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

When we got in and were get- ting ready to go out on the field we saw the campus police, so Blair, Brent, Robert, and Kurt went to the dugout on the baseball Held and jamie and I hid in the bushes. We waited for about an hour and everyone came to where jamie and I were. We decided we were going to do it so we all ran to the door ofthe locker room on the other side of the field. We sat there for about thirty minutes and then we ran out on the Held and made a WH and the 386' with diesel fuel and ran for the fence. When we got to the fence the stadium lights came on. We all ran. Robert, Blair, and I ran around the block while jamie, Brent, and K urt jumped fences in back yards. Robert got caught on the street by a policeman. Blair and I ran. Blair hid in Kurt's jeep. I hid in some bushes, Kurt got caught going back to his jeep, and jamie and Brent turned themselves in. Blair got caught in the back of Kurtis jeep, and I turned mysebf in. They took me to the station, got our names and numbers and called our parents to pick us up. I 'd do it again, though. My brother did it so I had to. I tls a tradition. When we came back to school, the jhrst thing Webb told us when we walked into his ofjhce was 'You messed upf Thatls all just 'You messed up,. He was right. In-house suspension was miserable.
