No Pass, No Play A new idea that may take some getting used to was intro- duced at the start of the year. A no pass, no play rule deter- mined that students who did not receive a D or better in all classes were barred from extracurricular activities for the next grading period. This rule was a state poli- cy, but each school district had a different way of enforcing it. Although the no pass, no play rule did not affect the majority of students, one con- cern was that ath- letes and other stu- dents involved in ex- tracurricular activities might take easier classes just to pass.

Dance ln To Spring oping to put on a spring performance, called Dance Through the Decades, the dance class and twelve-member dance club worked hard to prepare a successful perfor- mance. The dance club included President Mi- chelle Miller, Vice President Nakiya Ramsey, Treasurer Jennifer Gray, Secretary Jenifer Akins, and Historians Tanya Hartman and Brandi Hutzel. The group met Tuesday mornings at seven o'clock to practice. Although the dance club was not a new addition to Marcos de Niza, Mrs. Mize, the dance instruc- tor, hopes the dance club will grow with the addi- tion of the auditorium, which will allow more per- formances.
