This anarchist group originally consisted of five mem bers: Johnny Vomit, the lead vocalist; Cy Anide,, the lead guitarist; Rex Havoc, the bass player; General Nuisance, the drummer; and Gill O’Tine, who died from an overdose of kero sene .screwdrivers. Groupies in elude Hot Ruthie and Broth I Beth. The Plague, which was the vc- . first punk rock group to appc;ii back in the 196fhi became si, popular that they were forced to go underground or face making too much money. Now Johnny Vomit and The Plague has finally decided to re-emerge and claim the fame that was once theirs alone. “Going underground has had some of its drawbacks,” rasped Cy Anide in his crackling voice. "Yeah man," threw in Rex Havoc. “We'd never heard of The Sex Pistols until they stole two of our biggest hits ‘Anarchy in the U.S.A.’ and ‘Lord Save the President’. They just changed the titles to suit their own purposes. The Sex Pistols have disbanded because of the great guilt they felt from doing this to us.” All of The Plague’s members wish to complete some type of higher education. Johnny Vomit will attend Oxford,, Rex Havoc plans to go to Cambridge, Gener al Nusiance has been accepted at M.I.T., and Cy Anide plans to make an appearance at Jefferson College. They wish to become history majors because of their great interest in exciting events such as the black plague, the First and Second World Wars, and the Cold Wr. Johnny Vomit and The Plague always go in style. All of their clothes come from exclusive racks at the Salvation Army headquart ers, their gaudy “shades” smack of Woolworth’s “under five cents” shelf, Rit dye is the best Photo by “Big Red” Bicknell Johnny Vomit, worid famous leader of the punk rock band The Plague, leads his wildly enthusiastic audience in the hit song “Now I Wanna Die.” Other band members include Cy Anide, General Nuisance, and Rex Havoc. way to a achieve that gorgeous shade of pea-green hair color, and safety pins or stainless steel paper clips never fail as flashy nose, lip, or ear decorations, “Call It Punk” is the newest album cut by The Plague. Some of the songs are ‘Subway to Siberia’, ‘Woodstock’s a Drag’, Acne’s Busting Out All Over’, a song about socio-economic problems of today’s teen-agers, and their number-one chart topping ballad ‘Now I Wanna Be Dead’. The haunting lyrics are as follows: I wanna be dead. So shoot me in the head. The sheets will all turn red. From my blood upon the bed. Now 1 wanna die. So poke me in the eye. I’ll give a little cry. Before I say good-bye. Now I wanna be hurt; So throw me in the dirt. Hit me with your cane. And I’ll be dead again. Johnny Vomit and The Plague welcome any person anarchist enough to join. There are only six requirements: ***one must possess absolutely no musical talent. ♦♦♦extensive education re quired (over third grade). ♦♦♦one must vow to fight the evils of rock-n-roll. ♦♦♦an extra “Y” chromosome is mandatory. ♦♦♦minimum age requirement is four years of age. ♦♦♦one must have anti-social tendencies.

Klub Korner by Sizzlin Seism New Point System Driver's Ed For by Little Devil Di/!in The Grimsiey Driver Education instructors have recently devised a "Grimsiey Driver Education Point System.” fhe newly enforced point sys tem was put into use to prepare the new Driver Education stii dents for the traffic laws that wdi have to be obeyed after they receive their driver’s license. “This gives our students a feeling of responsibility in the car, that they too must obey laws of traffic. There should\ be no exception for beginners,” said Coach Colson with extreme firm-- ness. “After this system goes into effect next fall, we hope to witness extreme cautiousness amoung our new student drivers at Grimsiey,” added C oach Holly. If this system works well enough for student drivers, the Grimsiey faculty is hoping that this system will be put into effect for all students on the Grimsiey campus. In this new point system, your goal is to try and receive the fewest points possible. Anyone having more than 15 points on his or her record will be immediately dropped from the Driver Educa tion class. If one wishes to re-enroll for the following semes ter, he must obtain an extra 20 hours book work in addition to the previous 30 hours of book work. The point system is as follows: POINT SYSTEM If you hit a: 1) Sophomore = 'A 2) Page student = -5 3) Senior = 7 4) Coach Barbour’s Driver Ed car = 3 5) Coach Barbour = % 6) Mr. Glenn = 10 7) Your brother’s pet skunk = 5 8) Your brother = 2 9) Telephone pole = 1 10) School bus = 4 11) School bus driver = 2 The O’HAIRY FRESHMEN will be sponsoring a hair growing contest to help raise money for their annual trip to Reidsville.
