mmc me Se ee When It Rains, It Pours When it rains, it pours . . . Two hundred and thirty-five leaks in one school doesn’t sound possible but it’s true. Since the school was built in 1968 the roof has leaked. Senior Susan Cle- ments said, ‘The roof should have been repaired long before this.” There was no better person to take this complaint to than our Principal Mac Lancaster who said, ‘Everytime we get some repaired, new one’s start.” He also added, ‘‘We don’t pay them here at the school. The county office drew up a private contract for Burns and Crest, so that if either school should need something repaired the work would be done and it was up to the school board to pay the costs.” In 1978, they tarred the school roof. Senior Mitzi Wilson said, ‘’l wouldn’t want them to fix the roof during school again because the smell just doesn’t agree with me.” Junior Jackie Barner complains on how the roof leaks in the newspaper room. She said, ‘’They claim to have fixed the roof, although they may have tarred the building, the water still creeps through the ceiling.” On the first day of the mid-term exams Mr. Craig Jenkins came to school as usual. He walked straight to his room ( 210) unlocked his door, walked in, and turned on the lights and listened to the water dripping from the roof. All of a sudden there was a splatter; Mr. Jenkins then rushed to see what was the matter; There he found the proof; First it was a leak; But now there’s a hole in his roof.
