To Benefit Students And Administration The change in semesters was accompanied by the change In homeroom. For several years, homeroom has been questioned as to the use the student made of it for homework, and if the student only joined clubs to get out of home- room , rather than because he is truly inter- ested in participating in the club and its re- lated activities. Hopefully, a step in the right direction was made to solve these problems. Through the Student Council and the Administration, home- room period was moved from 8 o ' clock to be- tween second and third period. Homeroom was also shortened from 45 to 30 minutes to allow school to begin five minutes later in the morn- ing and end five minutes earlier in the after- noon. The change in homeroom sharply limited the amount of time which clubs had to conduct meetings, so it became necessary for a few clubs to meet after school. Also, one minute was added to each of the five lunch periods. Of course, the majority of students will con- tinue to use homeroom as a time to finish up homework, use the media center, attend club meetings, obtain tutoring, and naturally, a few will continue to use homeroom as a time to catch up on sleep. (Above Left) In Mr. Meise ' s homeroom, as in other typical Warren homerooms, students line up each day to present their passes which enable them to attend club meetings, obtain tutoring, and make those time consuming trips to the bookstore.
