Problems on the Assembl Line The screaming, cheering, and yelling that people had come to associate with the popular seventh period Pep Assemblies had to take place before the first morning bell rang this year. Public demand for educational reform in Texas ended in a new law which forced DISD to move all non-curricular activities to before or after school. The initial unfavorable reactions of most organizations and individual students lespecially the up- perclassmenl to House Bill 42172, pro- posed by Ross Perot's committee and passed in July of 1984, could have had a huge impact on school spirit. In fact, Senior Janet Hinuanzo summed up the feelings of most students when she said, l liked the assemblies dur- ing seventh period because everyone had more spirit. In the morning we had to rush to make it to class on time, and not many people could make it up here by 7:3O. The difficulty in finding a seat in the auditorium on some assembly days seemed to indicate a serious drawback in support of the special Bison efforts. Definitely, the burden of initiating and spreading spirit among the students fell more heavily on such organizations as the Bisonettes and Pep Squad. Resourceful cheerleaders faced with the difficulty of selling rib- bons no longer required for assembly admissions, added the now-familiar spirit balloons which bobbed about the classroom in large numbers on Fridays. Performance groups practiced and polished their routines and were rewarded by an ever growing group of spirited fans. Although too early for some, gradually Bisons began to rise to the occasion. For the Kimball rally, the traditional sword fight between the arch rivals was replaced by the hottest fad in school, a break dance contest, which preceded the burial of the knight. Both old and new events were cheered by the largest and most en- thusiastic crowd at any morning assembly. In the morning assemblies we had to 2 . rush to make it to Class on time. 4 .
