ANote From Your Principal:

Senior Skip Day is not an eventsanctioned by school administration. All students are required toattend classes Friday 9 May. In addition, the request made by certainmembers of the freshman class to lift the sanction againstunderclassmen attending the prom unless invited by an upperclassman isdenied.

Notice to all Students:

It has come to the attention ofthe administration that many pupils do not seem to know the properwords to the AEHS School Song. They are as follows:

Einstein Lions, we're for youCome on, be bold, come on,

be bold, come on, be boldEinstein Lions,

we're for you Blue and gold, blue and gold, blue and gold

Einstein Lions, we're for you

We've got a team no one else can ever tame

Einstein Lions, we're for you

Let's win this game!

Please note that at this year'sgraduation ceremony, any student caught singingalternative (particularly explicit and/or suggestive) words to the AEHSSchool Song will be removed from the premises. Complaints that the AEHSSchool Song

is too militaristic must be submitted in writing to theAEHS administrative office, not scrawled on toilet doors or discussed

on any student's public access television programme.

Lettersto the Editor:

To Whom it May Concern:

MelanieGreenbaum's article in last week's issue of The Atom on thestrides the women's movement has made in the past

three decadeswas laughably facile. Sexism is still alive and well, not only aroundthe world, but in our own country. In Utah,

for instance, polygamousmarriages involving brides as young as eleven years of age arethriving, practised by fundamentalist Mormons who continue to live bytraditions their ancestors brought west in the mid-1800s. The number ofpeople in polygamous families in Utah is estimated by human rightsgroups at perhaps as many as 50,000, despite the fact that polygamy isnot tolerated by the mainstream Mormon church, and also that theenforcement of tough penalties in thecase of underage brides can sentence a polygamous husband or churchleader arranging such a marriage to up to fifteen years in prison.

I am not telling other cultureshow to live, or anything. I am just saying take off the rose-colouredspectacles, Ms Greenbaum, and write an article about some of the realproblems that affect half the population of this planet. The staff of TheAtom might well consider giving some of their other writers achance to report on these issues, instead of relegating them to thecafeteria beat. Lilly Moscovitz

Personal to MK from MW:

My lovefor you Like a flower grows

Where it will stop No one knows.

Wednesday,April 30, Bio.

Mia - Did you see the latestissue of The Atom?

I know, Shameeka, I just got mycopy. I wish Lilly would stop mentioning me in her letters to theeditor. I mean, as

the only freshman on the newspaper staff, I have topay my dues. Lesley Cho, the editor-in-chief, got her start on thecafeteria beat. I am TOTALLY FINE with covering the lunch menu everyweek.

Well, I think Lilly just feelsif your goal really is to be a writer someday, you aren't going to getthere writing about Buffalo Bites!

That is not true. I have madesome very important innovations in the lunch column. For instance, itwas my idea to capitalize the T in Individual Pizza.

Lilly is only looking out foryour best interests.

Whatever. Melanie Greenbaum is onthe girls' basketball team. She could fully slam-dunk me if she wantedto. I

don't think Lilly antagonizing her is in my best interests.

So...

So what?

So has he asked youyet?????

Has who asked me what?

HASMICHAEL ASKED YOU TO THE PROM???????

Oh. No.

Mia, the prom is in less thanTWO WEEKS! Jeff asked me a MONTH ago. How are you going to get yourdress in

time if you don't find out soon whether or not you're going?Plus you have to make an appointment to get your hair and nails done,and get the boutonniere, and he has to rent the limo and his tux andmake dinner reservations. This

is not pizza at Bowlmore Lanes, you know.It's dinner and dancing at Maxim's! It's serious!

I'm sure Michael is going to askme soon. He has a lot on his mind, what with the new band and collegein the autumn and all.
