By Joe Tidl)all- ---As of August 29, the infamous Lincoln High Tardy bells and Period 3 sound announcements became another part of its history. What started out as a technical problem where some of the sound systems in various classrooms weren't working, quickly turned into a welcome change for both the teachers and students alike. At first, skeptics thought that the plan wouldn't work, that students needed the reminders to be in class on time, but they were soon proven wrong. "All of my classes have been very good, I haven't had any trouble with my students being late coming in or antsy to leave early," said teacher, Ross Tegeler. "(The lack of bells) makes a more dignified and scholarly environment for learning," Tegeler added. Tegeler cited the bells as having even been more of a distraction than they were a help, especially during liis double period American Experience class. "With double period classes there are an incredible number of classes at inopportune times, a seven second bell is long enough to completely wipe out a student's thought,;' he said. There is still some criticism pf the lack of use of the sound system, Students for example have-expressed complaints that they have been ill informed about some extracurricular and out of school activities. "We need the sound announcements because some teachers don't read the daily announcements," senior, Carrie Pierce said. Pierce supported the elimination of the -bells but said the sound announcements were necessary to keep the_students informed.

director, described the scene as "mindless destruction". The band room was not the only place targeted though. Across the hall in photography room 155 nearly 20 cameras were stolen, with each camera worth $100. The Lincoln Police Department is still investigatingthe case, and no arrests have been made. Due to this incident the school administration was not eager to comment on the situation, but among the list of other things damaged were clocks, drinkingfountains, a fish tank and several fish. As of yet, the school system has not commented on any plan for a surveillancesystem being installed.
