A birthday salute given by Shelia Ragan, Deanie Gentry, and other catering students sur¬ prised Mr. Curtis in the midst of class. This gave some students much needed time to catch up on the previous night’s homework, or make up an excuse!

“It’s due tomorrow.” Teachers say this with full knowledge that at least 1 student will forget. Like Ms. Carius, shown at right, lecturing. Excuses, Excuses “Good Morning, glad you could join us, even if for a few minutes,” as you walk in late to 2nd period. As you slump in your seat, you watch the teacher’s face as she reads your excuse. “Please excuse this dear child, she was held hostage by some foreign exchange students.” You chuckle with the class as she reads it aloud in disbelief. So tell me really, what’s your excuse? FOR BEING LATE TO SCHOOL I had a flat My dog had puppies Overslept Reminding Mrs. Hammersley of a faculty meeting to discuss the third change in the tardy policy (this year), Mr. Egan states he’s “happy” with the detention policy. : ormer kindergarten music teacfie iann was not accustomed to soi ixcuses’ she heard. ft Betsy Hermann; Concert Choir and Jazz Choir Jackie Herr; Cosmetology I, II, III Clairence Izzard; Auto Body I, II, III Janice Knestrick; Art I and Advanced Art George Lewis; Drafting I, II, III Chuck Lowry; I.C.T.

What’s Up Doc? Left: One of the many, Dr. Howard, joined our staff this year as Director of Special Education and Special Services. Below: Dr. Aubrey, the Asst. Superintendent, discusses administrative detail while at a regular school board meeting with Renea Rigley of WPRW. It was widely known as a phrase that Bugs Bunny coined in his cartoons. Although it was also used as the title to a comedy movid and starred Barbara Streisand, neither had a Ph.D.?! Even still the phrase took on a new meaning when it was used as a question for some of our top school officials, like Dr. Gary Smith, our superintendent, or even Dr. Greig, our vice-principal. To complete a minimum of 8 years after high school working on a degree, only to have people call you ‘Doc’ seems unjust. Or does it?
