Each person attending high school must have an accurate record of basic infor- - mation parents names, addresses, phone numbers, occupations, person to notify in case of an emergency, etc. STUDENTS need a schedule of classes they will be attending during the year. Fees must be paid. Questions about required classes need answering. All this has to be put together before school can begin.

The staff of one high school just inst large enough to operate an efficient school and conduct registration at the same time. tion is complicated FOR THESE reasons, the administration at Layton High School this year called for help. PTSA workers were enlisted to register the students. Besides collecting fees and filling out basic infiromation cards, these volunteers transferred class scheduling information onto 8,000 scan sheets that can be used in a computer program. According to Layton High School Principal Paul Smith, the scan sheet system allows students to select their schedule now. Many class changes and much confusion will be eliminated this year because of the volunteer help.

PHOTOS of people, places, should also be identified. be returned at the end of October. DR. DAY stresses that the photos dont have to date back to the 1850s.

STAFF says the community response was excellent. Some of the volunteers didnt even have students attending Layton High. They were interested in the school system and the young people and they wanted to help. Mrs. VanKampen says one of the main functions of the PSTA is to assist the school in the educational programs. If volunteers can be used to register and do other tasks than the teachers and staff members will be free to put more time into the necessary operation of the school. We are willing to help wherever we can, Mrs. VanKampen says. IF THE volunteers had not assisted in the registration of students, it would have taken the secretarial staff about three weeks to get all the information organized. They would have had to let other matters go and fit in the registration forms with their other clerical work, Mr. Smith stated. Breakfast Sat.
