ii Mrs. Quinn No Room! No room. These are the first words that a new teacher at Pinson Valley hears as she begins his or her job and the ones they will most remember for the rest of the year. It takes most beginning teachers several weeks to get used to being in a different place each period. Rumor has it that many have held classes on the roof of the gym during various periods of the school day. The only ones on whom the musical rooms game is harder on than the teachers is the Freshmen. One of the most mind boggling events a freshman will encounter in the strange new world of high school is the disappearance of their teachers. I don ' t under- stand, they mutter. My teacher told me to come back fifth period, and now they tell me it ' s not her class anymore! Many freshmen become ex- tremely distraught over the situation until they are in- formed about the floating teachers, ones for whom there are no rooms available. Eventually the situation is resolved, people learn where they are supposed to go, and everything is fine. Just one thing does anyone know where my English teacher went? She was just here a minute ago. if l Wifb ' C 1 B Miss Pitts -4 ' J Mrs. Roberts 162 Mr. Scott

1 Mrs. Turner Late Again RING!! Watch out, here he comes again! Did he make it? Was he safe or out? That ' s up to the teacher — ha! He ' s out! That ' s the third time this week he ' s been late. Some people, no matter how hard they try to make it to class on time, are always tardy. Tardiness usually results from not paying attention to the time or getting wrapped up in something else. No matter what the reason, though, the end result is always the same; the person who is late gets to sign the autograph book. There was a time when giving ex- cuses for tardiness was popular. Saying the car would not start, the locker got stuck or the last teacher held class too long were popular, while the rare creative students would mention that they were at- tacked by Japanese soldiers who didn ' t know World War II was over or that the floor collapsed beneath them and that they spent the last three minutes at the hospital getting stitches. But that was before. Now, students realize that the breath would just be wasted on teachers without a sense of humor and they sign the late book quitely, sit down, and wonder if they ' ll be late again the next day.
