DROPPED THE DAY THEY THE B0 E! On January 26th, three adventure seeking Sam- mamish boys chuckled down the hall and into the Sophomore john. One of the group had bought a cherry bomb from a friend, and had made plans with the others to flush it down a toilet. They had predicted a sewer backup, and school would have to close. Unfortunately, the only thing that closed was the bathroom, Mr. Torgerson felt the debris that was left 'flooked too much like something out of World War Ilf' The boys have since dropped school. Such activities as skipp- ing school, stealing shot-puts, playing squirt- gun with fire extinguishers, smoking on school grounds, flooding the bathrooms with water, and other assorted juvenile antics blacken their records. These children's reaction to Sammamish: It's the biggest hole in the Seattle area. Of the administration, one said: Personally, I think our administration is pretty wiped out. They don't understand people. Two weeks later, Mr. Knoell sent a curious stu- dent body into the gym. Our valentine was the announcement of a bomb scare. We don't even get to go home! wailed a few. The guilty party obviously suffered disappointment with this,soto ease the pain Mr. Lund gathered together his choir and the drill team in an effort to entertain for the hour. Commenting on the average apathetic Sammam- ishite, one student leader said, 'iWhen they see somebody doing something really bad, they don't do anything about it. They don't care about Sam- mamishf' As long as we're amused by the blowing up of latrines, it'll continue, another said. Mrs. Mohn, Sammamish's Psychology-Sociology teacher, explained that a whole reef of causes exists. She outlined the following main ones: IJ People donlt know what's expected behavior 21 People can't accept what's expected behavior 33 People can't or won't produce what's expect- ed behavior. 'fWhereas the destrubtive individual may alleviate his day's problems by kicking the family cat, the constructive individual will realize, understand, and accept what's expected of him. Then he will work to produce what's expected. Sammamish's problem isn't unique. The U.S. Crime Commission estimates that the National Crime Rate may triple all estimates this year. America must translate its well-founded alarm about crime into social action that will prevent crime, the panel urged. A community's most enduring protection against crime is to right the wrongs and cure the illnesses that tempt men to harm their neighbors.
