BONES BRIGADE
I'm a fifteen year old skater with
an old Mike McGill who wants to
know the secret of a moving ollie.
A Skater With No Answers
No Good Terrain,TX
The secret to a good ollie is relax-
ing and not forcing the motion.
Practice and you're in there.
HOME ALONE
About two weeks ago I went out
partying with my skater friends. I got
drunk and spent the night at a guy's
house. My parents don't trust me
because they didn't know where I
was at and now I'm on house arrest
for a month. I'm also not allowed to
hang out with my friends anymore.
Uncle
Burly
Do I sneak around and do what I
want like I used to or do I start being
a schoolgirl and find new friends?
Cary Holden
Patterson, CA
Do what you want, but always be
prepared for the consequences.
QUICK CASH
I need a new skate. How can I get
some cash other than asking my par
ents or weaseling $99 off my bro
who's got $2,000?
Money Grubber

If your bro has two grand, ask him
to sport some cash.

SIXTH GRADE VS PRISON
Compare these amazing similarities in the lives of
sixth graders and prisoners doing time for murder:
Both are bound by the clock.
Both are constrained to dress like
those around them. Hair length for
males is watched closely-though
prisoners have more freedom in this
area than sixth graders.
Both are supposed to learn what
society exprets: Do what you're i
told. Work hard. Don't break the
nales. Don't hit or bite. Put things
back wear you found them. Cross
on the green and not inbetween.
Keep your hands to yourself. The
policeman is there to protect you.
Respect authority
Sixth graders have to ask permis
sion to go and use the toilet, prison-
ers can go when they want.
Both are issued a small space for
personal belongings that is subject
to Inspection for weapons, drugs
and forbidden items
Both spend lots of time shuffling
about in long lines. No shoving is
allowed. Seats are assigned.
Both are known by a number. A
prisoner knows his number, a sixth
grader doesn't.
Infractions such as fighting or
smarting off are dealt with by a
period of isolation.
Both are expected to appreciate
the American government. Neither
can vote.
A fierce pecking order is estab
lished among groups of students
and prisoners. Those with access to
wealth from the "outside" can allevi
ate the harshness of institutional
ble with small luxuries, like candy.
Prisoners can have cigarettes too.
sidh graders can't. They can't have
Playboy either. There are distinct
groupings among prisoners and
sixth graders, such as roughnecks.
Intellectuals and crazy loners.
Use of the library is encouraged.
Content of the library is, of course,
closely monitored. Learning of use-
ful skills is encouraged. Destruction
of library materials is forbidden
Newcomers are not mixed in with
"fers. Likewise, first graders are
not allowed to mingle, unsupervised
with sixth graders. This is to pre-
vent the rougher "long-timers" from
terrorizing the newcomers, as well
as to prevent the premature trans-
mission of bad habits and attitudes
A limited period of exercise is t
allowed around noon. It's over when
the bell goes off.
