Panther Profile
By Craig Skochinski
Hey there, Panthers! Welcome back to what looks
to be a helluva tight school year, academically
speaking of course.
Well summer's over; that's right it's official. Well
maybe not, I'm not sure, when is the last day of
summer? I think it was actually a while ago. But I
digress, that's right digress, and that brings us to
our word of the day! It's part of my plan to expand
your vocabulary. Digress: to deviate or wander
away from the main topic or purpose in speaking
or writing; depart from the principal line of argu-
ment, plot, study, etc.
All right, back to school, which also means a new
crop of `niners'! We'll be kicking off Grade Nine
Welcome Week the last week of September, just to
confuse you guys, keep you on your toes. So for
now, I'll extend a very unofficial welcome to all nin-
ers from myself. You guys just keep getting shorter
and shorter — pretty soon, you'll be microscopic.
This Wednesday also marks the first Wacky
Wednesday, so be wacky — wear a tie! I hear
rumours of prizes. Hey wait, I just realized this
paper doesn't go out until Wednesday ... Oh well,
too late now. Mrs. Siren's rule — don't use the
backspace key while typing the first draft!
Since I'm only doing one draft, I guess I can't
backspace at all. So deal with it.
This being the first week, I can't really think of
much else to say... listen to the announcements!
These really cool two guys are reading them so
you'd be missing out if you didn't listen to their
voices.
So ya, for now keep on rockin' and don't forget to
go try out for sports and get involved in the high
school community (betcha didn't know we had a
community!) Until next week keep your head up in
the halls and remember: There's no purpose in
shedding copious tears over spilled lacteal fluid (I'll
have some kind of reward for the first person to
decode that and come find me, excluding anyone
currently or previously in Mrs. Siren's Writer's
Craft class).
