House bill 72 hits with a Bang Even before school started people began to hear more and more about House Bill 72. Then school started and we met House Bill 72. Though some of changes didn't affect us right away, they were there. Such changes as no Senior exemptions, limits put on the number of days that could be missed for school activities, and eligibility rules. There were also restrictions on pep rallies and on assemblies. All you heard from the class of 85 was, l'm glad l'm getting out of here. Education was the hottest topic on campus.
