What was the funniest thing you have ever seen a classmate do?

Was it the time that George McCraken fell out of the school band bus?  Or prehaps it was the time when Ted Fletcher decided that the Mr. T look was for him?  When the Seniors were asked recently what some of their funniest recollections were, they answered with some of these:

Andrea Adams: In eigth Grade home ec., we had to make vests, and Cecily Bryfogle didn't like hers, so she ripped it up.

Brenda Aderhold: In first grade Marie Myers refused to take her flouride tablets, and she saved them in the back of her desk.

Diane Andrews: In twelfth grade Brenda Aderhold tried to sneak a chocolate chip cookie under her chili bowl and got caught!

Mille Boyer:  Jim Dennen and Hugh Hamilton threw Lori Bieber's shoe out the window in chemistry.

June Hall Brinser:  In middle school health class we were studying sex education and two dragonflies came in the window together and Holy said "What are they doing?"

Dave Cotner:  Scott Fisher brought in his parachutes on a windy day at lunch, and it dragged him, Tim, and Jim down the hall.

Chris Crain:  Tessie Beaver got her earring caught in her notebook during chemistry class and couldn't get it out.

Robin Edkin:  In eigth grade, Hugh Hamilton bent down to get his books off the rack under his chair, got his foot caught, and fell on the floor.

Belinda Groover:  Tiffany Michael got her hair teased in sixth grade, and it stood about three feet above her head.

Mary Haines:  Betsy Hartman got so carried away during one of the chemistry labs that she stirred a hole in the bottom of the test tube she was holding.

Gary Heater:  Mr. Kyle used Bobby "Chicken Chest" Frey for an eraser in math class.

Brian Hemrick:  Greg Zechman put chemicals in Mr. B's fish tank and killed all the fish.

Lori Holland:  Bindy Groover sat down in a garbage can and she got stuck!  She sat there with her legs hanging out yelling for help.

Lisa Kocher:  In the middle school Cheryl Kurtz tied my shoe to the desk and she ended up having to stay after to make up the time we spent untying my shoe.

David Hans:  Dennis Walk fell asleep during lunch and stayed there until the end of the day.

Kim Lehman:  Lisa Kocher drove her car to school and at the end of the day instead of driving home, she rode the bus.  She had to ride her bike to the school to get the car.

Tiffany Michael:  In elementary school we went to the Lassie Dog Food Company on a field trip and they gave us a sample pack of their delicious dog food.  It was so good that Lisa Kocher, Robin Edkin, and Sam Leech had a little snack on the way home.

Steve Myers:  Joe Miller was juggling a bottle of foot powder and deodorant in the locker room.  He dropped the foot powder spilling it all over himself, the locker and me!

Mike Steinbacher:  Allen Yarish nearly got his cane cut in half after he wrote something about Mr. Woodland for the Senior Issue.

Sue Taylor:  In Mrs. Corson's ninth grade history class, Cindy Cronrath and Holly Klinger hung Holly Mathias on the hooks above the blackboard by her overall straps.

Traci Thomas:  At lunch in the elementary school, Annette Powell and I had to stand in the corner for shooting peas at the proctors.

Deb Trawitz:  In Mrs. Campbell's seventh grade math class Angie Young stood up at 2p.m. and recited the pledge to the flag.

John Slother:  Hugh Hamilton put dish soap in Mrs. Strausser's fish tank!  Hey Hugh, remember "scoop"?

Rod Smith:  Holly Klinger lost her clog in Mr. Corman's ceiling in eleventh grade American History.

Survive W.R.

by Karen Leech

How much can you take?  Are you able to make it through seven periods a day     without falling asleep especially on a miserable Monday. If you can, you are a rare breed.  The Students and Teachers at Warrior Run were asked how they survive a      day at school?  Here are their responses:

Dawn Tice--"start my day off with my bowl full of Wheaties and to his my classes with whatever happens---happens!"

