Mrs. Allen made the decision during the end of the 1980 school season to release the schedule earlier than usual. The schedule usually does not come out until mid-November, but due to protests from students, it has been released early. “The voice of the students brings action,” said Mrs. Allen. In the past, the November releasing of the schedule has caused numerous problems with both students and faculty in obtaining airplane reservations for the Christmas holidays. Hopefully, this prompt release of the schedule will eliminate most of the problems encountered during the holiday season.
