Edit orial s edit or Just when students thought the halls were safe, the little tykes ran loose. A few unidentified Early Childhood Education students accidentally left the door open from the little cubby section of E hall where their classes are held. In the time period of 41 seconds, 10 of the three and four year old children slipped out of the room, ready to take control of Northview. “We turned around for one second and they were gone,” said senior Childhood Education student Lindsey Gryca, shocked. They began their crusade in the art room, stealing hideous-colored paints and fingerpainted graffiti over the walls of NV, including finger painting over C-hall. The graffiti included slogans like “Baby Got Bad”. “The little one tripped me and I sprained my ankle,” explained senior Shannon Parcell. “Then he took my lunch money.”
Next, the children raided the cafeteria, eating the entire supply of best-selling chocolate chip cookies leaving none for lunch, and mockingly left the empty bags on the floor, causing more emotional pain to the alreadyhungry high school students. “You can take my grades, you can take my car, but you can’t take my cookies,” said senior Dave Moyer, outraged. They didn’t stop there. Some of the children snuck into the Cosmetology room. They grabbed supplies such as scissors and hair dye, knocking the students working on customers over, and proceeded to give the customers a surprise new hair dos. “They just shaved it all off,” said senior Megan Nolan, visibly upset and hairless. The rest ran down to the band room and tried to play the high school students’ instruments, producing a sound so atrocious that band director Mr. Mark Kroll fainted. But they weren’t done yet. The children all piled into the main office, locking Principal Stewart Jesse out of his own office and screeching over the loudspeaker to the already-

terrified students that if the students ever wanted to leave the building again, they were to forfeit all of their cars. As the students tearfully said goodbye to their beloved vehicles, the children hopped in the front seats and drove off. Many of them could be heard shouting, “This is so much better than HotWheels!” One was seen driving a white Ford Mustang with black racing stripes on I-75. Some teachers, however, do not see the harm in their little children having “a little bit of fun.” “I don’t understand why everybody is so worried,” said Mrs. Heather Tussing, whose five-year-old son Joshua, took part in the breakout. “There is nothing wrong with having a little bit of fun. I mean, where else can you get cookies this good? They may as well take advantage. You go, Joshua! Mommy’s proud!” The police are currently chasing these children; their status is unconfirmed. We can only hope that these little tiny tykes stop at taking over NV, and don’t pursue taking over Sylvania.
10 seniors banned from walking at graduation By KRISTI KOPANIASZ
Bu s ine s s edit or Earlier this year Principal Mr. Stewart Jesse set rules that had to be followed for the senior prank or seniors that broke the rules would not walk at graduation. Even after being told the rules and consequences 10 seniors still decided not to follow these rules. It was determined that in order to prank, seniors then had to attend school on Senior Skip Day, that was the trade off. Those students who pranked had to attend school on Friday. This year 10 seniors were called down individually to Mr. Jesse’s office to talk to him, Mr. Rod Achter and Mrs. Amanda Ogren on Friday and they were not there. Since the day after the prank was senior skip day if the students were not there, a call home was made. “I apparently got the pass to the principal’s office the day after the senior prank but I wasn’t there,” said one of the 10 seniors who wishes to remain anonymous. Two seniors, Keith Foster and Connor Richardson, who were here on senior skip day, were called down during their fourth and fifth period classes, but despite being here they eventually skipped that day and will be punished with the rest. “No matter how much trouble we got into it was all worth it,” said Richardson. “I have no regrets for anything,” said Foster. “I wanted to go out with a bang.” Each of the seniors were called down to the office the following Tuesday and told they would not be walking at graduation or participating in any remaining senior events. After each student left Mr. Jesse’s office their parents were then contacted and informed of their child’s actions and the punishments that they would receive. “When I received a phone call from Mr. Jesse about my student I was devastated,” said an anonymous senior parent. “All our family was flying in to watch him graduate, now our plans are ruined. This was supposed to be a happy time; now it is just more stressful than ever.” Along with not walking on June 13 they were told they could not be a part of the senior assembly and the luncheon. “All the special things seniors do at the end of the year is what makes being a senior great. The special treatment and events we get are so fun,” said another senior. “Now I won’t be a part of any of that. I regret taking the senior prank too far.” The class of 2010 will officially graduate Sunday, June 13 at 4pm as they walk across the Stranahan stage to receive their diplomas.
