sponsible for the melee. Kevin, whose hair was a white foamy mess,
said his girlfriend, Tracy, made him pie-eyed. Amy Lennon, of the 7th
grade, was answerable for the pie face of Mrs. Harrison. She said she
was chosen as a pie thrower because she had good manners, while
Bethany Daron, 8th grade, claimed she was chosen because of her
status on the yearbook staff, before she too ate humble pie. It ended
30 minutes later in a free for all, with everyone getting a share of the
pie. The scent of minty shaving cream filled the air—and the floor, and
the hair, and—well, shaving cream pie was everywhere.
The afternoon of fun began with a faculty/student basketball game.
Students lined the bleachers holding hastily crafted signs high, urging
on their fellow students. As the disc jockey played loud music in the
breaks between the play periods, Ryan Milford, son of gym teacher
Skip Milford, refereed the game and claimed the students fouled the
faculty most often. Play between the teams was hot and heavy.
At a score of 77 to 58 in favor of the faculty, the game was prema-
turely halted when Mrs. Maryann Belles, Learning Support teacher
wearing the fated number 13 on her jersey, came down hard and
wrong on her ankle. Amid cries of “Go get Regina!” school nurse Mod-
rosky came running with ice. Relieved students gave Belles a rousing
standing ovation as she was carried by stretcher to the ambulance
and taken to Mercy Hospital in Wilkes-Barre.
Like many other famed athletes, Mrs. Belles suffered a severed
Achilles tendon, for which she underwent surgery Saturday at Mercy
Hospital. She will be out of the classroom for several weeks of recuper-
ation.
Principal Glogowski assured the students Mrs. Belles would want
them to carry on and have a good time, which they did, easy as pie.
One young male student was overheard in the hallway, holding Mrs.
Belles responsible for the students’ loss of the basketball
game.
The Builders Club at Lake-Lehman Middle Level Educa-
tion Building knows that doing for others is as American as
mom's apple pie. The organization raised $2,000 for the
United Way selling patriotic T-shirts and collected $1,180
for the American Red Cross disaster relief fund following the
Sept. 11 tragedy.
John Sobocinski called the celebration to order,
or maybe disorder.
