'iMy great dune me il. ' -junior Bobby Street X P L A A T I 0 Excuses explain mishaps for those in trouble. xcuses have been used since the beginning of time. Parents, teachers and principals always seemed to ask questions that teenagers didn't have answers for, so naturally, teens just thought up one, or better yet, they just used an excuse. When junior Mike Wilburn was late for his curfew, he told his mom, I ran out of gasg I had to push my car home and my girlfriend wouldn't help me. Not only were students late for curfews, but for class as well. The students discovered that it was very difficult to get up at 6 a.m. and be in class at 8:15. McDonald's drive-thru was closed so l had to go inside. ex- plained senior Stacey David. Getting back to class after lunch always created problems for those who went off campus. lt was hard enough to get to places on time. but we also had to have the materials we needed.

They were fumigating my locker and I couldnit get to it, he said. Junior LaChandra Hall used this same excuse for every situation, lfl told you, then you probably wouldn't believe me. Junior Rebecca Lomaine didn't use this excuse herself, but she said she overheard someone tell a teacher that their books were in a friend's car and the car got stolen. There were almost as many ex- cuses as there were items to lose or to forget. Anytime there was a deadline. an assignment due or a project to tum in, there was always an excuse to explain. oming Up with Justification. Juniors James Cushman and Chris Ladyman try to think of an excuse to give to the teacher for an uncompleted assign- ment. An excuse is the only way out for many students. - .. ,, ,WVVV E, I .2 A 1 fy' ' .IV Hi 5' 't W., by ,tgp , gr L R... f S' 5, tier, .,,, 5. 1 -N.. wt. .
