Mc. has a crush on V.S. Say cheese S. and maybe the mouse will bite! There are echoes sounding throughout the school telling a two students J.L. and L.K. who have made a deal with Mrs. G. to buy her test papers from her for $25 a page. It has also been heard that the two students plan to sell these pages for a $25 profit. Will the corruption and demoralization of our youth today never end? It ha § been reported that last Thursday R. Mc. was caught in an "un- balanced" situation. Earlier in the day a yardstick with a piece of chalk on it had been left to balance in the Chemistry lab. When R. Mc. came to class period nine he grabbed the yardstick, causing the chalk to fall off of it before reading the ac- companying note. Once R. Mc. discovered this note was from Mr. R. he spent a frenzied 40 minutes trying to rebalance the chalk and the yardstick before learning that the note was not from Mr. R., but from a student S.B. This reporter has learned that the boys basketball teams arenow "boogie'n to the beat" during practises. Following an example set by several other high schools in the area, the boys teams are playing , records during practises. po you guys really think that Supertramp and T-1• .'••• • • •r -or that much?

Christmas assembly The Christmas Assembly for 1979, under the direction of com- mittee head, Ste-ve Sparling, is set to take place on Friday. Included in the -i, assemblv program will be the snow "To Tell The Truth", in order to determine who is the real Santa Claus. The "Lit- tlest Angels" will be present with their ren- , ditions of several famous Christmas cards and the Students' Council, not to be outdone, will ;be on stage to sing their own versions of some Christmas cards. Miss Ugly 1979, will be back to, narrate and host \ her own talent show. None of us are able to forget Miss Ugly's ability to captivate her audience with her stunning ugliness, so it is no doubt that this segment of the program will be one to cherish forever. Santa Claus will reappear at the assembly later on, to hand out gifts'. to various teachers and staff members who have remained as good little boys and girls throughout the preceding year. This is only a sneak preview of some of the oUtstanding attractions featured at the Assembly. With all of the planning and preparation put, into it, the 1979 Christmas assembly promises to be one of the best in years.
