I realize now what I am going to have to do. I mean, I think I knew it all along, and I was just blocking it. Which isn't surprising, considering that every fibre of my being is crying out against it.
But really, what choice do I have? Michael himself even said it: he'd go to the prom if the guys from his band were going too.
Oh, God, I can't believe it has come to this. My life really IS going down the toilet if this is the low to which I am forced to stoop.
I'll never be able to get to sleep now. I just know it. I am too filled with dread.

Notice to all Students:
As we enter final exams in the next few weeks, school administrators would like us to review the
AEHS mission statement and beliefs:
Mission Statement
It is Albert Einstein High School's mission to provide students with learning experiences that are technologically relevant, globally orientated and personally challenging.
Beliefs:
1. The school must provide a diverse curriculum that...
2. A well-supported and diverse extra-curricular...
3. Students must be encouraged to develop
responsible behaviour and accountability for their actions.
4. Tolerance and understanding of different cultures and viewpoints must be encouraged at all times.
5. Cheating or plagiarism will not be condoned in any form, and can lead to suspension or expulsion.
The administration would like the student body to be aware that in the coming exam period, it intends to enforce point 5 with vigilance. Forewarned is forearmed.
Incident at Les Hautes Manger
by Mia Thermopolis
Having been asked by this paper to provide an account of what occurred last week at the restaurant Les Hautes Manger, at which this reporter was present, it must be noted that the entire thing was the fault of this reporter's grandmother, who smuggled her dog into the restaurant. The said dog's ill-timed break for freedom caused busboy Jangbu Pinasa to drop a soup-laden tray on to the Dowager Princess of Genovia's person. The consequent dismissal of Jangbu Pinasa was both unfair and possibly unconstitutional. Though this reporter isn't sure, due to her lack of familiarity with said constitution. It is this reporter's feeling that Mr. Pinasa should be given his job back.
Editorial
While it is not the policy of this paper to print anonymous submissions, the following poem so neatly sums up what so many
of us are feeling at this time of year that we decided to run it anyway. - Ed.
Spring Fever
By Anonymous
Sneaking away during lunch -
Taco salad, the kind with the meat in it, and the Green Goddess dressing. God, why do they do that to us?
We find that Central Park beckons - Green grass and daffodils pushing their way out from underneath
a blanket of cigarette butts and crumpled soda cans. So we make a run for it - Did they see us? I don't
think so.
Can we get In-School suspension for a first offence? I guess anything is possible. Let's sit on the bench and try to get a tan ... Only to find, to our dismay, that we've left our sunglasses back in our lockers.
Please note: It is the policy of this administration to suspend any and all students who leave campus during school hours for WHATEVER REASON. Spring Fever is not an acceptable excuse for violating this school policy.
Student Injured by Globe
by Melanie Greenbaum
An AEHS student suffered an in-class injury yesterday due to a large globe that fell, or was dropped on his head. If it was
the latter, this reporter feels it necessary to ask: where was the adult supervision at the time said globe was dropped? And if it was the former, why is this administration allowing dangerous objects such as globes to be placed at heights from which they might fall and cause injury to our students? This reporter demands a thorough investigation.
Letters to the Editor:
To Whom it May Concern: The amount of malaise evidenced by the student body of this establishment is a personal embarrassment to me and a disgrace to our generation. While the students of Albert Einstein High School sit around, planning their Senior Prom and whining about their finals, people in Tibet are DYING. Yes, DYING. Clashes continue between the rebels and the Chinese military, making it impossible for many Tibetans to make even a meagre living.
But what is our government doing to help the people of Tibet? Nothing more than advising tourists to stay away. People, the Tibetans make their living from tourists who come to climb the Himalayas. Please do not listen to our government's warnings
to avoid Tibet. Encourage your parents to allow you to vacation there this summer - you'll be glad you did.
