? l-1-DT' 6- - 1 I .Q I The WHS attendance office t was widely reported that WHS had an attendance policy in 1983 and 1984. But the WHS administration proved that these reports were false when it instituted an atten- dance policy with some teeth in the '84-'85 school year. Besides ending all the false reports, the new attendance policy actually forced people to go to class, which was becoming a dying art at WHS. The gist of the atten- dance policy was this: if a stu- dent had five unexcused ab- sences or seven tardies in any class, he is eligible to be failed from that class, on the spot. The attendance policy, if nothing else, created lots of controversy. Most students ac- tually disliked it, which was probably no great surprise. HI definitely dislike the atten- dance policy. Itls far too strict. I liked the 5-10-15 better, said senior Jorge Garcia, refering to one of Walnut's older atten- dance policies. Fellow senior Linda Karnes didn't agree. lt fthe attendance policyl seems fair to me. There's no reason why you should miss class at all unless you're absentf' The faculty seemed to think like Linda. The new policy is definitely a step in the right di- rection, but we need to go a lit- tle further, said English teach- er Larry Holmes. Fellow Eng- lish teacher Dan Priest was even more adamant. I love it. I toughens things up feel very in control with this policy. I don't have to worry about a lot of silly make-up work since students come to class. Whether the attendance policy was a huge success or not, one thing was for sure: the younger the student, the less it mattered. I think the atten- dance policy is fine,', said fresh- man Raissa Reed, but I don't know any other one, either. Q . V ONE SWIPE OF THE HAND, and attendance worker Donna Ekblad clears a student from an absence. At- tendance workers like Mrs. Ekblad had a much bigger job to do after the new attendance policy was instituted. Photos by Paul Maldonado.
