Well, I'm back again; and I bet you could hardly wait! Now that school has started again and things are beginning to calm down (?) some, my Phynques have been busy gathering THE news of Maine West.

For instance, did you know that Cheryll Mell can play a trumpet without an instrument and that Bob Banger almost swallowed a straw the other day? And who else but Morfit could have been "accidentally" shot with a squirt gun and hit in the head with a bag of crumbled cookies?

Karin Karner, we would really like you to explain about your blinking potato chip box. An explanation might be in order from you too, Dave (Flash) Flaskamp, about why you were eating dried seaweed in homeroom. Mmmm, nummy!

By the way, Ken Mach, solos are fine for after senior assembles, but do you really think they are for English class and study hall? Sure 5A study is noisy, Dhyan Fehrenbacher, but do you really have to liven it up by screaming during one of the few quiet moments? Sue Mandell, how about lending Morfit a hand?

Study hall really seems to be a busy place these days. Last week Ray Kuntz and Rainer Paasch were shooting at each other during first period study. I wonder what they used for ammunition? Poor Bob (Von G) Von Gyurcsy, while lots of kids were going to Florida for vacation, he had to go to the hospital to have his tonsils out.

What's this I hear about Carol Clem walking around the cafeteria during 4A with her finger in her mouth? And who is the person who says that Mr. Richard Mendrella loves his senior homeroom? Hey, Peggy Kurtz, someone was wondering if you could spare one of the dog's litter?

Has everyone gotten a ride in Bill Muhlenfeld's new car? My Phynques and I haven't. Laurie Greenaway's cast has been off for almost two months now, and she still hasn't learned to walk right, so I hear.

Finally, Morfit would like the toast of the week to go to Kate Levan and her birthday party. Watch out, my little silly scruggs, you may be next!
