Robinsdale Armstrong High School - Gyre Yearbook (Minneapolis, MN)

Page 31 text:

Mr. Svihel regularly rejects offers of anything and everything. (What do you expect of the teacher who helps you in the math resource and then keeps the scratch paper?) Sneaking through a window can be dangerous and daring, too. thought it was day five! Forge a note saying you visited the nurse. Have someone scream mouse, or spi- der, whichever one you prefer. Claim that you have contact problems. I ' m just a freshman, what do you expect? I was talking to my coun- selor. My friend broke her leg and I had to carry her books for her. Get down on your hands and knees and beg, cry if you have to. Note: Yearbook does not officially endorse any of the preceding, and we also encourage those to get to class in time to avoid having to use any of the above excuses. It helps to do your work on time too.

How To Survive In Class • • • Survival Tips For Underclassmen Because we at the yearbook know that not everybody is as industrious as the model student pictured to the right, we have provided these two pages for those who are not yet used to dealing with the pressures of school. There are certain classes at RAHS that go beyond requiring a know ledge of the subject matter. For such a class, one must also develop a series of flaw- less survival tactics. At the top of students list is bribery, a rather dangerous but effec- tive ploy with some Armstrong teachers. Certain teachers, it is rumored accept bribes of various types to cover the unmen- tionalbe sin of skipping a class, or forget- ting a report. Such teachers are few in num- ber and are unrecognizable for those who find bribery repulsive. A great looking can of diet Coke and a big, juicy red apple are just some of the bribes that teachers are thought to accept. Other ways to survive a class which becomes too boring to handle include doodling, very popular among the creative and the artistic of Armstrong, counting the holes in the ceiling panels, a practice freshmen seem to enjoy and finally, a very popular practice for all ages, day- dreaming through lectures, seems to be the last resort for those desperate to try any- thing. Beware; The ideal student can strike any classroor by arriving class two or three minutes early. hc iPfltf ff M food 1 W - jJJ b P5« -jJUUUUUU So, What ' s Your Excuse This Time: 26
