COME BACK YOU SCUMMY THIEF!!!
l cam~ out of the room, fully expecting my red back-pack to 'till be lying on the bench.
"This has got to be a joke.''
It wasn'ton the bench. I know ... it's stupid ... I should never have left it there. but I was only gone a minute.
"This isn't a joke. is it?".
My mother arrived.
"Oh geez!"
I am beginnmg to realize that someone actually had the nerve to steal it. How could they do this to me? "It's gone! ..
Everything is now slung on the back of some other person's back. My mother was really peeved. ''I'll never see it again."
Math and Geography binders aren't really too much to get upset about, (even though I now have no notes).
But what about my wallet?
"I'll never see it again."
''All the pictures of my old friends were in there ." I'll never see them again in real life. Never in pictures again either. They can keep the bag, all I want are the sentimental odds and ends.
"When I find out who did this . . . "
I'll file a lost announcement and l ask around. but nothing happens. I knew it wouldn't.
Nobody is going to give it back. They were stupid to take it. They WQn't be smart enough to give it back. 'Til never see it again."
It's a write-off and I know it. Another sob story caused by high school crime. I don't want a documentary, I want my bag BACK!!
LOST:
- Red Eddie Bauer back pack last seen by the bench by the Guidance Office
- Contains 2 binders, pencils, wallet and make-up -PLEASE GIVE IT BACK!!!
- Jen Smith
CHANGE ROOM CHAT .. .
Q - What was the most sickening thing you have ever seen in a change room? Did it move? Was it alive? What colour was it? Did it have a name?
A - "I saw a moldy tuna sandwich called Eddie and it
danced up a storm every time I slapped it!"
-Kim Scott
CHANGE ROOMS
Oh those smelly phys-ed change rooms
The odour seems to spread
As far as the physics class
It followed me again!
The running shoes aU take their tole
Of athletes foot and such
And the showers . . • well . . .
We don't use them very much.
All gossip is heard loud and clear,
In these small, cramped rooms.
From last nights movie with what's his name, To Paula's mid-week blues.
Many secrets here are shared,
Yes. in the change rooms.
And gossip seems to spread as fast
As Martha's new perfume.
The piles of gym shorts, socks and T's And the sweaty bodies too
Track: and field and badminton
We always make it through.
Until next time when we
must once more meet our doom.
- Carrie Hawton
GE'ITING TO SCHOOL
Q - When going to school in the rain, do you run through the puddles or do you swerve to avoid them?
A·- ''I try to miss them if possible. If it doesn't work out, I swim through them/".
- Cathy Morwood Gr. 12
Often getting to school in the morning in time for the announcements can be quite the chore. You may walk, take a bus or ride a bike, but what happens when your tires are flat or worse, slashed or the dog eats your shoes for breakfast??? The only alternative is to find some other means of transportation. The most inspirational students are those who have found truely creative and W I S E ways o f getting around.
L TOR- Born to be wild, Pauline Verrette and Yvonne Leliveld ride a 'hog' to school/ Oh Dave, you fool! We told you not to ride that bike without a helmet./ Jen Culham and Kim Scott get toed by their local U Hall/ Dean Service and Jeff Watts give Dean Lockhart a push- his dad wouldn't sell him a car./ Kim Higdon ties herself to the door of the first car that passes by.
