    “We’d get a lot done,” Lyvers said.
    It was during their second hour “planning period” that Lyvers and Miller, along with fellow junior Alex Isaac, began work on a petition to change specific, and what they deemed unfair, aspects of the school’s dress code.
    Change came much more quickly than Lyvers anticipated.

    Several hours of arguments, debate and impassioned pleas last Thursday to prevent a developer from building a subdivision off Harry Wise Road won’t likely amount to a thing.
    Larry Cann can and almost certainly will build his subdivision. The only real question is how many homes he’ll be allowed to build.
