Natalie Small, also a sophomore, agrees that last year’s bell was clearer and she could tell the difference of what announcement was coming. Both students were asked about the effectiveness of the new bell. Chase expresses that “it’s not a bell you would pay attention to or something that gives urgency.” In contrast, Small claims that it does not matter and “there still will be students wandering the halls no matter the bell.” According to both students, they both preferred last year’s intercom announcement because they both claim it “runs smoothly, is more recognizable, and was easy to distinguish from the bell’s intercom.” </p><p>Overall, the new intercom system is still having mixed opinions from students. Until it changes with new technology, the intercom system and bell at Goffstown High School will stay the same. </p></div></body>
