utton School System Improve By 542-195 Vote of Townspeople S ch chool ool itation E LIE F5 P035 o 2 New E Q: o 3 5 cn OSCS NEW SCHOOL Suttonians have finally accepted the responsibility of adapting to a modern world, and it is an encouraging note to proceed on. With a yes vote on the proposed new elementary school, Sutton should be on the verge or approaching a new high in education. At the same time, they are handing the future generation of students a prize which, whether they are cognizant of it or not, will be a boon in future years. Unarrected by double sessions in the elementary grades anyway. young students will nonetheless receive a little something extra. An added incentive will be present, an incentive which will be built in along with many ultra-modern facilities which are planned. These snould make the leaming experience a pleasurable one, one to be looked forward to. This indeed is a worthy goal, perhaps even a novel one. To attain this system in its proper perspective, there is one fact to be considered which is tar more important than any in- novations which will be present. In the light of many mechanized marvels, the individual student must not be lost. So that a child does not feel lost or forsaken amongst the quiet whirr of oiled gears, a teacher must pay as much attention, if not more, to the need of each student, not a group of them. ln this way, each will feel recognized for himself, and be able to function more use- fully ln the classroom. A rapport lvwwm--t. feat-he-r md -.nfrlprv should be easy to establish, particularly with the set up ol the school being what it is. lf all goes according to plan, the new wave of Sutton stu- dents should be making the scene in the fall or 1973. Many thanks are due to the people who devoted their unceasing energies to- wards the culmination of this project. Now it is up to the contrat-7 tors, architects, builders, and many others to see the new school through. .N I 5 3 Q 3 ev- 'wt ? 3 3 Q I B C5 CD fn 541 F Q Q.. 2 :T R Cb E 20 cl 3 1970 did not dawn encouragingly on Sutton High School. After years of enjoying a good academic rating, the problems of the '60's have succeeded in negating many of the school's previous assets. Culminating with the removal of accreditation, a label- conscious world has now deemed Sutton sadly lacking in even educatronsbane necessities. That this picture is stretched out of proportion is of litle consequenceg that a lack of space or facilities should not blatantly condemn our present curriculum will not be remembered. lt seems now that only the word non-accredited will enough to seriously question the value of a high school education for future Sutton graduates. ccredjdation Candidates Doub ll E BeE'
