This seems to be the saying of all the teachers here at Highacres lately. Before too many more days pass, you'll probably hear the teachers reciting this little verse in class and their answer won't be long in coming. In just two short weeks, the final exams will begin. The schedule for these exams has been published and is not available in the main office. Pick up a copy and check it for your exams. If you find any conflicting schedules, please notify the main office before May 18. COLLSGTAN HAZLETON «... FINAL EXAMS Spring is sprung, The grass is riz. I wonder where The students is? L k /;
