graduates attended college. Almost all of the classes were held in the senior building this year, in order to hold down heating costs. With the exception of Art I and II, Newspaper, Speech, Drama, and Yearbook which were held in the freshmen building. The library was then moved to the old band room in order to make more classrooms available. Some new classes that were added at the request of students and teachers were: Contempory Living, Latin, Foods and Cloth- ing, Health, Psychology, and Chorus. All these classes were added in order to improve the standards in the curriculum and will be spotlighted in this section.
