pinions Evolve Among Changes About the school bond issue - I think that the public didnit care enough about the bond issue the first time and I encourage them to vote for it if they have a second chance. - Bill Hart, junior About the junk food ban - I think that if by now we aren't able to choose what foods we eat, we shouldn't be in high school. - Mark Anderson, Senior lr . li . joe jordan, Student Life Editor, interviews Mark Anderson.
