The night of the essay
It's that time of year,
and I bet you have been
caught with your pants
down. 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.

J,
Big Brother's watdin,
The munchkins have
handed in their weekly
reports and here's the
usual (or unusual ' ex-
citement of CHSS.
Sir A.R. (Macbeth)
gave a magnificent
performance last
Thursday along with the
• versatile K.M. and J.S. as
narrator. Those hand-
made trumpets were
certainly an added asset
to the performance. Good
show gang. Next time try
not to be so dramatic.
Alfie was last seen
being eaten by R.B.'s
tuba in Room 208. Lose
something P?,
I hear K.H. was really
excited by, the referee at
the girls' basketball
game last week. Really
K., does P. know about
this?
J.A. left for Ottawa last
week on a four-day
convention. Unfor-
tunately, J. became
overcome by illness and
the country's problems
have remained unsolved
until yet another ex-
cursion. Oh well, better
health to you next time
J.!
E.B. was - last heard
asking Mrs, G. if she
could go to her locker for
a drink. Really, E., try
and quench your thirsts
on the weekend, OK?
P.J. recently invented
a new move for
basketball enthusiastists.
In her strenuous
defensive efforts, P. was
seen sliding across the
floor on her stomach no
less. Really P., it didn't
seem to be the ap-
propriate time to do a
seal imitation!
R.Mc. was last seen
soaring through Mr. R's
550 physics class roller-
skating. A little more
practice R. and you just
might make the roller -
derby.
Last period, Friday,
Mrs. J's. chemistry class
was last seen getting out
early. Mrs. J,.. was
mistaken in thinking that
her entire class needed to
attend a meeting of the
music 'cxass.' Oh well,
Mrs. J., I hear . your
students didn't seem to
mind.
P.N. threatened Mr. M.
after he accidenly
chipped the reed on his
clarinet. You may share
your musical ability in
music class held period 10
if you're interested Mr.
N.!
It seems our junior
students have been
watching their steps this
week. We'll be watching
all of you next week, so be
careful!

CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, THURSDAY, NQVEMI U 10, 197S -}-POG
The BraI
by Paul Newland
They all looked at one
another menacingly,
Suddenly, the one with
the eyepatch whipped out
the left bower and
slapped it out on the
table. 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. The woman
with the chipped glasses
started pulling the men
off her partner and
throwing them through
the windows. When the
man with the scar came
to, she threw him out
also ,A .gil±aap of Prefects
came through the door
and they started on the
woman,
Soddenly, the small
man with the black eye
woke up and said, "Listen
fellas, why can't we..."
"Shaddap!" they all
screamed. And then the
fight began.
