Yeah, I know this is dead, but I just thought it was worth pointing out that Mr. White had apparently instructed his lackeys to break the law and try to take students' copies of the Pioneer, the satirical newspaper published by some seniors. Yeah, that'll get them to stop reading it-make them think there's something in there that they're not supposed to see. I sure hope this was just a result of our hall monitors being idiots, and not a result of Mr. White flat-out telling them to take them. Because he seemed to be getting a little better about this whole breaking-the-law thing.
Alright, well, I guess this is the last post of this here blog. It hasn't really been a good journey; if it had, then I wouldn't have needed to write this, would I? Today, though, was my last day under the jurisdiction of Pioneer's administration, and there are no plans for anyone else to take over. If you were really curious (which I doubt, considering the only people who read this knew who I was), my name is Bill Gallagher, I'm a senior, I wrote for the Optimist, blah blah blah. If the other writers want to reveal who they were, they can do that, but really, it's not important. What's more important is that students make sure that the discussion between the administration and the parents and the students continues next year. Without it, the school will degrade into a pseudo-military state with no communication whatsoever. Mr. White and his administration will not work to improve communication lines; it is up to you.

I heard White telling hall monitors to take the papers away from kids. That made me curious as to what was in it. So I found one and read it. I thought it was pretty funny. I also warned kids I saw with the paper that White gave orders to take them from anyone they saw with one. About the same time seniors were leaving the building the cameras went down for about two minutes.
are you seniors planning to come back and do pranks next week?
they closed off upper lot.
fucking bullshit.
it would have to be your non-dominant fist
also the pioneer is not funny. no one seems to get this basic truth.
Since this was intended to be the last post by this year's crop of senior contributors, I won't make up a whole new one and bump Bill's last post further down the page. Anyway, I was at school today tying up some loose ends and whatnot when I heard an announcement, and later witnessed the distribution of hastily and anxiously written letters, regarding an incident that transpired earlier in the day. I'm hesitant to comment or speculate even to the slightest degree, for fear of muddling facts and painting a false or incomplete picture of the event. All I know for sure is that a student brought a projectile weapon to school. If any of you has any more information about this, or if teachers are talking about it with you guys, this is a good forum in which to discuss it. That's probably it for me for a while, maybe forever.
A student brought a loaded gun to school & it fell out of his backpack in class. It was in the Friday Ann Arbor News. Front page headline. That's a scary situation for adult's it must be more so for the student's who saw it. It was handled quickly and without any problems.
Now the "benevolent overlord" Mr. White has done away with the off campus policy for the 2011 class onwards, because he says that kids cut class because of it. At the same time, he sends kids home who miss two homework assignments in any given week. That makes a whole lot of NOT sense. He sends the "bad" students home, forcibly. Obviously, if you cut class you're not exactly a role model student. So before, with open campus, the "bad" students sent themselves home, voluntarily. How does that make any sense?!?
