£et ^Kere be CDusic ...
id you ever notice all the differ- kinds of music around this J tm / place? From rap to metal, to ... what’s that? ... You haven’t? That must be because boom boxes are forbidden around here, especially in the academic
wing. This is a problem.
The reason I say this is because the
music we listen to is an extension of our­ selves. It’s part of us, a part we should be able to express! Not allowing us to show this side of us is almost as limiting as what music we CAN listen to.
But now I hear all you faculty complain­
ing "Those things aren’t forbidden . . . ” Yeaaa right. The handbook bans these things, but did you ever take a boom box out on the front steps during lunch? Or worse, after school? There’s no way you’re going to get three notes out of the thing before somebody comes and pulls the plug.
I realize that a lot of you are saying, "who cares?” you can listen to your own music at home.” Well, maybe you can but I, as well as many other seniors, feel strongly about our music and like to be able to enjoy it within the hours that we’re trapped here.
