Time Capsule from 2012...

Dear Future Lloyd:

This message was written on Friday, March 30, 2012, the last day before Spring Break, but it's not scheduled to appear on the blog until 8:00 a.m. on Wednesday, May 1, 2013. That means classes are starting about now, and all the non-college-class kids are scrambling to make it to first period, or face the dreaded march to Mrs. Partridge in the attendance office.

I thought I'd write something like this while I still can (in other words, before somebody decides to change the blog password and lock me out). Since it's 2013, we now officially know that the world hasn't ended and that the Mayans, when they weren't smoking exotic drugs or carving out a jaguar's heart to try to make it rain, were writing a faulty calendar...or at least one that we can't read correctly. We can all breathe a sigh of relief until the next Apocalypse hysteria grips us in a decade or so. I'm guessing it'll be 2:22p.m. on February 22nd, 2022. Make sure to build a bunker for 2:22 2-22-22!!!

Congratulations to the senior class of 2013, who are juniors as I'm writing this.

Best wishes to the 2012-13 juniors on their ACT scores, which I'm sure are awesome.

Some other things I hope:
1. If Mrs. Morris is seen wandering the halls during class, I hope someone tells her, "Don't worry, I'm sure your class is fine."

2. I hope the Tatler's running smoothly, and that nobody has to harass Mrs. Gillis about how to copy it this year, because I left instructions.

3. If Mr. Haynes makes a joke, I hope somebody laughs.

4. I hope Ms. Jump still says "pa-diddle" and "nuts," and dings her bell when somebody makes a funny.

5. Mrs. Donnell is still tough as nails. (I don't even really have to hope this; it's a foregone conclusion.)

6. By now either Ms. Roberts or Ms. Sastre should have won the Golden Apple Award from the NKY academic community. If one of them hasn't, the NKY academic community should go back to school.

Writing this was terrible fun.

Thanks, Lloyd, even though I'm long gone.

Stop Slacking.... It's Time to get Serious!

Written by:  Felicia Pelfrey

Okay seniors, there are 21 days until graduation.  Prom is literally a day away and you also need to order your cap/gown, class ring, year book, and senior pics!! 

            If you have not ordered your cap and gown yet, you better get to it because there is an additional charge and it will be increasing the longer you procrastinate.  You don’t want to be the senior who can’t walk or sticks out at graduation because you were a slacker and don’t have the right gown.

 Class rings can also be ordered online on Balfour’s website if you still need one.  Year books are selling fast, so you better get one before there out!  And for senior pictures, you better take them soon because you aren’t going to be able to give them to your friends and teachers if you wait much longer.

            You better get things in order because graduation will be here before you know it.  So stop slacking SENIORS and get serious!

The High Schooler's Guide to the Galaxy!

By Naomi Hillard

On April 24^th and 25^th, 2013, Mrs. Lawson has scheduled for some very talented Lloyd Memorial High School students to perform a play for the first time in a while. The setting of our play will take place in different parts of a school. The plays theme is how life is in High School. All the students that will perform in the play have been working there butts off as soon as Mrs. Lawson says, “Action!” This play will be very well performed because it relates to the students’ actual lives whether it is bullying, materials, classes, dances, lunch, gym class, or relationships.

SOME INPUT FROM OUR DIRECTOR & SOME OF THE PERFORMERS:

“I am extremely proud of how hard these students have worked on this play. Every time I ask for something to be done, it gets done. I’m happy to be presenting this play with these specific students because they are all so talented. There are some pretty extreme parts in this play, and they seem to have the lines down by the snap of a finger. I am so excited to watch this play myself, and to see the reactions that the audience will show. Practice has been going fantastic and it is easy to see how much effort and creativity that all of my actors have!” –Mrs. Lawson

“I’ve never been in a play before and it’s really fun! I get to be a whole different person!” –Stacey Rider

“The preparations are getting really hectic but I think it will all come together in the end.” –Olivia McSwain

“I’m glad it’s a comedy because even if we mess up…It will still be funny. Break a leg!” –Nia Evans

Dr Love's Relationship Rescue Kit

By Brandon Love

 

When you and your significant other are having trouble, “Remember, it’s just a bad day, not a bad relationship.” Here are some tips to make sure both of you get through the bumpy road.

·         If you’re arguing over text, call your partner instead because texts don’t have emotion like the voice of your boyfriend or girlfriend.

·         Do Not, I repeat, DO NOT think an argument is a laughing matter. Know when stuff gets real.

·         Truly stop and think about what the fuss is about. You guys could be arguing about something really dumb.

Dear Dr. Love,

                        This will be my 10 months with my wonderful girlfriend. We do monthiversaries until we reach the 1 year mark. Every month I have done something cute to express how much I love her. One month I made her a picture book, another I made her go on a scavenger hunt. My mind for this month is a complete blank. Do you have any ideas?

Sincerely,

Empty Minded

Dear Empty Minded,

        I have a great idea for you. Since its Valentine’s Day season, why don’t you write a love poem showing how much you care and love her. Possibly get 10 roses to symbolize your all’s 10 months! I’m sure she will love it. I hope you have a great Valentine’s Day and a wonderful 10 months!

Sincerely,

Dr. Love
