The moon was high,
The road was dark,
A perfect place
To stop and park.
I gave a sigh,
I gave a groan.
I cursed the fates,
I was alone!
The 'infamous' missing back seat..Campus Colt's ride.

'Bomb' Explodes in Class
Blowing up things seems to be the going rate in auto mechanics at Campus High School. During the year there have been about four of these mysterious explosions. These bombs are actually caused by the ignition coil which has a tendency to explode when it becomes too hot.
The most recent of these explosion happened Thursday when a group of students were trying to start a 51 Mercury engine. It seems as if Jim Holmes, Lynn Shelton and Duane Quirico were trying to start the engine with a 12 volt battery using a 6 volt coil with out a register. The engine had run about ten minutes when suddenly there was a loud explosion.
Looking around to see what had happened, everyone saw Duane and Jim who had been splattered with hot stinking tarish-like oil. Jim had it all over his shirt and Duane had been splattered around the neck and face. Luckily he was not injured.
