ou'd think that I'd get some respect from people around here, but I don't. They take care of the other plants around campus, but they don't bother with me. Even the new trees that the Ecology Club planted get more attention than me. Nothing that this school ever does has anything to do with me. If I did leave, I'm sure no one would even notice. Little does everyone know that I could tell a complete story of Marysville High School. I'm like a history book of MHS. I've seen it all. I've seen buildings being built and buildings being torn down, I've seen teachers come and I've seen students cruising the lot in their '51 Hudsons and now in their '77 Camaros. I could tell you about every style, fad, student, all the excitement during the days of the Big-Little Game, every new car or change that has taken place here. But does anyone really care? This year they even made a motion picture here. I bet I don't even get in it. l'd like to think it was because of me that they chose this school to make a movie. Wishes, all wishes. I wonder if other trees feel the same as I do. I'm sure that trees in the forest don't. They probably live a peaceful and enioyable life. They have 5 nothing to worry about. They know nothing will ever happen to them. They don't know the feeling I have when those cars swerve at me, missing me by inches. I know one day one will hit mel But they will be the one that will get hurt. I'm much stronger than a piece of chrome and steel. The only thing that might hurt me would be a bulldozer or something like that. But they wouldn't get a bulldozer near me,. . .unless they wanted to remove me. Ha. But no, they wouIdn't remove me. . .they couldn't remove me. I've been here too long. lt would take too much time and cost too much money. They wouIdn't waste all that money on a stupid tree when they could buy new books or new equipment for the gymnastics classes. It would bother people's consciences if they cut me down. Wouldn't it? the story 5
