You Said What? Most high school students are introduced to cer- tain special traditions each years. One particular noun — plethora — happens to be one of the high points of the students’ junior year. Mr. Pardue, one of the English teachers who teaches this, has good reasons to convey this message to his classes. “The word plethora feels good to the mouth when I say the word,” he said, “It’s words like plethora that separate the educated from those who only know the words, ‘a lot (which they also mis- spell).” Eleventh graders seem more aware of the meaning of plethora than students from other classes. Seniors, acted as if they had memory decay while the fresh- men seemed dumbfounded. One sophomore, Tommy Waltman, thinks of it as “a hick name that sounds like Jethro.” Of course, a year from now, Tommy and a plethora of other students are sure to know the meaning of this word and many others like it. WHICH KIND? HOW MUCH? WHICH SIZE? Sunny Smith and Jon Bryan, members of Ring Staff, hand out a plethora of Josten’s pamphlets to a plethora of students who have a plethora of questions concerning their seniors rings.

Suddenly thrust into the battle zone of C-6, these pilgrim souls set out to make their fathers proud by kidnapping Thomas Jefferson from the walls. In early September, after Pardue and Webb gave the class five tests in one day, the traditional Blah ransom note demanding a minimum of two tests per week and a Pink Floyd Record was found on Mrs. Webb’s desk. An Anti-Blah II organization called Belch was formed soon after Pardue and Webb announced a bonus-point reward for the return of Jefferson and the apprehension of any Blah members. Suddenly, one time Blah II friends tumed traitor. Accused terrorists were threatened with failure. The organization’s power began to slide until Blah II re-established its reign by stealing the Declaration of Independence, and leav ing in its place the Declaration of Blah-depen- dence, which added the Rolling Stones to the list of demands. “Someone had to carry on the tradition,” Terrorist I replied when asked why they risked their futures to become Blah members. ‘‘We felt honored that the original members trusted us enough to allow us the great privilege of carrying on the Blah ideals,” Terrorist 4 added.
