-reported by Nick Kent-
This story comes to us courtesy of
a high-ranking school official. According to our informant, the
office received a phone call from a man claiming to be the father of a
student. Let's call him John Smith.
The man told the office that it
was an emergency and that he needed to speak to his son immediately.
The office called the boy down, but were suspicious due to the area code
of the phone call which had it coming from New Westminster. The office
decided to make a phone call to the address listed in the school
directory.
When they made the call, they
realized that the original call must have been a hoax. After
talking to the real Mr. Smith and confirming that there was no
emergency, they decided to ask the hoaxster if he'd like to speak to his
double.
The reply was a very gruff
sounding, "Ah, I have to go now!" and then followed the sound of a
click as he hung up.
As it turns out the caller was
sitting in bed in New Westminster at a friends house, skipping school
and trying to get his friend out of class. The boys later apologized
and faced no further punishment. But rest assured, Mr. Smith won't
call in from New West. any more.

Ever lost a pencil? A
hat? How about a pair of jeans... What about a locker door?!
Well you're about to meet one unfortunate soul who couldn't quite keep
track of her locker door.
We received this account
from the door-less girl herself. She confessed her story after we
asked her how her locker came to rest on the floor. Apparently, it
was a bad egg right from the start. The lock on the locker never
locked, so she would just pull it open. The contents would often
be found spilled all over the floor. The trouble continued.
It was constantly jammed, and after trying many times to push pull or
other wise break the safe-like box open, she learned the best technique
of all: kick it. After months of daily beatings, the locker had
enough abuse, and the door came right off.
So the unfortunate recipient of
the faulty locker arrived one morning to find her locker sitting on the
floor in front of the locker it belonged to.
The door has since been replaced
and is functioning well.
