Searching Informants during the robbery. I was hoping the scoundrel would make his move. The trap was set. I staked out the school on a Saturday night. I hid in the office under a desk. It was pitch dark. Suddenly, I heard the door creak¬ ing open. Someone walked across the room ... and stepped on my hand that was sticking out from under the desk. I jumped out, grabbed the culprit, and threw him to the floor. I had him now! I ran and flipped on the lights. It was the principal. I helped nim up, dusted him off, and apologized ... again and again. Just then, we heard a car peeling out of the parking lot... It was a black and white Volkswagen . As usual, I had come to another standstill. It seemed every time I came close to getting a real clue, it would end up being a dead end. As I was walking down the halls of the building I was to in¬ vestigate, I came across a strand of hair. My heart leapt — A clue!

Key Suspects A Trap more than a little discouraged with the case, seeing as there were so many suspects and so few clues to go on. But I didn ' t. Being the talented and in¬ genious (traits that have made me famous the world over) detective that I am, I con¬ tinued on, undaunted, looking for clues. I concluded that unless I wanted to continue going nowhere fast on this case, I was going to need some help. I needed more inside informa¬ tion than what the students were giving me, but I didn ' t really know who could be trusted. I knew I had to ask some responsible, logical people. Well, I asked the teachers anyway. Because of the nature of the word informant, I expected these people to inform me on important happenings around the school. Was I ever mistaken. All they wanted to do was to discuss such things as quadratic equations, adver¬ bial clauses, the mole and Avagadro ' s number. Why should I care how many avocados a little furry creature can eat? I decided to make it known that there were five diplomas that were in the principal ' s desk, not in the safe. This page courtesy of Pershing National Bank

This was a most peculiar strand of hair. It was rather thick for a single strand of hair. Then I noticed that it was — well, it was kinky, as though it had a permanent in it. Then, my keen private eye noticed something that had escaped me before. The hair was blue! I picked up my clue and left. The next day, I walked around the school try¬ ing to discover who had a blue, kinky head of hair. Well, I spent the whole day looking, and never found the suspect. That evening, I decided to at¬ tend a ball game at this school to further investigate my latest clue. The game was about to begin and the cheerleaders ran out on the floor and began to do the school song.
