Page 4 HIGH LIFE March 4, 1977 X 4Vv>Uak4 4llij WAJ SuppoSCO be. '‘5prm5 "rr^c)c"''/; Grimsby Collapses By Cindy Ward This Monday morning began as any other at good old Grimsby, High, with many of the students already arriving. They moved slowly, as if in a daze, all trying to pry their sleep-filled eyes open to begin another week of school. Mr. Topple, the assistant principal at Grimsby, had called an emergency teacher’s meeting under the clock in the main hall. He was worried about how fast the Toto regime was catching on, but his main concern was about the unusually cold weather. If the situation got critical, the termites would freeze. (It was common knowledge that the only reason Grimsby’s 48-year old main building still stood was because all of the termites were holding hands.) Just as Mr. Topple began to explain his evacuation plan, should the termites indeed freeze, a large chunk of ceiling landed with a dull thud right at his feet. It was as if the go-ahead whistle had been blown, for immediately pictures began falling from crumbling walls, window panes shattered, and showers of brick and plaster made sight next to impossible. This was a perfect situation for Kelli Klutz, who ducked into a newly formed hole under a star well. As she stood panting, trying to catch her breath, angry tears stung her eyes. Nothing was going right this morning. She had not eaten her breakfast cereal fast enough and it had wilted, she had ring around the collar, and now to top everything off, Mr. Gully was after her. Mr. Gully, Grimsby’s very own truant officer, had been in hot pursuit of her down the third floor in the main building because she had forgotten to sign out before leaving school last Friday. Cautiously, she peeked out from her dark cubby hole, just in time to see a very astonished Mr. Gully disappear into a large crack which had opened up in front of him only moments before. His fall was broken by Jimmy Brave, the star player on the school’s basketball team. He was starting that very night in the big game between the Grimsby Twirlies and the Caged Pi-rats. Jimmy, who had been reaching for his chemistry book on the top shelf of his locker, never knew what hit him. The impact of Mr. Gully’s descent smashed Jimmy headlong into the locker, squashing his 7’1” frame into his three foot locker. From out of nowhere a huge beam appeared, that not only slammed and barred Jimmy’s locker shut, but also sent Mr. Gully rolling down the steps into the main halt, where helanded in the pile of debris which covered Mr. Topple. As suddenly as the main building had begun falling apart, it stopped. Mr. Grinn, the principal of Grimsby, announced that all students who had classes in the demolished main building could skip, as long as they remained on campus. He also said the game between the Twirlies and Pi-rats v/ould proceed on schedule in the undamaged boys’ gym. Meanwhile, as Mr. Gully regained his wits and vowed to catch Kelli Klutz if it was the last thing he did, the 69-cent man could just barely see with his bionic eyes, the plight Jimmy Bravo was in. The 69-cent man could do nothing, though, until he recharged himself with a Sears Die-Hard battery. The game began in less than a half an hour, and still there had been no sign of Jimmy Bravo. If Jimmy did not show up. Coach Beaver would be forced to play Billy Botch, the world’s crumbiest player. The coach knew that rules were rules, and the rules stated that each team was required to have five players on the floor at all times. The team began their warm ups, while Coach Beaver anxiously paced the floor, wondering where Jimmy could be. Jimmy who had awakened in his pitch black prison, began to shout and beat against his locker, but to no avail. Can the 69-cent man recharge himself in time to save Jimmy Bravo? Will Billy Botch blow the big for the Twirlies? Is Kelli Klutz safe from the treacherous Mr. Gully? To answer these and other questions, tune in to the next issue of HIGH LIFE to find out.

Contratuiations! CUff AbelS^hDoshBad Scholar March ~ It Is Becoming Dull March. fhat particular month brings to mind visions of blustery days, with the wind blowing so hard that to wear a dress would be a sin. and woe to the unlucky person sporting a wig or toupe. The month of March also brings the first day of spring, and of course that terribly exciting holiday...Saint Patrick’s Day. Remember? The day that everybody gets a chance to pinch the tar out of any poor soul who forgets to wear a bit of green in his clothing? Sounds exciting, right? WRONG!! Aside from the coming of spring, and Saint Patrick’s Day, not one single solitary thing happens in March. Oh, there are other holidays, but only a minority of the minority know about them, much less celebrate them. Every other month of the year boasts of at least one big holiday, but March, it seems, was forgotten in the toss-up. Really, March has got to be about the most boring month of the year. It needs a boost...its • own special holiday, that could be identified with March. Grimsley could appoint its own day in March, and make it a tradition. Maybe our holida would catch on, and Grimsley High could be famous! There is one slight problem, though, and that is what to call it, and how to celebrate it. Any suggestions?
