This is the fifth alaim wo ve had today, and It's only third hour Fire ... Fire ... Fire! This was an order which was not likely to have been believed this year as fire drills became an everyday occurrence. Like the villagers who wouldn’t believe the boy who cried Wolf! , students began to regard the alarms as just a routine break in the day. In the beginning only a few students took part in the false alarms. But like a new fad. more students began to join in and add to the number of alarms being pulled. However, as the number of alarms increased, so did the concern of both the teachers and administrators. Suddenly faced with this disciplinary problem, principals decided that some type of deterrent was necessary. Those who were caught and found guilty of pulling the alarms were suspended and eventually expelled. As news of this punishment spread throughout the entire building, the number of false fire drills which occurred each day quickly fell to zero. Above: As victims of yet another false fire alarm.
