NO MORE EXCUSES Nurse For years Mrs. Billie Verrett has devoted herself to help- ing people. Over the years she had been flooded with excuses by students to get out of school. Some excuses proved to be valid, while others were false alarms. Mrs. Verret did more than just nursing. She counseled some students, and did the screening for sight and hearing. Mrs. Verrett has been flooded year after year with excuses, but the most common excuse was the stomache ache. But no more says Nurse Verrett. She found that baking soda, water, and little rest to be most effective. Brandt Haney 7. Examining records of students, Mrs. Verrett, practices caution. 2.

JENKINS CAFE Cafeteria It started with a ripple of a few students entering in the cafeteria, but the ripple was followed by a tidal wave of students flooding the cafeteria. The larger students over- powered the smaller ones in order to get a seat and a spot in front of the lunch line. The school cafe was like a hot spot on the beach. Everyone went there to let their emotion hang out. This often ended up with people throwing food or pulling practical jokes. The More stable students, who were used to the wild cafeteria antics, sat in areas less likely to be soaked by flying food. While people went wild in the eating area, Mrs. Dorathy Kaigler and the lunchroom staff worked frantically to serve all the students with nutricious food. Some students rushed to be first to receive their lunches, while many waited patiently in line, only to find the food to sometimes be a bit radical. Brandt Haney 7.
