Students at the Anacostia Junior
Senior High School didn't seem to be
very much excited today over the
fact that by reporting for work at
$3.50 ANA half hour earlier than
usuaHthey were launching an expert
ment which IS expected to eliminate
the need for all toll outside the class
room.
The six weeks mo homework"
schedule-caIling for an $50 TO 3
o'clock program-went into effect this
morning under supervision of Principal
c. W. Holmes, but student opinion was
divided on the virtues Of the new plan.
1T won't hurt anybody but those
who don't do any homework any
way" according to Jack Stone. presi-
dent of the Student Council, who IS
all for the new hours.
I'm not much of an athlete" he
declared, but I'll have lot more time
TO play if I don't have to study after
I leave school"
Thinks It's Pretty Nice.
Jack said he's been putting any
where from an hour and half to
three hours on his homework, and
it's pretty nice to have that time re-
duced to a half hour-even If he does
have to get up earlier.
Peggy Duncan, vice president OF the
student council, isn't so sure.
II voted for the plan," she said, "but
I guess I'll study at home, anyway.
I can do lot better when I get off
to myself than when I'm in school"
(That, incidentally, isn't in accord
with Holmes views. He says that so
many families live in apartments or
crowded homes nowadays that it's
pretty hard for a student to get a
quiet place to study)
