Principal Pied … Dean Ducks.
From Common Ground Announcements 9.27.12
“The ODW pie-ing will be held on Friday, October 12th during activity period. Vote for your favorite teacher by putting money in his or her jar in the library. Only the highest-fundraising teachers will be pied. You can also enter your name into a raffle to win the honor of throwing a pie. The proceeds from the pie-ing will go to the Selamta family project.”
Principal Justin Campbell demonstrates with his body his wish to pay his respects to all the hallowed traditions of HHS. A rookie to the rough life of HHS, Mr. Campbell stands tall and calm, while allowing students to squash a cream pie into his face. Then showing no hard feelings in response to this cruel treatment, he “thanks” his jovial tormenters, Kalin McGowan and Helen Tosteson.
On the other hand, seasoned participant and HHS Dean, Ian Smith, knowing in advance what is likely to befall him, was willing to break with a six-year tradition of submission at HHS. Then, having once outmaneuvered his nemesis, Julia Thompson, wily Mr. Smith appeared to have a change of heart, standing still, looking remorseful at her disappointed face and readying himself for the second pie throw. Meanwhile, a crowd of students were standing on tiptoes with eager faces to see the school’s chief cop get a sweet facial at last. Then, after Thompson retrieved the pie from the ground, Mr. Smith outsmarted her a second time. Much to everyone’s surprise, the gooey remnants of the pie flew past his shoulder into the startled crowd of students. All in all, everyone was entertained by this jolly rout. Mr. Smith was heard muttering that he would be hiding from Thompson until she could forget her lost opportunity. He can be sure that she won’t forget it.
Other staff are glad they have donned protective eyewear according to proper lab procedure.
