Plan Features
Double Lunch
"Due to the rapid growth of North Hollywood's student body, we will be going on a split lunch session, starting next February 1," stated Mr. John G. Fox, principal. "This change will at first present several problems, but we feel that such a move is necessary for the continued successful operation of a school as large as North Hollywood has grown to be."
Tremendous Growth Noted
The enrollment, which presently numbers 2,600, is expected to rise to 2,700 next term; and a student body of 3,000 is foreseen by next September. With this rapid increase, the cafeteria, hashlines, and the quad itself cannot be expected to serve adequately all the students at once. The cafeteria itself has only 200 seats.
The split lunch session, already employed by several schools in the Valley, is expected to alleviate cramped conditions. The day's periods will be approximately the same number of minutes they are right now. However, school will begin nine minutes earlier, and end at the usual time.
Periods Divide by Grades
Students will be happy to hear that lunch sessions will not be determined according to buildings, as is now done, but as nearly as possible according to upper and lower grades. In this manner friends will still be able to mingle on the campus. With the arrival of this new schedule, many problems have also appeared. Mr. Fox and the other administrators will be striving to iron out these troubles during the coming weeks. The division according to grades will call for a greater amount of responsibility on the part of all students, because classes in the immediate vicinity may continue to work while other rooms are dismissed to lunch. Also, school organizations such as the Scholarship Society, French Club, and service clubs may be hampered by this double session. This is a problem yet to be solved.
Co-operation Needed
"We are asking all the old students to help us in making this program successful," added Mr. Fox. "Only the whole-hearted support of the entire student-body can put over this change."

Group Entertains
Vets at Sawtelle
Purple-heart veterans of Sawtelle Hospital were entertained last week with a variety show of "music, song, and dance" starring student talent from this school.
"All the acts were outstanding," stated Miss Seda Garapedian, director of the show, "and we could see, from the expressions on the veterans' faces that they really had fun watching the teenagers perform."
Before the show the performers were hosted to a dinner in the main dining room of the hospital by the Motion Picture Association of the Purple Heart.
Les Hoffner acted as master of ceremonies of the variety program and introduced the talent which included: Russell Stratton, Bob Morgan, Dick Haney, Dick Kelley, Bob Cooper, Pat Holbrook {alumna), Bob Williams, Bill Davis, Phyllis Arnone, Pat Masterson, Sandy Freeman, Jared Brown, Jim Rosenberg, Bob Sparr, Judy Taylor, and Marlene Kloss.
Working backstage curtain and lights was Snuffy Harrison. In charge of the entire production were Miss Garapedian, Mr . T. O. Lawson, and Jim Casey, student representative.
