"Boy, Time Does Fly!"

As most of you know from reading Megan’s interview, there was a “harmless prank” played on our wonderful high school teacher, Mrs. Androvich. I thought I would tell you the story of how it all came about:

Last Tuesday, we skipped morning announcements and started our classes early at 8:30 a.m. The extra time we gained made for such a long morning (it felt like forever) and helped me to finish my work way ahead of schedule. Mrs. Androvich was in a class with the seniors helping them with advanced algebra. While reading my Social Studies assignment, I looked up at the clock and thought, “It would be so funny if we moved the clock forward an hour or so.” Megan walked by my desk after scoring her work and I briefly told her my idea. She sat down and laughed but agreed to get Chris to be the one to move the hands forward on our classroom clock. Pretending to score his work, Chris stood near the scoring table and waited for me to give him the signal that all was clear. While Mrs. Androvich was writing on the board, I gave him the okay and Chris quickly took down the clock and moved the hands forward 45 minutes. When he tried to put it back up, the nail holding it to the wall fell on the floor! We were all relieved when he finally got the clock back to where it was supposed to be without Mrs. Androvich catching on.

We waited while Mrs. Androvich helped Luke, wishing and hoping that they would get done soon! But they didn’t, and the clock ticked away the time until it read 11:50 a.m.—the time we get ready for gym. So we moved the clock BACK to 11:30, and waited AGAIN while Mrs. Androvich helped Luke with his math. And the clock continued to tick until it read 11:50 a.m. for the second time that morning.

Mrs. Androvich finally finished with her math student and FINALLY looked at the clock; it read: 11:50 a.m. “Time to get ready for gym,” she told the class. And we all just sat there, not knowing how to act because we forgot to plan what we would do after Mrs. Androvich read the wrong time. So Chris and Stephan (knowing it wasn’t really time to get ready for gym) started playing ping-pong! “I said to go get changed for gym, not play ping pong,” said Mrs. Androvich. Then we all started laughing and our teacher said, “Did I miss something here?” Then we finally explained what had been happening and we all got a good laugh. By the time our “prank” was finished, it was 11:30 a.m. and we went back to work until it really was 11:50 a.m. It was really, really funny and now I think you understand the title of this article.

Yours for LIBA Cliff,
