"THE OWL'S HOOT" A STUDENTSY IMPRESSION OF OPENING WEEK Homerooms are no longer designated as such, but instead are called "tribe" rooms, room there are students from every year. In each tribe Each of the four the Grace Baptist Church on Friday evening Septembef houses is divided into two tribes; e.g. Canuck House is divi- ded into two tribes, Canuck - A and Canuck B. It is hoped that the tribe system will engender a fellow- ship between the students of all years and thus contribute to school spirit. Another change was the switch to the ungraded Sytem! in which students study at various levels, With subject promo- tion, the fear of failing an entire year is eliminated. This year, a wider selection of subjects is available to all stu- dents and each student determines the number of credits he feels capable of carrying during the school year.
