interviews at two parents nights lesley buraah at some time in the montb of january every year comes that time which holds various meanings for different people vparents night has a similar sound to mothers day c fa thers day to one who didnt know of this delightful custom he would likely think that the students of geo worship their parents to such an ex tent that one day piece la just not enough however the letter taken home with each student or perhaps not taken home dispelled forever these thoughts the nights of january 13th and 29th were for the teachers extra nights of work for- the parents a not always pleasant revelation arid for the students a lilght of anxiety darting the beginning of a period with en lightened parents supervising homework for the required number of hours per night this year a new system was put into effect each teacher had two students acting as sec retaries who make appointments for parents these appoint ments were five minutes each and most teachers were busy the full time from 730 to 10 pm the secretaries were also responsible for introducing the parents to the teacher and the end of ave minutes polite ly informing the teacher that the five minutes were up and holding the door open until the parents had taken their leave the only problem in this sys tem was that in some cases teachers found that five minutes were not long enough coffee was served all even ing in the cafeteria for weary secretaries and teachers and the often disillusioned parents senior rebs end basketball season in fourth place the senior rebels finished their ims
