-MISDEME CRS This year will be most notori- ous, at least in terms of crime, for the shooting ofjunior Keith Woolridge in front of the school on Dodge Ave. This crime was not school-related, however. The bullet came from across the street and was aimed at someone else. Police suspected that the argument that had broken out prior to the shooting was gang-related. However, Keith was an inno- cent by-stander who hap- pened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. The administration's reac- tion to the shooting was to en- force stricter rules concerning the campus and to set up counseling for anyone who was upset by the shooting. However, as security officer Robert White explained, the in- cident was frightening but did not pertain to the school, and the students got over it quick- ly. Keith, the victim of the shooting, agreed. l'It was just an incident. lt didn't have any- thing to do with the school it- self. Keith added, however, that the security guards aren't good enough. How they- 're trying to be strict about the campus, but there's no need because now no one's across the street fighting. No one TOP - Unfortunately, grafitti is a wide- spread art fomi at ETHS. RIGHT - The security office 18 Crime wants to be there now. Keith maintained that he thought the shooting would not have occurred had there been secu- rity guards outside in the first place. The most prevalent cnme this past year was locker theft. However, as White pointed out, most burglarized lockers were left unlocked rather than broken into. Senior Joanne Herenberg was one student who didn't have anything stolen from her locker. 'Through careless- ness we left the lock hanging on the handle. Thanks to one of the student welfare officers, my locker was security-locked and I was saved from much ag- ony and distress. I give the lthumbs-up' to those hall monitors. Overall, White saw no partic- ular problem with crime at ETHS nor any one area that needs to be worked on. There are a lot of people in this build- ing, and we're talking about teenagers, he said. There are bound to be fights and thefts. Students are students no matter where you go. - by Erica Froker
