They are images that reveal our
' common humanity and offer
opportunities to look at, laugh with,
and learn from ourselves the tools
* used by Doug Betfcy are the antics of
the clown, disguise of the mask,
illusion of the mime, suspense of the
story, and the excitement of
improvisation
Doug Berdy began his profcsaooai
training at DeU 'Arte School of Mime

A
Semester
Curriculum to be
considered for
PSHSH
by Yvhm Barnes Dial
In efforts to trya new approach in
education, Purnell Swett High faculty
and staff members enlightened with
concepts and approaches ofa semester
curriculum.
Ted Blake, past principal of
Ashboro High School, shared concepts
of a concentrated curriculum in
semester scheduling on Wednesday,
Januarys in the school's media center.
The curriculum, copied horn a
Colorado high school format, is
scheduled as "four ninty minute
instructional blocks for ninty days
that allows students to complete eight
courses per year and a total of32 units
of credit during a four year period of
time," said Blake.
The desired outcomes include:
greater opportunities for students
promotes the success of students,
creates an environment that promotes
positive relationships, improve the
quality of instruction, attack
interruptions in die instructional day,
and promotes students' success by
be cot* courses ln the four period day
all teachers should have only three
ninty minute planning period with
approxiately seventy or more students
to teach per teacher.
The four period day provides for
extended lunches plus ten minutes
between class changes. "There are 49
North Carolina high schools presently
operating on the ninty minute
scheduled day." Blake said.
There are also unexpected
outcomes of the semester approach
which include less textbooks, more
units offered, reorganization of
teaching materials and scores probabl y
will not be affected. There also will be
less students in core classes and
increase of elective to cboose from
and an increase of N.C. scholars
Two Two waivers may exist within
the program. There will be a waiver of
the units required for students, and a
waiver for the number of units for
athletic participation.
Although programs have their
advantages and disadvantages and
change can be difficult, Purnell Swett
High Schoolis willing to accept the
challenge to improve educator) for its
students through the new semester
scheduling and curriculum .
