History, Part 2

Pito watched the goslings with an intent stare. He needed them to complete their formations with precision and expertise well beyond their age and training.

When one of the geese lost his footing and tripped, everyone watching groaned.

Pito suddenly had an idea though, he hurried over to the fallen goose and helped him to his feet.

"I think you would make a perfect distraction for your battalion," Pito told the young goose.

"But, I keep tripping," the boy stammered.

"Exactly," Pito agreed. "I want you in the front when we get near the end. I want you to fall and distract the enemy from what's happening."

"But I thought we were going to fly in formation?" the goslings clamored.

"You'll fly to within a half mile, then," Pito paused for dramatic effect, "You'll go in on foot. They will be completely confused."

"Who's going to fly in?" one of the geese asked.

Pito smiled. "I have some ideas," he replied as he motioned them back into formation. "Now if only I can distract everyone long enough,"

Until next time, be ever attentive!

Notes To Keep Your Family From Worrying

This is a good example of a note sent home by a former student that is NOT acceptable.

Dear Mom and Dad,

Today was a good day. Early this morning our principal received word that Elsie was planning an attack. We were put on high alert and taken to the bus station. 

Some of us thought we were being sent home since it was dangerous but our teachers told us we were being readied to head to the front line to help fight the Evil Elsie. 

I'm just glad that Nora called off the high alert before we left. I was able to go back to school and eat my peanut butter and jelly sandwich. 

Odd, I don't remember us ever being given peanut butter before...

Oh well, miss you lots!

Love, 

Mary


Please remember when writing home, no details of any mission, whether undertaken or not are to be given. Including that we were on high alert. We don't want your parents to worry about you.

History, Part 1 or Orientation, Part 8

Pito paced the garden below Nora's room. He needed to find a way to attack Evil Emperoress Elsie's Fortress. It was a well known fact that simply knocking on the door resulted in a long drawn out Knock Knock joke that never was funny. Though Elsie always laughed hysterically.

Just as he was about to give up and head inside to discuss plans with the rest of the llama squad a battalion of geese ran past him, charging up the hill.

Pito watched as the oldest of the geese honked orders at the young cadets.

Suddenly he had an idea for getting into the Fortress.

Pito ran for the Flying Goose Battalion's training gym. Inside he saw many young geese scurrying around, doing as their instructors honk at them. He saw the general and hurried over to him.

"General Bonk! Captain Pito DeLlama with an idea on getting our lion back, Sir!" Pito said excitedly as he saluted his superior officer.

"What's your idea, Captain?" General Bonk asked.

"Sir, I think we should use your battalion as a distraction."

"My battalion is very young, they are not ready for a battle," the general told him with a frown.

"Sir, I think they should fly over the fortress. It's a well-known fact that Emperoress Elsie loves to watch the geese fly, as do her minions. That should distract her while the rest of us attack," Pito explained.

"My battalion isn't ready to fly! They're still practicing maneuvers on the ground!"

" I know Sir, but desperate times call for desperate measures!"

"Tell me more of your plan," General Bonk said as he and Pito walked toward the General's office.

Until next time, be ever attentive!

Complaints and the Addition of Electives

It has come to the attention of the administration that many students have yet to return from their Winter Holidays. While under normal circumstances we'd be preparing the dungeons and whips, our whip master has yet to return as well. Since none of the staff are willing to venture into the South Hall, the administration has decided to extend your holidays until the 16th of January.

There have also been a large number of complaints about the lack of electives being offered. As such, the administration will be compiling a list of 11 electives to offer. Each student must take 10 of these 11 during their five year tenure.

We will be posting the electives next week. We expect all students to sign up for their electives before the end of the day or you will assigned to a class.
