Shelia Sapero, president of the committee, announced a “trial run” of the idea. Formerly only GHS students were allowed at the open houses. Shelia asked that the following rules be observed; 1. Senior High students must sign their names and the names of their dates or guests with her. She will be on the steps of the girls’ gym every Wednesday and Thursday before the open houses. 2. The Senior High students mud/ check their names off the list at the door of the gym the night of the open house and pre sent their Youth Recreation ID card. 3. The student will be respon sible for the conduct of their guests or dates while at the open house. Violation of the rules on the ID card will result in the removal of the card and participation in Youth Recreation activities for the remainder of the year. All students are urged to ob serve these rules so the practice can be cohtinued. So far the idea has been warmly received by the students.
