96. Every morning when you get off the bus, you are greeted by a huge chunk of wood depicting your school mascot. Ol' Woody also wishes you farewell in the afternoon.
97. The vending machines in the back of the school are prejudiced. You can

98. We have a plow on our school crest. A plow. Good thing our advanced agriculture program still uses the horse and plow method. We knew the tax dollars were going somewhere.
99. The maintenance crew still mows the non-existent grass during periods of extreme drought in an attempt to recreate the Dust Bowl so the history
classes can get a hands-on look at what it was like to survive a dust storm in the early 1900's.
100. The night school kids make fun of the band members for being geeks as
they leave the school during band practice time. Riiiiiight.

Man, that's so freakin' accurate. Coming up tomorrow, my opinions on Lost, band, The Miricle Worker, among other things. Later!!