Leslie Bieber had a simple answer---"I don't."

Lydia Reeves--"I know if I go to school that's one more day to cross off my calendar."

Mrs. Deans--"I take Vanquish for my Excedrin headache." (Sounds like she has a pretty rough day.)

Nancy Mabus--"I ask Rod Smith to smile and think of Eddie Murphy of Saturday Night Live; he always makes me laugh."

Mr. Acker--"I start my day with a bowl of whole grain cereal, and I take lots of vitamin and mineral tablets (seaweed pills)."

Mr. Corson--"Perseverance, determination, will power, seeing Mrs. Slease and at least one good looking female in each class."

Sharon Hower and Debbie Brown said the same thing--"Eat alot and suck on Hall's cough drops all day." (what would happen to them if Hall's went out of business?)

Mr. Ziegler looked at this question optimistically.  He said he survives his days--"very carefully."

Mrs. Burrows--"As long as I have my two cups of coffee every morning. I can survive anything."

Mr. Sheaffer--"All I need is my pretzels and RC; they always bring my spirits up."

Mr. Burns says all he needs is four hundred ninety-three cups of coffee, and he's ready to tangle with anything.

Holly Mathias--"I only survive if I don't see Jon Weaver and if I do--death!"

Mr. Smythe--"Do I really survive it?"

As you can see, everyone has different methods.  They must work because they all survive for one hundred-eighty days each year.  What about you?  Can you survive?

Dumb Silly Mistakes

by Angie Stump

Perhaps it is ture that the dumbest thing a teacher could ever do would be to arrive at school.  Yet, there have been a few moments through the years when teachers have outdone themselves in order to capture their students' laughter.

Students laugh easiest at the expense of some teacher who has made an unfortunate mistake.  The most duplicated incident that Seniors recounted occurred as Mrs. Dodson tripped over the overhead projector, regained her balance, only to trip over the waste basket and catch herself on her desk.

Forgetting his shoes on a snowy winter day, Mr. Woodland decided to skip convention and wear the felt liners to his boots.  His decision easily won his second place in the class of 1983'2 absurd events.

Third place was captured by Mr. Fahringer.  After telling Brent Frey "A chair has four legs and we were intended to use all four of them," Mr. Fahrinber sat down and promptly started to rock on his own chair.  While he was leaning farther back, the chair tipped and fell to the floor, taking Mr. Fahringer with it.

Because the major part of their day is spent in schoo, many people find an outlet in athletics.  The very nature of sports make them a prime target for humor.  Where else would you see Coach Mathias argue with a referee, especially one who is nearly six foot seven.  You might have even seen Coach Klebon rip his pants during the Milton basketball game.

Gym class may be another outlet for pressures.  When a gym teacher participates in a game, students watch him or her closely.

Mr. Dopp was seen missing a ball directly in front of him.  It knocked his glasses to the floor and ultimately resulted in a red face.

The most numerous mistakes made be teachers are those which happen when they are trying to be totally serious.  In the midst of a historical lecture, Mr. Corman pushed his "trolly" or kneeprop into the filing cabinet.  After warning the class to be careful while handling an antique record, Mr. Nornhold "cautiously" dropped it on the floor.  Even Mr. Arnts is not forgotten for the time he took the students to District Band in Elkland and took the precaution of locking the car doors...with the keys inside.

After three unsuccessful attempts, Mr. Burns left his film in the projector backward.  Testing his chemistry class on lab equipment, Mr. Burns demonstrated how not to hold a crucible.  Placing it on his head, the dish slid to the floor, certainly proving his point.

Teachers can never be said to be perfuct.  Flying from his bike on his way home from school must have been painful for Mr. Hahn and resulted in several bruises and many jokes.

Even planned humor suach as: Mr. Corson wearing his Christmas tree suit, Mrs. Bower in a foorball uniform, or Mr. McPherrin as a cheerleader add life to an otherwise rigorous day.  Teachers are real people, too!
