7 - periods, passlfail mark year Above: Mr. Harold Sutter, the first principal, met with Mr. Salvatore Sa- lato, current principal, at the 25th an- niversary dinner-dance. l66 Administration The seven-period day and the passffail opportunity marked major changes in school policy for both students and staff. The seven-period day affect- ed everyone who arrived by 7:18 for his first class before homeroom. This enabled stu- dents to earn seven credits in- stead of six. I think the seven- period day gave the students a good opportunity to take an- other class that they might have had an interest in that was not a requirement for graduation, stated Mr. Salva- tore Salato, principal. There were mixed feelings among the student body about getting up so early for school, but most people found the sev- en-period day an advantage. With the extra class, I am able to fit in one more college pre- paratory class into my sched- ule, said Don Gardiner, sen- ior. With the pass! fail addition, students could take a class where the only grade was a pass or a fail. These grades did not affect grade point aver- ages. Forty-four students took a pass! fail class with typing as the most popular course. l took pass! fail in Iournalism H because even if I got an it would still bring my average down because it's not an ad- vanced class, stated Dale Carlson, senior. f ln the revised administrative structure, the duties of depart- ment chairmen were changed as the first step in moving to- ward area principals. Many members of the district were interviewed for the open posi- tions which when filled would bring the number of assistant principals to five. The 2071 students and l85 faculty adjusted to the changes in policy and concluded the 25th year successfully. Mr. Salvatore Salato, principal
