Jeff admitted that he had an adjustment in getting used to not having girls ln his classes, but feels that there is less of a distraction from the academic aunosphere. "One misconception I would Jack comlike to correct, mented "is that Just because By MERLYNN WILKER Young Americans Writer Why would a student choose to attend a parochial school instead of going to public school which he might nor- mally attend? How do students cope with the extra academic distractions characteristic ot public schools? And is there one school that is better than the others? These are three of various questions a quartet of students answered for each other in an impromptu discussion of pros and cons of attending public and parochial schools. Students representing public schools were DeLois Lott of Granger and Bill Daum, vice president of West High. Representing parochial schools were Jack Jensen, a Catholic, and Jeff Hansen, a who attends Judge Memorial High, which is a fc t; :: 4 i religious, Mr. Jensen Mr Danm Miss Lott ln some humanities, such as psychology, but pointed out that major courses needed for college preparation were being taught at Judge. The fact that Judge is a religious school does not mean students are being religously indoctrinated. Students are required to take one religion class. Jack emphasized, "We dont always have church dogma thrown at us. An appropriate subject for Mr. Hansen DeLois Lott to bring up is the lack of coeds' presence on campus at Judge MemoriaL I would think that you would miss the social interchange and contributions girls have to make ln classes," said DeLois. I really appreciate hearing a girls viewpoint on any discussed," Bill subject added. The main attribute of having girls around campus is does we are not mean that we are antisocial and don't even date. Our social exchange with coeds comes after school." is Another atmosphere prevalent ln public schools Is that of fashion competition. But both DeLois and Bill agreed that this competition was part of the total development of the individual. As Bill put it, This Is a students important way of being Individu- tot al and being oiJy himself." Judge students wear a blazer and tie with shirt and slacks and any inkling of fash ion would competition be practically nil. Both .boys commented that it is easier to get used to and like than other students even realize. Because of the formality at a parochial school it is often that discipline is thought extremely strict as compared to public schools. Both stu. dents from Judge contradict-ethis belief, commenting that the "strict discipline is exercised by the students themselves. The students are their own disciplinarians.- In summary of their discus-sioall four students d feelings which amounted to "no one can really say this school or that school is better than any other., Each school has its own personal!. d n pom-bine- ty- - Shidents voice pride in the school they attend and should do so because that is the school which is meeting their - needs. dlllllllllllllilllillllllli school.
