38 X RED TAPE PAY IT OR LOSE IT was the message. Students either purchased a S5113 park- ing decal or watched their car be tow- ed away. The admlnlstratlon dld warn before tow day arrived by placing notices on each car. Nevertheless, a few neglected to purchase the decals and suffered the consequences. Red Tape r ou can't get something for nothing' This familiar cliche describes the problems students faced when it came to cutting through the school's policy, better known as red tape. For every right, privilege, or responsibility offered to a student, there was an attached string. If students wanted to be ab- sent from class for a field trip or student activity, a request-to- be-absent form had to be sign- ed by each of the students' teachers. The accomplishment of this task was often difficult, especially if a student was behind or working below capacity in a class. Posters needing to be hung in the concourse to announce dances or welcome our new principal, required assistant principal's Mr. Glenn I3ailey's signature in the corner of each banner before it was permitted to be put up. This prevented the presence of misspelled words or derogatory com- ments on a poster. In addition to these red tape stipulations, students found themselves: suspended if a faculty or security member caught them attempting to leave campus, faced with a five percent decrease in their grade if three absences were discovered to be unexcused, and left without transportation as they watched a tow truck haul away their car, which was, by the way, bearing no 55.00 parking decal. Seniors, looking forward to the day when PPHS red .tape would bind them no longer, were restrained until they had most assuredly successfully completed the state assesment test and collected all their man- datory Twenty-TWO credits.

Much to their dismay, the burden of filling out college applications and applying for scholarships revealed to seniors that one is never free from red tape. Un- fortunately, it gets worse. These situations conveyed the difficulties students were confronted with while trying to achieve everyday tasks that red tape had made more troublesome. The statement 'You can't get something for nothing' certain- ly rang true at PPHS and sometimes that's what students settled for - nothing. NOTHING WAS EXEMPT: even grai tion was bound by the ever pre red tape. Like every other se Robert Hope was measured b Balfour representative for his cap gown.
