mal..-aef.aq.,.,-yt . ,,r l V 'i 4 6' Just Blame It on MURPHY If something can go wrong, it will, lt's Mur- phy's Law folks, and it applies to everyone. Nobody knows who Murphy is but he must have led a pretty hard life. Did you ever have one of those days that went wrong from start to finish? You woke up late, breakfast was cold, your favorite jeans were dirty, your car wouldn't start, the line at the attendance office was a mile long, and that was all before school started! How about the time you dediced to run the ..: swf' f ...M are Jw Y, + red light on that deserted street because there is never a cop there, and then you saw lights flashing in the rearview mirror? Remember the time you decided to stay out an extra twenty minutes because your parents are never up anyway, and you were so proud of yourself for sneaking into the house and all the way to your room without making a sound and they your turned on the light, turned around, and your parents were sitting on your bed waiting patiently for their little darling to come home? Or what about the time you decide ed not to do your Algebra because your teacher had not been taking up the homework all week long? Then you walked into the classrooms and the first words our of her mouth were, Get out your homework papers and pass them to the front of the row. And she just did not seem to believe you when you told her you were kidnapped by terrorists who thought it was plans for some secret attack. If you are thinking Murphy's Law does not apply to you then think again, because chances are while you are sitting here reading this and thinking it couldn't happen to you, the elusive Murphy is plotting your downfall. - Jennifer Shuemate THIS IS N0 TIME FOR STRETCHING - Asst. Drum Major Loren Pond - 12 stretches to pick up her baton before the half time performance while Drum Major Roxanne Balsamo - 12 continues wtih Fanfare. ,x,, The test I was about to take was going to deter- mine whether l would pass or fail English. It was a big test! My English teacher was Mrs. Smith, so you know that the test was hard and I didn't stand a chance of passing. ljust knew that I was going to fail and, sure enough, I did. Even though I studied all night long and thought that I knew the material, l made a 69 out of 100, boy was I upset! - Joey Antoine - 12. You're all set. Nobody could possibly know who you are. You've got your shades on even though it's eleven-thirty at night. You are going to ride by your ex-boyfriends house. Just as you hit the gas peddle pass the house doing 75 mph, and think everything is going to be fine. You pass by and you catch your ex-boyfriends eyes as they stare out of the window through your shades and straight into your mind. BUSTED!!! - Julie Fredeman - 12 k 'as' , . - ,f 1: ss s -,. One day I came to school thinking that everything that could go wrong, would go wrong. As it turned out everything went wrong. I had forgotten to do several of my homework assignments. On top of all of that, I almost got into 'a fight with some of my good friends over something that was uncalled for and stupid. And of course, I had six weeks of school to look forward to.
