A big thank you to everyone, both former students and teachers, who have sent me Dewey memorabilia or allowed me to copy files from their sites! Without you, this collection wouldn't be possible.

I apologize for any inadvertent omissions of names from this list. If you have contributed material to the site and your name does not appear here and you would like it to, you may contact me here to be added to it. Thanks again to everyone for contributing your documents and memorabilia and making this site possible!
Programs from various students have been posted to show that each student had an individual program of study. Uniquely, there were 5 cycles each year. Each cycle was 7 weeks long. This allowed for a dynamic program of study and flexibility in programming. There were many classes, such as Anthropology, Marine Biology, American Dream etc. that were full year courses. Note that some programs are decorated. It made it easier to see what classes one had, and to individualize your program. Free bands were often decorated. For a period of time, there was a 6th cycle during the summer. This allowed for acceleration or just enrichment.
