Ate It Whic MExPusceDsgre Used Most? 6 6 left it at home! or My dog ate it! There was always an excuse for not having homework, and teachers heard them all, especially in first hour classes. Missing the bus, not having homework in on time, or getting caught doing something wrong, all required the need for an excuse. Betsy Krupp stated, Most people don't do their homework when they're supposed to, and when it comes time for them to turn it in, they start making up excuses to stay out of trouble! Excuses were not only heard at school, but also many times at home. Each weekend parents were given an excuse for something, whether it was to go to the mall, get some clothes, orjust to keep from being grounded. ln gym, more and more excuses were given each day. Most girls used the excuse of twisting their ankles, or feeling sick, so they could get out of gym class! commented Erin Vandergrift. Excuses were mainly a reason for getting out of things people did not want to do. Sometimes they orked and sometimes .......

Angela Wojcik Chad Wolneiwicz Heather Workman Beth Wyckhouse Elizabeth Wymer Gary Wymer Brian Young School Buses Just a Form of Transportation? urry up! Here comes the bus! H A place to linish homework, socialize and prepare for the day at school was provided by the buses this year. Though making it out to the bus stop on time was a bit of a task sometimes, and the ride was bumpy, most students agreed that bus transportation was a good idea. Freshman student Geneva Bellestri stated, lil'm glad we have buses, because if we didn't, I would have to ride with all five of my brothers! Eighth grader Jenny Sowards said, ul like the bus because it gives me time to talk with my friends. I don't like the bus because it takes me to school! stated eighth grade student Tammy Odom, jokingly. The buses also took our sports teams to neighboring schools for their games. On the way home, the athletes could be heard laugh- ing and discussing the victory. After a defeat, it was a place to talk out mistakes and revive that Well get em next time attitude. Butalthough buses are a good, safe form of transpor- tation, it takes a lot of money to provide students with this service. The continuation or dropping of the bus program, depended this year on how much money the school had. F reshman student leana Campey stated, ttl think buses are a good idea because when the teams go to different schools, they can be together and support each other. llm glad we have buses because if we didnt most mornings, my parents wouldn't be able to take me to school. Stated seventh grade representative Carson Hall. .
