Unknown to the students of the Home Resources depart- ment, it plans on conquering Earth; a creature from another planet that placed itself in our water system, snaking its way through the pipes of Ypsi High School, eventually ending up marinading a Beef Stroganoff. Soon it will expand, becoming a massive blob absorb- ing students left and right. Suddenly a student comes up to the stove, wielding a fork. She proceeds to dissect the beefy beasty, carving it into several small chunks which withered and hissed. It screamed and cursed in a language far above human percep- tion. “Its done!’’, she called, flinging its steaming body onto a platter. Four minutes later, the appetiz- ing alien was devoured for lunch. It was finger-licken’ good. Ms. Jane Kulpinski ACADEMICS

Another. skill offers many courses so the average student can learn the basics. The courses are Basic Nuclear Fission, Small Hyperdrive Engines, and the study of construction of one-man spaceships. In Basic Nuclear Fission the students learn about the inner workings of a nuclear reactor. This includes wiring, the principal parts and the fuel. Two fuel sources which are often used are plutonium and U-238. Small Hyperdrive Engines is taken by students who are interest- ed in the design, construction, and uses of the hyperdrive engine in learned in this course is small hyperdrive engine maintenance. Another benefit is that students who have taken this class will be eligible for scholarships from major spacelines. The last catagory, Construc- tion of One-Man Spaceships, is just what the title indicates: the con- struction of small, one man space- ships. After the ships are finished, they are tested by NASA. The students will be graded according to the quality of the construction. If a student passes, he or she will be able to take their spaceship on a short tour of the solar system.
