LOCAL OPTION

Or something like that . . .

We went to the awards ceremony at SHS tonight. Lots of academic awards were given out, lots of scholarships were awarded, one young man cleaned up (with an appointment to the USAF Academy to boot), and then lots of other miscellaneous awards for lots of other school activities.

Some of these awards were given to members of "the band," or "the choir," or "the yearbook staff," or some other group consisting of lots of kids.

You know the drill . . . "Please hold your applause until everyone has been introduced."

Local option here is to clap loudly, ONCE, as each name is read.

Bob Smith ... CLAP
Jane Peterson ... CLAP
Jackie Williamson ... CLAP
David Oreskovitch ... CLAP
Your 05-06 Year Book staff .... APPLAUSE

It took me a few to figure out what was going on, but then I got it. Now if we could just get the presenters to read the names the same way everytime, it would work great.

Hey, if you run across the USAFA kid congratulate him for me, and tell him to look out for Erica Juchter. :-)

You wouldn't be trying to set her up, now would you?
