For Annual Job
On Exam Exemptions
by Sarah Brand
Recently the school adminis-
tration in Wyoming, Michigan,
considered a new policy concer-
ning final examinations. The
question was: “Should seniors
who have a ‘B’ or better average
for the year in a course have to
take an exam in that class?"
Both CHS faculty members
and students freely expressed
their views on the subject.
The feeling that exams find
out what a student has memoriz-
ed instead of what he knows
was expressed by Willard senior
Judy Hughes.
“I feel that exams should find
out what a student knows in-
stead of what he does not know,"
commented Judy. “Exams
should enable a student to say
what he thinks, not concentrate
so much on the right answers.”
Civics teacher Mrs. Jerry
Woodruff feels that exams do
serve a definite purpose. “Ex-
ams permit the college-bound
student to learn how to study
for tests he will have in his fu-
ture college life,” she asserted.
Barton senior Marilyn Boston
decided that seniors who have a
certain average should be ex-
empt from taking exams. “Ex-
ams do not show the real picture
of your ability,” she declared.
“Daily grades give a better ov-
erall view of a studen’s ability.”

that exemption would serve as
a reward for capable students.
"If you’ve passed everything,
you should be exempt with a
certain average, because you
have proved that you have the
ability,” said Willard senior Sha-
ron Barnett.
Many commented that exams
create a healthy competitive spir-
it among the students. “Exams
are used as a measure of suc-
and achievement for each
cess
Edna
student,” declared Mrs.
Putman, English teacher.
Exam exemption may or may
net be in the future for CHS, but
regardless, students and teach-
ers will have to continue work-
ing hard around examination
time. “Exams are a very impor-
tant part of the education pro-
cess. Thus, the realistic stud-
ent should make every effort to
improve his scores,” added Mrs.
Putman.

The co-editor combination is
becoming a tradition with the
Santa Fe Trail as Shirley Hill
and Susan James prepare to as-
sume their duties as heads of
the 1965-66 staff.
The third consecutive set of co-
editors labored as both staff
members and house representa-
tives this year. Susan was club
co-editor and Willard represen-
tative; Shirlev was emissary to
Barton and feature co-editor.
“I’m deeply appreciative and
I hone that I can prove myself
worthy of such a great honor,"
offered Shirley. “We’ll try our
best to make next year’s annual
the most outstanding ever.”
Susan added, “It’s a great re-
sponsibility, but it is worth it. I
am really looking forward to
next year.”
Besides working on the an-
nual staff, both girls have been
members of Future Teachers,
Future Homemakers and the Ju-
nior Classical League.
