          Dear Sir,
               Is a Communist spy ring operating in W.H.S. ? The other morning a
          large figure in black trousers, Canadian jacket, goggles and crash helmet.
          with a sack slung across his back, was observed trying to sneak into school.
          Upon being questioned he said he was trying to avoid the vigilante Detention
          Patrol. Investigations are continuing and if necessary this individual may
          be deported — to somewhere like Brisbane State High.
