Our Christmas Wish list for
the new millennium

   -Paper towels in the bathrooms. Why do you think we're always late to class? It takes a long time to dry your hands with hand dryers.

   -Longer lunches. We barely have time to go out and get back with 40-minute lunches. What's the point of having open campus if we don't have time to sit and eat? Not that I'm complaining or anything…

   -Tickets for every person in this school to go to the Rose Bowl (or at least the parade).

   -Let's spice up the halls with student-painted murals. The administration should hold a "paint the wall" contest for students to leave their mark on the school.
   -Pay our teachers more! Then, in all probability, they wouldn't be so grumpy, and more people would pass their semester exams! It might even improve the drop-out rate.

   -More parking. It's not a whole lot of fun to walk three blocks in the blistering cold only to find out your car won't start anyway.

   -A student "DJ for a day." Wouldn't it be fun to have music playing in the halls while you're walking between classes?

   -Only eight absences? That's just not working for some of us, which means more time spent with the administration.

   -No more Apple computers! How are those "user-friendly" computers helping us, when the only place that they're ever used is in schools? So, unless you're going to work in a school, you will have no future in computers.

   -No more Computer Apps or P.E. Well, at least Computer Apps has PC's.

   -We need a place in the school to buy deli sandwiches. You know, we could go all-out and order sandwiches before school so they'd be ready by lunch...

   -A better heating system, especially in the really old parts of the school, like the half floors. It's been proven by scientists that if the temperature is too cold, you won't be able to learn to your full extent.
