Description

New System: By this time, all of you have got into the swing of the new rotating schedule, and are no longer showing up in the wrong classes at the right times. You have also got used to bringing your lunch pails to school. Many of you, however, are still wondering what purposes were behind the change, and are curious to know why our old arrangement was dis-carded and a new system put in its place. As a matter of fact, the rotating schedule and the lunch pails are nothing more than manifestations and direct results of a deeper, more far reaching change. It all began when the schools became so over-crowded that some action was imperative. The question was, what action was to be taken? New grammar schools could have been built. A new high school might have been erected. Neither of these ever passed the possibility stage. Instead, an up-and-coming body of school officials, decided upon the arrangement that we now have: a 6-3-3 system, with six elementary grades, three years of junior high school, and three years of senior high school, the high schools to have longer periods and a longer school day.
