"Teachers have to have more patience today," she aid. "'Years ago a student had to do wrhat a teacher said. It wasn't resp ct, it was fear. Today the students question a lot more, and the only way to get 'respect is through your knowledge of the subject." - She, added that she wias dis-' appoinled thiat more parents did not become involved. "Parents are quick to criticize," she said, "but in most cases they don't even know, what is going on in school." John Sylvestervich, 'One of the Assistant Principals at the school saîd that only in a few cases had there been an attempt by anonye in the school to go out and re- cruit instructors front the coin- munity. Keif h Hansen, said tha the in- vitations to the community were given indirectly through the stud- 'nts. 'When the students were polled concerning the types of c'ourses which they feit shouki he offcred they were asked to of- fer suggestions regarding possile instructors. There weren't many turned in,". le added. Fromi an admninistration Point of view two trends became clear. Student instructors tended to0 i-un out of steam by the last. per- bod of the day.

The bookç- jet was distributed to the stu(i- ents on Friday, March 3. Lai er thal day the sîndents chose the subjects which they wished to take during te three dais. A seondorganizational prob- lem was to arrange for lime, a place and a Iength for each course which was to be taught. During the three day period the school day was divided int five one hour and fifteen minute per- iods. 'There were nractical reas- ons for this decision. Il 'covsî-ed the same lime period as a normal school day, and therefor-e it didn't interfere with the iitegrated bu- ing system which Clarkie shares with the area ceenayschools.
