Welcome to Homecoming Week, a week filled with non-academic antics and multiple opportunities for children to snub each other. Okay, that was too cynical. Actually, HWeek offers a LOT of super-fun things to do, from the Bonfire (Fire! Fire! I hope Ms. Burns gets to go. . .) to the Braves Brawl Talent Show to, of course, the Homecoming Dance. There will be costumes all week and tons of spirited activities, including the day-long thumping of the spirit drum, which doesn't get annoying at all.

To wit, tomorrow is COWBOYS AND INDIANS DAY. No one liked my idea of OPPRESSORS AND OPPRESSED DAY, so here we go with more of a Lone Ranger theme. I anticipate seeing a lot of little Pocahontas costumes roaming the halls tomorrow. Stay within dress code, please.

On a more positive note: I have 500 safety pins and am ready to go for Toga Tying on Wednesday before school. Come to 313 early that morning if you want help tying your senior class toga. Underclass students will be contemptuously turned away by angsty seniors, so plan accordingly.

Gifted English II: Grammar, again; review for Antigone Unit Test; some other stuff.

APeeps: More MacReview, followed by a critical essay from A.C. Bradley on Lady Mac.
