HUMOR
Montreal Murmurings
Greetings students! Happy Thanksgiving! The
wonderful celebration of how the Pilgrims and the In
dians sat down together at a tension free meal on the
fourth Thursday of November to celebrate the mar
riage of Pocahontas and John Smith. After Thanks
giving comes Christmas, but before Christmas comes
Finals! It is Ms. Benita’s prayer that you do well and
finish the semester with excellence. On to the mur
murings!
Served Stiffless There are many students who
suffer from an invisible affliction. While it doesn’t
affect their studies, many of them are too afraid of the
labels that may be placed on them if anyone were to
find out. Thus, many cases go undocumented. “It’s a
real problem,” notes Nurse Linda. Sani-serv-phobia
IS the name of this insidious plague. Sufferers are ter
rified of using the tongs provided for them at the caf
eteria. ‘It just seems so unsanitary, so many students
have touched them, it seems safer to just grab the
food with my bare hands,” said Senior Claire DuBois,
a long time sufferer of Saniservphobia, who agreed to
be quoted on the condition of anonymity. Ms. Boxy
certainly understands these perfectly rational fears,
but she hopes that sufferers will have the courage to
seek help.
It’s a Drag First and foremost; Ms. Boxy
would like to offer hearty congratulations to all the
student athletes for their work this semester, espe
cially to the teams whose efforts have been rewarded
in the forms of victory and esteem. Unfortunately,
this has not been true across the board. Now, Ms.
Boxy realizes that she does not write a sports column,
but she has heard so little said about this team that
speaking of them almost feels like gossip! The Men’s
Volleyball team has endured defeat after crushing
defeat, but in spite of it all, they still keep their heads
held high. “It’s a really great group of guys,” stated
team captain Stephen Long, “But it can be hard. A lot
of people don’t understand the old British tradition of
playing in full drag, but we have a loyal following.
and they get it.”
I only hope that
Montreat will
come out and
support the men’s
volleyball team just as heartily as they do all other sports
clubs.
