=============================
Hi Lynn,

RH> year, some of the high schools around here were getting bomb threats on
RH> a daily basis.  Seems kids with cell phones were calling them in while
RH> at school; most have been caught and charged tho.

 LS> Yeah, the fire messed everything up for everyone, and I really
 LS> hope that he got a good shock when he was caught and charged for
 LS> this. Because honestly, I'd bet that he thought that he could
 LS> get away with it. The worst part was all the rumors that flew

That seems to be the mentality of teens--"I can get away with anything."
and then they're quite surprised when caught.  A lot of times they think
they're invincible and don't bother with seat belts and suchlike.  Those
are the ones you read about in the paper after the accident where the
kid was thrown out of the vehicle and died becaue of not wearing a seat
belt.


 LS> around right after it happened. All of the "He did it, she said
 LS> so" really got on my nerves, especially when the kids they were
 LS> talking about would never do anything like that.


Rumors are nasty things, especially in a school.  I presume you know
most all of the kids in your high school; some are big enough you hardly
know your classmates.


 LS> We have a new stage, though, and new curtains, and they're in the
 LS> process of making a new seating plan and getting new seats in the
 LS> auditorium. The whole gym is being rebuilt and remodled;
 LS> functioning showers and new lockers are being set up. All the
 LS> asbestos in the gym/auditorium area was found and removed.

 LS> There IS a good side to all of this. It just took a lot of
 LS> hardship to see

That is good and it does remove the asbestos.  My parents have to cover
over the old vinyl in their bathrooms as it's got asbestos in it and
they can't (legally) rip it out & get rid of it.  How old a school
building is it?  The central school I went to was built in the 30s; when
I graduated, it still had the original stage curtains and suchlike.
Iwouldn't be surprised if they're still there and still haven't been
cleaned.  We had a combo gym and auditorium.  I think the cafeteria was
renovated about 35 years ago but they still serve the same mystery meat,
Alpo and suchlike.  Probably some of it is leftovers from when the
school opened. (G)

How many days until graduation?
