Last year I was writing a note to Tim Dodson in English class, and Mrs. Humphrey took it up and hung it on the bulletin board, and he read it. I was so embarrassed, said senior, Cheri Dochterman. Cars were another popular way for students to leave their Often enough students found themselves embarrassed because a student caught them writing a note and snatched it up for the entire class to read as they hung it an the front bulletin board, blaring the message, or just handing a nate to a friend and having it wind up in the wrong personls hand. mark. I would shoe polish my car in the mornings before I came to school on game days. But that night before I left for the game I would wash it off because if you don't your car will get keyed, said jeremey Brannon, junior. Other than spirit slogans many students left messages for their friends to see, like MI love Youf' or Honk if you're a PATRIOT. Almost every time I go out to my car after lunch, it has some kind of message of ul-Ionk if you love me,', said senior, Lisa Freeman. When birthdays came, many students showed up to school to find their lockers decorated with balloons and streamers. For others, they might have awakened to see their yards decorated with signs bearing, I-Iappy Birthday, and streamers hanging from the trees. No matter what the note said or how it was written, they always seemed to get the exact message across. Student Life

he same podium has been here for Ellie several years now. It was already messed liz.. up with writing engraved on it. Then ...il my students started doing the same ' cliff' thing. The kids use it for leaving their mark. They would leave notes to their friends and messages to me. I really found it amusing. jason Word, junior, kept telling me that he was going to take it home and sand it, I really didnlt think he would do it and then one day after school I was out ofthe room and came back to jhnd that my podium had been taken apart, with the desk part removed. The next day, jason brought it in all sanded clean. I just hope it stays that way now. Mrs. Linda Bowling OICS. junior, jason Word, takes a break from writ- ing notes on Mrs. Linda Bowling's podium so he could take it home and sand it clean. Students in her French classes used it for note writing. Photo by johnny Taylor 6 Misspelled
