Junior High Hi kites By Sue Blue The North Webster junior high cheerleading try-outs were held on Friday, May 8. All sixth and seventh grade students attended the program. Those girls wishing to tryout went to the microphone, told of her cheer, gave her name and then went out and performed in front of the students. There were both individual and group tryouts. Following the final cheer the students went to the second period classes and awaited the ballots. Then, after voting, each ballot was counted. Finally the winners were announced. The new cheerleaders for North Webster junior high are: Sixth grade — Kelly Bias, Jane Fawley, Jane Butts, Liz Mahorney and Lori Lantz. Seventh grade — Jennifer Longenecker, Angie Mock. Shannon Hall. Jane Simpson and Kim Trobaugh. STORY HOUR SATURDAY Mrs. Oscar Bjella, children’s librarian at the Syracuse public library, has announced there will be a story hour Saturday, May 16. from 11 a.m. to 12 noon. All ages are welcome.

Change Day The board also approved a recommendation in the high school day for students which will eliminate the home room period at the end of the school day. This will result in a shorter day for high school students, but will not reduce the curricular offering or reduce the number of class periods in the day. It wall provide the following: 1. Opportunity for students to use the resource center after school hours. 2. Opportunity for teachers to have additional team planning time. 3. Provide opportunity for students to receive individualized instruction from staff members after school hours. 4. Reduce the number of miles driven by bus drivers in a year’s time by 61,000 miles with a corresponding savings of SII7OOO in operational expenses alone. 5. Change the time for the late busses from 6 to 5:15 p.m. Lakeland Classroom Teachers Association Howard Locke was present and questioned the board on the educational value of this change as it effected the elementary schools at Milford and North Webster. It was explained that the total program in all schools was of first concern and isolated problems of some teachers would be reviewed if they developed due to this change.

Syracuse High School Alumni Announcements This year’s alumni officers would like to remind all Syracuse high school graduates that on May 23. at 6:00 p.m. the Syracuse Alumni banquet will be held at the Syracuse Junior high school cafeteria.
