BUSTED AGAIN!! Simple misdemeanors such as truancy, indecent exposure, un- lawful restraint of a student, dis- obedience of the uniform code, being a hibitual violater of tardi- ness, and disturbance of the class- room, the cafe, and peace in gen- eral were all crimes punishable by law, or in other words. Father Paul Deyo, his jail — the RLC, and his weapons — detentions. When students were asked what they acutally did to be sentenced with no parole to the Restricted Learning Center, otherwise called the Restricted Leaving Center by its prisoners, a variety of answers arose. Truancy, by far, was the number one reason for being a frequent visitor to Father Deyo's office. Also, untucked shirts and rolled pants caused quite a stir, often ending in a fun-filled day of con- finement. Food fights and tee-peeing were also actions that proved to go against the school's policies. Junior Jim Wahl justified his participation by saying, You can't eat the school's food, so you might as well throw it. -V 00 Om -4 ’ gw SOr her, :% , Qfi „°fer 1 Sf0°Z°0s - frn Ch iCL irr -,Qnr i. hOt far,.

A SHADE MORE ■ . . . or how academics went way beyond the lame world of books, calculators and lec- tures. You know, all of this stuff about sports and clubs and parties and activities is great, but what about school? Isn't that the main thing here? What goes on inside the doors everyday? I thought you'd never ask! Of course at any school the academic aspect is really important, but studies took the forefront on the Assumption agen- da. Oh yeah? How so? Well, this school exists only to give students the education they need for their future, whether that be college, the military, a job, whatever. You won't find a huge system here that swallows up kids just to spit them out four years later not having learned a thing. Things get done in a more personal way than you'd expect. In every department there's something that makes it different, things like contests, accelerated classes, tutoring, and of course teachers willing to take time not just to teach a class, but to make that class learn. If I do say so myself, pure excellence. 98
