By Sharon Spiceland I vow to attend prom even if I must bring my mother. I stay optimistic and plan a cheerful weekend visiting Bev and Gayle down South amid rumors Bev dates a 25 year old student and Gayle sees a 21 year old pharmacy worker. I may be away this weekend then again the next.
A student message stresses energy crisis and personal responsibility. It urges turning off lights, using natural daylight, wearing warm clothing, car pooling, and reducing grease laps at school. The piece asks readers to conserve at home and in daily life.
A reader laments ongoing theft at Sterling High and in stores, urging students to stop stealing, return items promptly, and consider the taxpayer costs. The piece argues theft stems from thrill seeking and situational opportunity, warns of higher prices and reduced access if misconduct continues, and appeals to teens to keep hands to themselves.
Letters express opposition to school smoking on Sterling High grounds and praise for library staff. Contributors cite minors smoking near corners, health risks, littered butts, and potential pot use. Another writer laments stolen items from PE lockers and requests better security and rooms for smokers.
A reader vents frustration at the school board for creating a designated smoking area. He argues students still smoke in bathrooms and outside yards and suggests teachers should quit smoking in lounges. He questions future student protests if similar requests arise and calls the outcome unsatisfactory.
