 CHAPTER 29

 

—WEDNESDAY NIGHT NEWS—

Commentator Brooke:

In a news event that has been described as baffling, twenty-five food trays were discovered missing from the school kitchen on Tuesday. The current where-abouts of the trays is unknown, and there are virtually no clues or leads to indicate just how such a . . . vanishing could have taken place. When asked to comment on the disappearance of the trays, school cook Harold Plummer said, “They couldn’t have just up and walked away on their own.” There will be, we assume, an ongoing investigation.

Commentator Beth:

And on a sad note, this is the final week of classes at Barclay’s. Class grades will be handed out at the end of classes on Thursday and Friday. Saturday . . . traditionally the “moving out day” . . . will see the distribution of diplomas to the seniors. Barclay school administrator James Hendersen has asked us to say that he will personally deliver the diplomas to the seniors’ dorm wing at around 10 a.m. Saturday.
