GAZETTE Vandalism had never before been a problem for the school. There had always been a clean record, but the morning of October 30th changed all that. Those who ap- proached school from the front saw blue and white grafitti scrawled across the front office, the pressbox, and the Capturing the Chal- lenge” seal. Phrases such as Go Big Red and Chargers Rule” were also found on the raquetball courts. McClintock High, a usually responsible school, accepted the blame. The Charger Stu- dent Council voted to pay for the damage done, but since the cul- prits were minors, their parents were held re- sponsible for their chil- Rivalry became hostile and prompted students to act rashly. Graffiti Coping with death is hard if it’s A Tragic End With the suicide death of Lisa Markham, a new group was formed to help those who felt suicidal or needed to deal with the suicide of a loved one. At least 35% of teens had been affected by suicide. But everyone needs to know more about this tragic occur- rence. People need to un- derstand why someone would want to end their life. Usually a series of events triggers suicide, not one single event. A death in the family can be devastating as di- vorce. Breaking up a re- lationship shouldn't be taken lightly. This can add to the feeling of be- ing unwanted and re- sult in suicide. Pressure and family troubles also contribute to the cause. What should a per- son do if a friend threatens suicide? Listen to the problem and see if you can help. Tell them how much you care about them and the part they play in your life. Lastly, if your friend is considering sui- cide, be sure to tell a family member, they may be able to help. Suicides can be pre- dren's actions. The damage, though extensive, was relatively easy to clean up. The paint was fresh, so M.P.S. workers did not encounter much trouble in sandblasting the gra- fitti off. They had ar- rived early that morn- ing before the artwork had com- pletely dried. The vandals from McClintock didn't get away with their crime. Within hours, they were caught and suspended for five days. Since there was no retaliation, the adminis- tration felt we dis- played very mature be- havior. A few McClintock students scrawled messages like this one across the entire cam- pus. vented if you see the warning signs. Depres- sion or any sharp change in a person's behavior is a sign. Also, if this person is begin- ning to use alcohol or drugs heavily, they are probably trying to es- cape. Take all threats seri- ously, and show the person how much you care by helping them. 2 4 V.P. The stu- dent body elections in 19 8 7 brought to Student Council two student body VP's. First, to share these duties were J a c q u e Brown and Chris Sar; were the re- sult of a mix- up in the elections. Many stu- dents felt two VP's would never work. The administra- tion thought it the only fair thing to do, but some students thought the decision was merely a cop-out . The deci- sion proved successful. Because of the many re- sponsibilities. Council di- vided the of- fice into Sen- ate and Elec- tions.
