If it could happen to Gore in Florida, why not in Montpelier?
Details are still forthcoming, but apparently no one knows who won the class officer elections at the high school because the ballots were lost. Or thrown out. Missing in action.
Isn’t that a juicy scandal to lead the HS paper with?
We had a newspaper meeting yesterday. I made a few stupid mistakes - like, totally forgetting to say my name and get everyone to say their names - but overall I think it went OK. It’s so nice that we actually have real news to report. Between the election scandal and the fact that there are no advisors for either yearbook or theater - some good juicy stuff. I can't stop chuckling over the fact that a whole stack of ballots is missing. A comedy of errors.
I know Montpelier is “boring” - but I went to a huge high school in a large city, and I don’t remember having this much news.
Here’s another cute story from our small town.
Language teacher Mr. Skea has been teaching here for decades. One of his former students is now an accountant in town; his wife owns a clothing store and they’ve got two kids in the high school. When the son walked into the teacher’s room earlier this year, Skea hands him a yearbook that’s 20+ years old and says: “This is your father’s yearbook. He left it here when he graduated.”
So Nathan brings it home and gives it to dad, who says - “this can’t be my yearbook, I already have one.” "I've never seen your yearbook," responds his wife. He opens it up, and sure enough, there’s his name and all the comments written by his friends and classmates.
Now why exactly the teacher was holding onto this is beyond me.
