(continued from page 3) You step outside for some fresh air and you see a boy sitting on the bottom step, plucking at a blade of grass. He looks kind of sad. So you ask him what his problem is. He tells you that you wouldn't understand. But you insist. Resignedly, he shrugs his shoulders and begins like this: Two years ago, when I was in seventh grade, I told my parents that I wanted to quit school. They looked at me and said that it wasn't their fault. I had to go to school because there is a law that makes me go either until I graduate from eighth grade or until I become 16 years of age. So, I said, o. k. , and waited to graduate from eighth grade. But when the time came, I asked my parents again if I could drop. They yelled and yelled a loud 'NO' to me several times. They tell me now that I'll have to wait until I’m 16, then I can do anything I want. But I don't believe them anymore. I think they want me to go to college like my brother, Frank. I guess I'll have to do what they want. School — ugh! From our point of view, these are but a few of the reasons why we come to school. Some students come because they like to learn, some want to be successful in their adult vocational lives, some want only to make friends and have fun, some are pressured into coming, and some come because they like hot pastrami and pepperoni on rye sandwiches. There are also many other reasons and if they were to become stars, they would fill the heavens. School is truly a peoples' happening, and we, as students are individuals. What makes school your happenin'? With the help of a few juniors, a freshman can go a long way.

Now is the time for all students to come to the aid of their delinquency, for in high school they are involved with many other students and activities. One of the many attractions at school was the pie eating contests. At one of the pie eating contests Mr. Cooley seemed to have the biggest stomach and most gigantic appetite. Also Terri Gardner must have a fairly big mouth to be able to chew five pieces of bubble gum and blow a bubble to win fame and glory for one whole day. These are but a few of the many great and hilarious activities in which students participated. Through the next few pages are a few of the activities, which ended their delinquency.
