their What's Up U-High Midway• Tuesday, New schedule restores earlier dismissal to school • BYALEX ZAMIAR • EDITOR-I-CHIEF CT-Highers who have bee n arriving home an hour or more later than last year because of this year's 3 :30 p.m. dismissal time will be happy to know last year's 3:15 dismissal will be nearly restored next year. Principal Hanna Goldschmidt's final schedule draft, presented to department chairpersons at a meeting April 3, establishes a 3:20 dismissal in recognition of commuting students who have had to take later trains home. Under Ms. Goldschmidt's plan, the present late start on Thursdays will be eliminated but the much-loved activity period after lunch Thursdays retained. The plan includes a new weekly all-school meeting period but an earlier plotted 10-minute daily morning break has been dropped in favor of the earlier dismissal. Meeting on how to schedule classes around the needs of students, a faculty committee with representatives from each of the Lab Schools components met with Mr. Rod Snelling of International School Management consultants last month. Mrs. Susan Shapiro, history, and Mr. Paul Gunty, math, are representing the High School. "Attending Mr. Snelling's meetings was beneficial and we accomplished a lot," Mrs. Shapiro said.

The death of his father, Senior Daniel Coleman said, brought him closer together with his family and friends. "WHEN I CAME back to school, everyone was very supportive. Teachers and people I didn't know well sent me flowers and notes. It didn't feel like pity, but like understanding and friendship. "I felt able to talk with people who before I wouldn't even think of being friends with. I also found a way to cope by writing stories." Although friendly in most cases, some teachers have been cold.
