Students Welcome New Academic Changes With each passing class period, the halls of SHS grew quieter and quieter, a strange phenomena that could only be explained by a handful of enter- prising students and energetic teachers. They had traded in their extra hour of sleep each morning to attend one of the newly - established seven-thirty classes. Their sacrifice reaped bene- fits, however, because some students were dismissed as early as eleven-thirty. There was a host of changes and ad- ditions in the actual selection of courses. Nine-week science courses were made available to students through the mini-course system, and several full year courses were introduc- ed.The most noticeable change though, was the change in the classroom atmo- sphere. With the new batch of young teachers, came young ideas and better student-teacher relationships. . 2 , l 3 Q ff, iiiie itit T 16 Student Life
