GRIER’S LETTER GIRLS
YOU SAY YOU GOT TROUBLES
You say you took your report card home and you had 8 E’s and all
3’s on it, but you only take 7 subjects, and your mother cried. She told
your father. Then you cried, and your little sister brought home straight
A’s and three gold stars. ’Say you got grounded for six weeks. Well,
babe, that’s Ufe!
So your dog bit you and you got rabies, and you got all soaped up
and the hot water ran out. Your mother made you eat an egg, and you
missed the bus and had to walk to school in the rain. Well, sometimes
you’re just a born loser!
Say you sat in a chair that had bubblegum in it and when you got
up, you ripped your dress and the teacher laughed, and you tried to run
out but lost your shoe and stepped on a tack, and a monitor took your
name for the use of profanity. Well, cheer up, babes, maybe you’ll do
something right.
Your classmate got you tickled while you were giving a science
report; you both got an “E” and he beat you up because he said he
didn’t do anything. Well, when you’re down, the only place to go is up!
Even if your retainer did fall out when you were asking your favorite
boy to a party; so what if you backed into the punch bowl while you
were avoiding that certain person, and Mr. Rogers got soaked, and you
slipped and fell and sprained your back when you were trying to act
sexy in front of your secret lover. He laughed and your face turned red.
You went to the locker room to powder your face, and someone pushed
you into the shower and the water was turned on, and you were wearing
a crepe dress and didn’t bring your coat. Cheer up, Flunkie, you’re
just a walking disaster area. Go home and stay there — and please, get
off my toe!!
JUST WONDERBSIG
Question: Is our official school song the same as our fight song?
Answer: No. The school song is the Alma Mater, which is printed on
page one of your school handbook. It begins “Our hearts hail the
school that we cherish, as the dear name of Grier we proudly raise.”
Question: Why is there such a small amount of 7th grade news?
Answer: We hope to remedy this by sending reporters to the 7th and
also to the 8th grade wings every Wednesday at 12:20. If any student
or teacher has some interesting news, we would appreciate your sharing
it with us.
Question: Why are we not allowed to make out in the halls?
Answer: If we had this privilege to look forward to, do you really think
we could keep our minds on our work? There’s a time and a place for
everything. Besides, what would be left to do on Friday nights?
Question: How can we obtain some metal bleachers in place of the
wooden ones with those (censored) splinters?
Answer: We suggest you approach your homeroom representative or
Mr. Tiddy with this question. We also recommend you change the
wording of your question first.
Question: How many bricks make up Grier School?
Answer: The count has been undertaken by many different students
bored in class, but to our knowledge, has never been completed.
If you have a question you’d like to see answered in The Grier
Script please drop it in the question box in room 2 or tell one of the
staff members. We’ll do our best to find an answer to every suitable
question.
