Saturday afternoon, the beau-
tiful flowers were torn up with
hands, stamped on, kicked
around, and thrown in’ the
garbage.

Tagree with the iany peo-
ple that think that older
teenagers are doing this. They
usually do this either to be cool
or because of stress, similar to
their reasons for smoking. The
times that chis vandalism seers
to be mostly happening are
from 1] p.im.-1 a.m. on long
weekends.

Lots of other schools have
more vandalism. Up until now
our schoo} has been fortunate
to not be vandalized much at
all. To stop this new problem
right away, the school is get-
ting security cameras and
probably some other forms of
security as well.

So whoever vandalized will
soon get caught!
