Er...what I mean is your pants down with your essay undone! There you are and it is 8.:00 p. m. Sunday, the day efore it is due. You can't stall it any longer. No, the teacher won't forget, won't be killed, and God is not going to blow the school away. You have to do it, so... Pull yourself away from that stupid program on the boob -tube and crack the books open. Maybe you should have started sooner; done a little, a lot, of research. Oh well, so you won't get perfect. You had better skim through those books. Just think, tomorrow you will be able to return those month - overdue books, Well, time is ticking away. My you have written a lot. Don't you think you could put more down on that piece of paper than your name? That's a good start. "The" is always a good start. Slave on Macduff. As the clock strikes twelve we see you have finally finished it, the first paragraph. You have to quit thinking about your girlfriend. You can't call her, Just think - only 900 words to go. No malaria won't work either. Do the Beatles really help you? I think you are thinking more of that party on Friday than the rise and fall of the Roman Empire. Ah, to be old...or young. Then you wouldn't be doing this! Hey, you are -doing a great job on Chairman Mao's picture and Hitler does look funny with buck teeth, Your essay is lacking in length. What you need is somebody with a whip, lashing it out of you. Just think; if the whipping was hard enough, you would black out, wake up in the hospital a week later. No, that won't work and neither are you working. The of clock just rang 2 a.m. I see you have it written out. All that is needed is for it to be written in good on every other line. You had better pick your eyelids off the floor; they are drooping. My your eyes are red. That's it, you are doing fine, you have written your name four times. Maybe you should go to sleep for a while, finish it tomorrow...Oh, you have fallen asleep. Well the least you could have done was pick that pen out of your ear, Just ask Dear Annie Dear Annie: Yeesh, do I have a doozy for you! Actually, it's not me that has the problem, but a very close friend of mine. This person is scared to death of anything higher than a curb on a roadside. She doesn't use a bed, but sleeps on a mattress on the floor, she never goes near stairs without someone to help her and the very thought of the C.N. Tower is enough to make her pass out. Annie, do you have any suggestions for me to help her? • Concerned Dear Concerned: Frankly, I would not attempt to interfere at all. This girl's parents must be doing something for her and, if she's going to a ,o,' g koutx, t think that g'a111he needs: Of course, I would give" her moral support when she needs it, but don't give advice to her: Dear Annie: I've been having real problems at school lately. Actually, they all seem to centre on my locker. This is my first year at school and so, it seems that my locker is situated in the farthest corner of the school from my classes. I can even get lost looking for it! It can sometimes take me up to a five-minute roundtrip to get from my homeroom or a class, to my locker and then back again, if the stairs are crowded. The previous owner of this locker bent the dour so that I prac- tically have to man handle it to close it and worse, he left several of kW- P4 -� ss e_ar awo rd s scratched into- the paint inside the locker: The outside of the locker is even worse. One day I counted three locker combinations, two swear words and one name scratched into the door's paint. The ventilation in the locker is great, it lets all the fumes from the football equipment in the locker next to me, and, also I seem to be unable to keep it tidy. Annie, there's got to be a better way! Sheet -Metal Blues Dear S.B.: Unless you want to carry everything with you, there isn't a better way. You can try to switch to another, presently vacant locker or put up and shut up. It's too bad that the last locker's owner was a slob ,but-tber4Jisri' ,rnuch, you can do . to stop him now.

The card resounded with a great clap as that of a gun with a silencer loaded with blanks on a cold winter night in July. "You cheated!" yelled .the man with the scar on his cheek. I saw you stack the deck!" "He did not!" The other three looked around at the woman with the chipped glasses. Her eyes glared with the fire of rage that was burning within her. "Yeah, I did not cheat!" "Did so!" "Didn't!" "Did!" "Didn't!" "Did!" Suddenly the small man with the black eyes at the end of the table said, "Hey,' c'mon; can't we settle this like civilized,.. "Shaddup!" they all screamed as the man with the eyepatch ripped the blackboard off the wall and decked the little wimp with it. "Didn't!" "Did!" "I'll show you," the man with the eyepatch snarled. He suddenly picked up a sponge and threw it at the scarred man violently. The man with the scar yelled loudly as the sponge hit him in the stomach and sent him sprawling. 1 would like to thank those voters of Hullett who supported me for position of Deputy Reeve on Novem- ber 13 Thank You, GREG BRANDON s friends heard him and came over beating r the man with the eyepatch.
