He finally asked my mom to do it for him, senior Debbie Bradley said. But, it wasn't just boys that had it rough. At Sweetheart, my date, while trying to pin on my boutonniere, tore a hole in my brand new shirt. I had to go and totally change my clothes, sophomore Mike Fletcher said.

Sometimes one actually found an excuse: a death in the familyg a really hard test that you have to passg a visit to the doctor. Some excuses were original: I had four flat tiresg I need to get my car fixedg it's a holiday--my ff? birthday! The best ones were the classic ones which even Mom didn't really believe: itls too nice outsideg I missed so much school last week I need to stay home to catch up. Of course, there were the excuses that held no logic at all: it's Monday or Friday: I was there yesterdayg I didn't sleep very well last nightg I had too much fun this weekend. The best excuse of all was being sick. But if it was up to Mom, the judge, she always said, No fever, NO WAY! if Q 4 l 1 The Surprise of a new snowfall encourages Derek Duke, Missy Fetterhoff, and Sharon Ehrhardt to begin a snowball fight after school.
