'Hate frto t6c “ilteipfuf Contrary to the generally accepted opinion, librarians do have a sense of humor. However most of the time we have to hide it, or rudely laugh in our patron's face. Here are ten of the best excuses for not returning library ma- terial on time that had me biting my tongue. 1.1 went to Colorado and took the book with me, and I don't know where it is. 2. Oops! It's in my locker. 3. I lent my book to a friend. 4. George (don't remember if George was her dog or her baby brother) chewed the corner. 5. 1 am moving, so I packed my book in a box and I don't know which box it is in. and my mom won't let me unpack them to look. 6. We'll mail the book to you. 7. I spent the holiday with my fa- ther and left my book at his house. He lives in Chicago. 8. My mother is reading my book. 9.1 left the book in my desk in the English classroom and now it’s gone! 10. I don't remember signing that book out! But it sure looks like my signature.

fan Ccfa Atchison High is a fairly easy place to make friends. Luiz Car- doso, the foreign exchange student said he was made to feel very wel - come while he was here. Other new students were recognized and made to feel at home, too. Theresa Worman, who moved here from Wisconsin, commented on the hospitality of the AHS students: I realize it must be hard for people to accept me because I'm different but they've been great at helping me adjust to the new school. While new students are being welcomed, old friends remain old friends”. Seniors Jerry Dudley and Adam Birch have been good friends since birth. Some of the crowds at Atchison High formed during high school, while some crowds have been just about the same since Kindergarten. Kristen Reno and Kilee Ligget, juniors, have been close friends since their grade school years at Franklin Ele- mentary School.
