• » Bomb threat guide And how we did survive T here was a new activ¬ ity added on to Os¬ bourn’s curriculum. It’s called Bomb Threat Sur¬ vival and the object is to survive through the rain, cold, hunger and worst of all — boredom. What to do when bad weather occurs and bomb threats continue? Picnick¬ ing, of course is not the an¬ swer, but one has to make the most of a bad situation. During some of the rainy bomb threats, individuals might try to see just how many people they really could pile in a car. Others play a few rounds of bas¬ ketball in the Baldwin Ele¬ mentary School gym. The majority of the students just stand out in the rain and catch cold. A bomb threat made dur¬ ing lunch made it ideal for some students to have a picnic. However, people who thought they would only be outside a few min¬ utes, left their lunches in¬ side and went hungry. Many students take ad¬ vantage of the atmosphere to broaden their social sta¬ tus. What a better time to start a new relationship by flirting with someone. Many new couples can be seen talking or walking just out¬ side of Osbourn during one of the many long bomb threats.

DURING THE FIRST fifteen minutes of a bomb threat, students would stand around talking, but after awhile they would go looking for a place, like the flagpole or curb to rest. MR. DAVID O’DELL, JOURNALISM teacher, waits for the end of another false alarm. 24 Student Life Bomb Threats

Fun-raising M ost of the clubs and classes in school have to raise mon¬ ey in order to perform many different activities throughout the year. These clubs and classes raise money many different ways, including selling can¬ dy, pizza and flowers. The selling of candy is by far the most popular fundraiser. A student usually cannot go through the day without seeing several people car¬ rying boxes of candy. The reason this is so popular is because it brings in a lot of money for the or¬ ganization. As long as the students continue to buy and eat candy, the clubs are making money. Other organizations make money by having students carry brochures that advertises products. The students then take the orders and deliver the items later. Ex¬ amples of this are the junior class cookie sale as well as FBLA, FHA and many other clubs. Organizations like band and wrestling sell the same thing from year to year in order to gain a following. The band sells pizzas while the wrestling team sells poinsettas at Christmas time. Selling cookies, candy, and pizzas are just a few of the things that clubs, sports, and classes do to raise money. GIVING CHANGE TO Shannoh Fox is Marcella Pascucci after buying a candy bar. MAKING SURE THERE is plenty to buy at the National Honor Society bake sale is Ted Dinklocker and Michelle Turner. 26 Student Life Fundraising
