 CHAPTER 26

 

—WEDNESDAY NIGHT NEWS—

Commentator Celeste:

In other news, unknown pranksters taped paper over the entrance to Mr. Hendersen’s office/apartment late Sunday night. The paper . . . which covered the doorway from top to bottom . . . sported a life-sized drawing of a well-known comic book hero on its inside. And so, as an unsuspecting Mr. Hendersen opened his door Monday morning, he was greeted by the caped crusader himself . . . Batman. When reached for a comment after the episode, Mr. Hendersen was quoted as saying, “I like Batman.” Jody.

Commentator Jody:

In a late-breaking news item, the school sponsored “Senior Trip” will be taking place this coming Friday and Saturday. Organized annually for the benefit of the graduates-to-be, the bus ride and hotel stay-over are considered a “bonus” that is given to the students for four years of hard work. Senior trips, in the past, have been reported to have involved a great deal of, and I quote, “Fun and frivolity.” The exact destination for this year’s trip has not yet been disclosed, but all twenty-five seniors have been asked to be “ready to go” when classes end on Friday.
