West Division High School - Comet Yearbook (Milwaukee, WI)

The flying saucer approached West Division rapidly until it stopped suddenly with a ierk, and then began spinning almost like a top, perhaps fifteen feet above the ground. At this time the student body was gathered on the roof of the building. The march- ing band was going through formations on the lawn. Gradually, the whirling saucer wobbled to a stop. A hatch lifted from the top of the ship and two figures, humanoid in appearance, got out of the ship and lowered a ladder to the earth. As the figures descended, Mr. Will and Eileen Biller, president of the Student Council, came forward to meet them. l'm Will West from the Red Star planet, said the boy, extending his hand in greeting, and this is my sister, Win. Mr. Will and Eileen greeted them pleasantly, surprised that the two space peo- ple could speak English. They found Will and Win had a translator built into their space helmets. After the welcoming ceremonies, Mr. Will suggested that Eileen Biller take the visitors through the homerooms in order to visit the students. Eileen Biller: The homeroom period here is used for discussing school problems and activities, and for doing homework. Win West: On our planet we don't actually have discussions, we just send thought waves. What kind of problems do you discuss? Eileen: Problems with homework, teachers, and problems concerning our sched- ules. 17

Will: We never have problems with teachers or schedules because we receive our education by thought waves sent into our brains by machines while we rest. We don't have to write out our homework, we iust turn the knob on the sides of our heads and after calculating the answers the paper drops out of the back of our head. Eileen: Do you have to buy paper for it? Win: No, our bodies make the paper from the food we eat. Do you do anything else besides discuss things during homeroom period? Eileen: We take attendance, so we know if everyone is present or if some students are absent. Will: Do you get any kind of report to show how well you're doing, seeing you have to do so much work? Eileen: Oh yes, we receive a report card once every six weeks. lt tells how we have been doing in our classes the past six weeks and sometimes, if we receive a bad mark, warns us that we have to improve. Will: Do you often find that you have to improve? Eileen: We-l-I-I-ll I plead the fifth amendment. Mrs. Hyman, Mr. Svitavsky- 126, 130 Row 1-S. Schoemann, S. Riley, E. Quesada. Row 2-R. Czerniak, M.
