ALTON EVENING" TELEGRAPH SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1968 At Marquette High Computer Plans Class Schedules SCHOOL DAYS just aren't what they used to be at least not at Marquette High School this year. With the innovation of a new form of programming called "modular students put their hoads together frequently in an effort to discover what classes they have next, according to their IBM schedules which vary from day to day. By CARROL HOWARD Telegraph Family Page Writer An It by 15 inch piece of paper has become an Indispensable necessity of life to students and teachers at Marquette High School this year. Without it, the old question of "Who's on first?" could magnify into chaotic proportions. But with it, students and teachers are adjusting to what they believe to be a better and more effective way of classroom life.

The center of activities at Marquette revolves around a new method of programming called modular scheduling. Rather than using the tradi- dltional form of eight periods in a day, 40 to 60 minutes long, the school has built its schedules this year on a system of 15-mlnnte modules. From these basic time spans, classes are then built into 30, 45, 60, and occasionally 90 minute periods. Each student's schedule varies from day to day with classes usually meeting for 30-minute peroids three days a week, for an hour one day a week, and for an hour and a half once weekly. All subjects receive a minimum of 210 minutes of classroom time a week with English classes having a weekly total of 255 minutes.

Ann Landers Boy Friend Mooches Dimes DEAR ANN LANDERS: I am the mother of an average family of modest means. We have five children to support and educate. Our 16-year-old daughter is going steady with a boy in her class. He walks her home from school every afternoon. (This has been going on for two years.) They al; ways end up in the kitchen raid- ing the fridge.

Ana Landers. munching awayi the boy invariably asks my daughter for her purse. She hands it to him and he takes all the dunes. He "saves" them. Not only am I offended at the sight of this big, fat kid taking money out of a girl's purse, but it infuriates me when I think of all the places I have for every penny.

Our daughter doesn't work. She gets an allowance. My husband says Ann Landers would tell you to M.Y.O.B. How about it, Ann? PORT ANGELES, WASH. Dear Port: The allowance belongs to your daughter and she has a right to do what she pleases with it even give it to that big, fat kid.

You would be remiss in your responsibility as a mother, however, if you didn't tell your daughter there is something missing in a boy who 1 would mooch dimes off his girl. For the lack of a better word, I'd call it "character." DEAR ANN LANDERS: am writing to comment on the letter from the w'oman who insists that a baby sitter who sleeps on the job is worthless and she might just as well leave the kids unattended. I'd like to know if this woman and her husband sleep in shifts so one of them can stand guard over their kids at night. If not, according to her definition, she might as well leave her kids by themselves. Let's be sensible, Ann Landers there is nothing wrong with a sitter catnapping.

The test should be can she get up to answer a phone? I suggest the mother caU her a few times during the night and see. A VOTE FOR COMMON SENSE Dear Vote: I cast my vote with yours. But may I remind you that the sitter under fire was no cat-napper. According to the woman who wrote, she Halloween Dance Set slept like "ten dead elephants." Remember? DEAR ANN LANDERS: May I say a word to the mother of the boy who wrote to say he felt the need for psychiatric help but his mother insisted it was "just a stage" he w'as go- inj; through and to forget it. That boy's letter could have been written word for word by our own son same age and even the same name.

The lad's fear that he would commit suicide was expressed exactly as our son expressed it. I also told him it was "just a stage" and that he would outgrow it. Our son made good his threat and I.am brokenhearted. Please keep urging mothers not to ig- nore their children when they ask for psychiatric help. Sometimes a physical checkup is not enough.

CAN'T FORGIVE MYSELF. Dear Can't: You did what you thought w'as best at the time. None of us can look into the future and see what lies there. Thank you for wilting. Perhaps your letter will help other children.

The 90-minute periods now make it possible for teachers to schedule field trips, have large group instruction, or plan special film studies. Sister Miriam Patricia, principal, said that in the old method of scheduling everything was time-oriented. Classes met for the allotted time whether they needed it or not, and field trips or changes of schedule broke into several unrelated classes. "Modular she continued, "should be orientated to the needs of the teaching process." Marquette Is the first school In this area to use the new method. The idea for It grew out of research done by a commission appointed by the National Association of Secondary School Principals in 1959.

It was recommended to Marqnette last year after evaluation by the North Central Accreditation Association. Once Marquette decided to transfer to the new method, the faculty met in long range planning sessions last spring to determine the amount of time to be allotted to each subject. After decisions were made on this matter, information on the subjects to be taken by each student were processed through a computer, and individual schedules were then "organized by IBM. All schedules begin with 15 minutes of home room each morning. However, after that subjects appear in different time periods from day to day.

A typical student schedule on Monday might begin with algebra being taught the first 45 minutes, followed by a 30-minute period of Latin. An hour and a half long study period may then precede 30 minutes for lunch. The afternoon could begin with Spanish from noon to 1 p.m., followed by a 30-ininute study period. After a 30-minute religion class, English would then close the day from 2 to 3 p.m. Tuesdays might begin with Latin and end with religion with only two 30-minute study peroids scheduled.

The remaining days are also varied according to individual subject needs. Sister Gregory Joseph, English instructor, commented that freshman students seemed to have experienced the least amount of difficulty in adapting to the new method.

TEACHERS HAVE PROBLEMS, This group of boys, typical of the many families enrolled at the school, creates confusion for their teachers, Jeff Dale, senior football player, rear, is shown with his twin brothers, Dan at left, and Den at right, and their cousin, Jim in striped shirt. Dan, Don and Jim, all freshmen and all having the same last name, often appear in the same classes, causing the instructor to wonder which twin has the Algebra, or is it "them" or is one "him?" tributed to the fact that they have never been accustomed to the old form of scheduling, so they are not confused by two different methods. However, hi a sampling of opinions at the high school, the majority of students seem enthusiastic about the new program.

Tom Manns, a junior student, explained that he liked it because "it allows for variation during the day "as oposed to last year when everything was the Another junior student, Miss Geralyn Meyer, confessed that at first she didn't think she would like it because she thought "it would be too hard to However, she, too, now likes the day-to-day change. Miss Becky Crivello, a senior, admitted that she "still has to look" at her the variety of it appeals to her also. Although it's too early to determine the effectiveness of "modular scheduling" a't Marquette High School, the program has served to join students and teachers together in mutual search of the answer to the day- to-day question of "I wonder where I'm supposed to be now."
