Detention Blues Tuesday-Thursday Club should be abol- ished, said an anonymous freshman who did not like the new system. People were put in detention for such offenses as not getting a parking sticker and having paper wad fights in class. Senior Christy Meek said, I think it just gives the teachers something to threaten the kids with. Junior Michele Smith thought that teachers abuse the privilege too much. Junior Schely Gerbers thought it was a good idea but the teachers abused it. She also thought that some students that were given detention didn ' t deserve it. Senior Keith Brown said, I think it ' s a good idea as long as it ' s not abused or misused. These were a few views from students. The rules for the club were very hard to abide by, said an angry sophomore. One was not allowed to sleep, read magazines, write letters, sit idly, leave the seat, leave the room or do non- school work. One had to bring paper, books, pencils, pens and any other materials required to keep busy. The majority of the teachers liked the idea of having detention. Mr. Rohrbacher knew it was working since last year 135 students did not turn in parent -teacher conference slips, but this year with the threat of detention hanging over students ' heads, only six were not turned in. Senior Tracy Yerks demonstrates behavior that could land some in the Tuesday-Thursday Club: sleeping in class. 18 DETENTION
