r-an I ll V... Sheryl Wehllng Bill Wels Peter Weiss Julie Wlngert North Enders past revealed by secret source O.K., now remember our deal. You can prlnt this in the book but I don't want my name connected with anything that is said here. All right? I had just joined 0'Gorman's yearbook staff and I was on my first big assignment. Before this all I had worked on was the Index pages but now I had a chance to break wide open the biggest story ever dis- covered. I had received a call from an anonymous tipster early this morning. The man had told me that he knew I needed to write some exciting senior copy. I asked him how he knew. He said, The way I know Is not Important. I have a blg scoop for you on some seniors at 0'Gorman. It Involves the North End kids. The North End klds? What about them? Just meet me ln the auditor- ium backstage at 3:00 p.m. There is one condition, he paused. What? You do not see my face and you don't reveal my name In your copy. Agreed? nyes. U His insistent questioning brought me back to the business at hand. Is lt a deal? I'm sorry, yes. Please begin. O.K. It must have been about 6 or 7 years ago that I was a recreation counselor at Terrace Park. It was a tough job, you know. You had to keep the kids busy and let me tell you, that was hard. The hardest time I had was the time I had the North End kids - Pat Lalley, Clay and Dan Boyum, Dave Butler and the Kunkel brothers. They came up to me the first day the park opened and told me that last year's counselor had had to quit. Why? Don 't Interrupt. Like I was saying they told me about the last counselor they had had. Well let me tell you I had a time. They'd start these surprise mud fights by hook- ing up the hoses. Their favorite trick was to accidentally klck the balls into the lake. Did you have to go and get the balls? Of course. I remember one time we were playing softball and I slid into second base and ripped my pants, I swear they had something to do wth that. 'But you're not sure? About what? About the pants being their fault. UNO. n I I can't print speculation. Well, O.K. the last thing I can tell you is about the Slurpie runs. ExplaIn. We'd drive down to the nearest 7-11 and get Slurpies. They used to love that. Well thank you for your help . . . Mr. Basche. I walked slowly away. At top: Brad Elkjer strolls to his next class. 77
