Ho1neroontEnforce1nent ClearsNoisyCorridors

by Michael Grossi

The recent strict enforcement at Oyster River High School of attendance period regulations has been very effective in keeping students from wandering the halls, according to Prin. Gerald Daley.

Last Tuesday Mr. Daley announced that a full day detention would be given to any student found 1n the hallways during attendance period. This came as a result of students wandering the halls, distracting other classes, and basically disrupting the attendance proceedure, said Mr. Daley.

"It's not a case of new rules being made here. It's just enforcing old ones," said Hr.Daley.
