Randy Enos Dolly Felix Lily Fong American Gov't Physical Education Cooking EXCUSES, EXCUSES But really! It's in my locker!! , no dice. That excuse doesn't work with teachers anymore, especially since that term paper was assigned September second,. and here it is January twelfth, the day it's due. Try again , says the teacher With a menacing gleam in his eye, amuse me. How does one tackle this seemingly impossible situation? Senior Staci Walker explains how she would use creative genius and outrageousness to escape. would begin by explaining that I knew it had been assigned four months ago and that I had done it, but . . . Get ready here it comes. Well, you see, first, I lost the questions, but I couldn't answer them anyway because I couldn't find any of the books in the entire Bay Area! I did find the questions but I could't understand the books!! Luckily, two months later, I was ready to write. But see, that was when we had to go to Maui, for Christmas vacation, so I took all of my stuff with me. One day, I was on the beach, and this big wave came and before I knew it, everything was carried off to sea!!! And you better believe that some fish is getting the education of his life!! Go to your locker and get your term paper, Staci, the teacher didn't buy that one either. Sophomore Nicole Patterson has a somewhat similar plan to get out of this one. I started out in November, but didn't actually start my rough draft until December. We had to go to Switzerland for vacation, so I decided to do it there. Well, when we were in our chateau, a blizzard came, broke a window near my desk and blew the papers near the fireplace. I saved them but as I did, I tripped over some skis, broke my left leg, and my right arm as well. I'm right-handed, I couldn't write. I tried to type it, but the keys on my typewriter were all stuck. I finally hired someone to take it down as I recited it from memory, and I did finish it, but I left it at home. Here's a pass, go to your locker Nicole. So is that what it takes to get out of a sticky situation like this? Going to Maui or $w1tzerland and breaking a few bones? But even then, teachers still don't believe :t.0What 5 wrong with them? But, then just maybe, telling the truth might work 0 . - Jennifer Ikuta Haide Foust-Whitmore Special Education Lawrence Gowen Algebra Bernice Grosso Amer.

62 John Mengel Sallie Lett Diana McClelland ' Black Literature English Chemistry Life Instead of Teaching What would our faculty members be doing if they weren't teaching at J.F.K.? Imagine, if you will, Mr. Picciotto having a natlonW1de popcomlcandy stand chain to help support his vast corlnputei' em- pire? What if Mr. Dansky decided to market McDansky s Dellaous Donuts, and to use the proceeds from it to buy more toy trams and become the world's 1H toy train collector? And finally, after taklng his comedy act on the road, could Coach Wilson sell the idea of the Bob Wilson Comedy Hour to NBC? tO.K. . . . maybe make it a half- hour showlb Those are just some made-up ideas about what some of our faculty members might be doing if they weren't teaching at J.F.K. Here's what a few teachers' career plans are if they weren't here at Kennedy. If Ms. Kavaler wasn't a chemistry teacher, she says she'd either be, A pro bike racer, or, be a professional student go back to school. Mr. Fred Gonzalez would utilize his artistic skills and be A commercial artist working in advertising, and would also like to work in ceramics and jewelry. Mr. Gonzalez also adds that if he didn't have to work at all, he'd be backpacking and hiking all around the world. Mr. Enos says, If I weren't a teacher, I would probably be making trouble for those that believe mediocrity is good enough! Maybe law, maybe politics . . These teachers have got some pretty good plans for if they weren't in their present line of work. It even seems pretty easy to imagine them doing the jobs mentioned above. But Mr. Picciotto's pop- comlcomputer empire instead of Apple Computers? McDansky's Donuts instead of Winchell's? And Bob Wilson instead of Bill Cosby? Well, maybe not after all. - Jennifer Ikuta .
