10:30, 12:30, OR 2:30 AM — it all ADDS UP TO ... CURFEW ---- Todd Ripper, senior, exhibits the slide the screen entry after curfew Roughly translated from ancient Swahili, the word curfew means the party’s over. Of course, parties today are much better than those in ancient times, but Swahilian teenagers were just as upset to leave a mating dance as American teenagers are. The saying All good things must come to an end” is the closest justification one can possibly think of for a curfew. After all. mom and dad can only worry about their offspring until a certain hour of the morning. Parents seem to have the mistaken impression that once their child is in bed. he or she is there to stay. Surely Dad and Mom can remember that windows are handy escape devices. One might say that curfews are like a little brother. They are both annoying; they get in your way; you despise them, and yet. you still must live with them. Of course, some students are lucky enough to have liberal parents (i.e. 11:30 weekdays and 2:00 on weekends); whereas others must endure conditions similar to those imposed on a looting populace after a tornado or a military coup (i.e. 10:00 weekdays, and midnight on weekends). Is the discipline good for students? Somehow most Glen-woodites seem to be under the impression that they won’t live long enough to find out. Just remember that breaking a parental curfew is punishable by death, electrocution, and heavy fines in the State of Illinois. C’est la vie! Brett Dial (left) shows the sliding door entry.
