“Holding Our Breath” A sign of relief; a sudden pang of anx- iety is found in every homeroom when our homeroom teacher had to give out ... The Report Card. How could a sim- ple, computerized piece of paper attach such relief of a past marking period? But as soon as it is seen, the question whether or not the athletes are eligible to play is answered. The active weekenders knew if they were to be stay- ing home with restriction or not were also anxious to see grades. Some Chop- ticon students chose to hide the report cards for the “bad grades,” (“No Mom we didn’t get our report cards today. Why do you ask?”) Or some preferred to magnetize grades on the refrigerator for the “good grades” (“Sure Mom, would you like to see my report card?” Whether good or bad, it seemed there was always another marking period ahead to strive even higher.
