House Bill 72 House Bill 72 was a new selected provision from an act passed by the 68th legislature. This new bill was affecting all of the students in many different ways. The bill passed a new policy con- cerning extracurricular ac- tivities, that states any stu- dent shall be unable to par- ticipate in any extracurricular activity sponsored by the school district if during the grade reporting period after a grade reporting period in which the students received a grade lower than a 70. The bill did not only change this, but also the amount of absences a student was allowed. A student could not be given credit for a class if the student had more than five days of unexcused absence during a semeter. School day interruptions are strictly frowned upon. This includes nonacademic ac- tivities such as an- nouncements and sales pro- motions. Announcements were limited to emergencies only after they had been made once during the day. Students could be promoted only on a student's academic achievement. To be promoted, a student had to maintain a grade average of 70 or he or she could not be given credit for the course. The matter that real- ly got the most attention of all actions taken was the new final examination policy. A student could not be exempted from an exam in any class which any other student was required to take afinal exam. Students were not the on- ly ones being affected by this bill, teachers were also affected by the new tutorial services being offered. A district could require a stu- dent whose grade in a sub- ject for a grade reporting period was lower than 70 on a 100 point scale to at- tend tutorials in the subject during the following report- ing period twice per week or more. This required each teacher to stay until 4:30 each day. Teachers could not have less than 8 days of inservice and preparation for each school year. Each school district had to pro- vide for no less than 175 days of instruction for students. This bill made the students much more alert and aware of their perfor- mance, grades and conduct. This year the bill was still new and the students were getting used to it. Hard Work pays off Students put forth effort to meet House Bill 72's new rules.

Guys 84 Dolls This year the drama, choral, Band, and any aspiring actors in the student body, put on the musical production of Guys 81 Dolls. With elaborate costumes and scenery the play was a hit. The story is about a social worker, two gamblers and an entertainer with an accent who shows us what life in the big ci- ty is all about, it had a happy ending by the way! We thank these people tor their time and energy in producing this play, and who knows, we may see the names of some of our fellow classmates in the bright lights some day. 'lSmile, or you're off the Crew! -'Wig Dean stands up and gives his testimony Adelaide and her Dolls show us what they've got.
