Van Halen rules as 01 in musical groups for 1985. Enjoying Pepsi and pizza at Dino's are Connie Lee, Sherry Word Susan Horne and Lisa Garrett. fic' 'i Top Quality Taste The third annual LANCE survey was con- ducted once again for the 84-85 school year. Red Knights were asked fourteen questions as to just what a few preferences were in different categories. ' For the third consecutive year, Loni Anderson and Tom Selleck were the top actors. Pizza remains in first place for favorite food, but close behind it was a juicy steak. Now a place to eat the food was needed. McDonalds was the best place. lf fast food was not your cup of tea, Dinos was the next best restaurant. To wash down this delicious food, Red Knights chose Pepsi to be just the thing, with Coke or Dr. Pepper as a second or third choice. lt is easy to see that once Knights have chosen a favorite, they usually keep it their favorite.

Ready with Tom Rojshavongs pink unexcused is Ms. Ann Ragland, meanwhile Mrs. Barbara Vagle records it Due to a few extra z's, Joyce Williams gets an unexcused absence from Ms. Ann Roalond , , ,,,f n'x lx lff A, An Unwelcome Looks of dismay speckled the corridors as students read their grade cards and discovered the new code - I - no credit due to excessive absences. The State Department of Education realized that student absenteeism had become a major problem and therefore, initiated the new nine-day absence policy to remedy the situation. The law basically meant that if a student missed more than nine hours of a class, he was not to be awarded credit for that class. Reactions to the policy were varied among students, faculty, and staff. Some felt as did senior Sherry Word, that the law Absentee N mmw-N .WSNQN Policy as unnecessary. lf we can come to school for three days a week and make the same grades as when we come for five, why not miss those two days? Some felt the atten- dance policy was beneficial. As art teacher, Mr. Levone Simms stated, lf a stu- dent isn't directly participating in a class, he's still learning something by just being there. The primary reason this law was passed, stated Principal Mr. Ed Stickles, is many students were spending just too much time out of class for various reasons. lf a student misses more than nine hours, he will be required to take a state test to decide whether he receives credit for the course. lf the student doesn't pass the test, he will receive no credit even if all other requirements for that class have beenf met. Numerous Red Knights felt the im- mediate effects of the attendance policy, yet the long term effects are yet to be evaluated. ln the meantime, North High students received brand new alarm clocks for birthdays or Christmas so they would avoid the consequences of nine hours of absence from class.
