Chronicle

A number of articles in this edition of the Chronicle newsletter relate to the high school’s Student Concerns Committee (SCC), which was formed to make recommendations to WHS administration and Student Council, based on student suggestions. A front-page piece notes low turnout for meetings, despite strong attendance early on. A page-2 editorial also mentions this issue, encouraging members of the committee and Student Council, too, to be proactive and get input from fellow students wherever they encounter them.

Also on page 2 is a cartoon referencing the "sleeping" student body and an article about SCC proposals, both successful – an open ninth period and the opportunity for students to choose where they spend their lunch break – and still under consideration – study hall options and a student activities card (the activities card is explained in more detail on page 1).

Rounding out the front page are articles about the demise of the school’s literary magazine, "Acropolis," and curriculum changes in store for the 1971-72 school year. Also covered on the front page are the details of a one-act play, sponsored by the school’s Race Relations Committee.

The inside pages include a Letter to the Editor from a recent WHS graduate about a potential Worthington youth center, a feature on a new social sciences teacher, a review of the movie "Love Story," a poem and a brief article reminding students to not use faculty restrooms.

Page four includes coverage of the school’s chess, swimming, wrestling and junior varsity basketball teams.
