Study Halls
Simmer Down
A new innovation in the school
this year is the hiring of Mrs.
Grace Brown to supervise study
hall six periods a day.
This enables almost every
teacher in the school to have a
free period each day in prepara
tion tor classes.
Mrs. Brown stated that she is
enjoying her work and has not
had any acute disciplinary prob
lems, although some disagree
ments frequently arise concerning
a student’s failure to bring per
mits to leave class.
When asked to comment on the
new addition to the ASHS teach
ing staff Mr. Hawkins stated, “The
expense of hiring Mrs. Brown is
well worth the improvement in
teaching that this should bring.”
Since there is someone in the
study hall room at all times, the
administration feels that this is an
advantage within itself.
We are finally a real student body.
