Tuesday, December 9

Because of the Immaculate Conception Festival Week Poetry Contest tomorrow, no 2nd, 3rd or 4th period composition classes will meet tomorrow. There will, however, be a middle school "B" team basketball game at 2:45 Wednesday. Thus, sixth period will be given a work period on their Ferguson zingers.

So, 8th graders -- your Ferguson zingers are due Thursday.

HOOPER PROJECT: Congrats to those who memorized William Carlos Williams' "This Is Just To Say" today. The additional Hooper tonight, in honor of tomorrow's first "B" team basketball game, is about roundball. Three points to the first and one to each additional Comper who can tell me: (a) What was the original name of the NBA franchise now known as the Washington Wizards?, (b) What all-time great was nicknamed "The Black Jesus of Winston-Salem"?, and (c) Who was picked ahead of Len Bias in the 1986 NBA draft? Who got next?
