House Bill 72 added hours of extra paperwork for teachers and raised grading standards so thai anything below 70 was failing. The legislation also eliminated most class in- terruptions and required that students take all of their semester exams. Grading system changes especially made a difference for students involvec in extra-curricular activities such as athletics since no student could miss 2 class they were failing in order to par- ticipate in a field trip or competition. As a result of the grading changes, 2 teacher-student tutoring program in al major subject areas was established anc offered before and after school. Local changes mandated by the school board also affected numerous students as freshmen were required tc stay on campus during the lunch houi and only juniors and seniors were allow- ed to bring cars on campus. Another local change reqi j students to carry photo identific cards which were used in the library at school events. All of these changes, some local, statewide, affected the students faculty and made a difference this year. s A new change for all students this year was the requirement to carry a photo identification card. Journalism students Shanna McAnally, Bobby Giese and Doyle Haynes assist with the distribution process. Lanna Ellis, sophomore, shows her taste for florescent colors in her neon green sweater and yellow shirt as she visits with her friends Barbara Wymore, sophomore, Tracy Whine, junior, and Theresa Embry, senior. 4 Making a Difference

However, over the months, this view became obsolete as the construction was completed. r S1 , , l . Iorder to welcome the students back to school, Student Council started off the year with a dance the first Friday. Attendance 'SM was high as all students came out to celebrate the-ir survival of that first week. Because of the ad- dition of more than 500 new students to the school, the dance floor was jammed wall to wall with students dancing to music provided by DJ Brent Green. Making a Difference 3
