Raw Policy Set
For Students in
Go-Gorricular Work
In an effort to aid students, ip
choosing between time allotment
for required subjects and ‘other
activities, the Palmer high school
has set up a standard of schol
astic averages for all students
holding organizational offices
and/or participating in co-curri
cular activities, ti was announc
ed this week by Keith Smith,
high school superintendent.
This policy, he said, will not
only provide qualified students
for offices but also will tend to
protect those students with low
grades who sometimes over-ex
tend themselves by participating
in too many activities.
Students holding offices in rec
bgniezd organizations must have
at least a “C” average for sub
jects carried. Students who are
members of recognized organiza
tions or who participate in suih
activities as athletics, school
plays, band, majorettes drum
corps, cheerleaders, GAA, chorus,
and Key Club must have a “C-”
average or better.
Provision also has been made,
Smith added, to provide a pro
bationary period of six weeks for
students whose grades fall be
low required levels. During this
period probationers would have
opportunity to raise their grades.
