It took a few minutes, but the crowddid settle down.Mr. Lewis asked Jeremy Stone, a sophomore, to lead them in the pledge ofallegiance. When he was d...ne, Mr. Lewis, said, "Thank you, Jeremy. Okthe meeting is now in order. Members of the board, I suggest thatconsidering the circumstances that we dispense with the normal businessof the board for this meeting and address the issue that has brought outthe community in such large numbers. Any objections?" Mr. Lewis looked at each board member,. Dolly was pretty smart and she set the standard for being a good child and student but she wasn't perfect. She committed her share of mistakes, just as any other girl of her age would have. She has had a couple of boyfriends through school and she wasn't a virgin after prom night. She has always been a girl with a healthy sexual appetite. Regardless, she did pretty good in school and got into college with a scholarship.Although college wasn't that far from home, Dolly opted to stay at the dorms. No one could figure out what was wrong, but Alquat seemed to waste away. It was as if he were being eaten alive from within, and he was often in great pain, but Alquat would not step back from his obligations as pharaoh. Nevertheless, Kilgot took on more and more of the ceremonial functions of the pharaoh until it seemed that he was the actual pharaoh in all but name.Well, the event everybody was expecting finally happened: Alquat died one night in his sleep. Hepsol, his favorite wife was with. . or one that would be floor length except for her 6" platforms...but it's so tight she can't even put one foot in front of the other. So sheshuffles along, painfully slowly, towards me, hands outstretched forbalance.I don't giggle, I feel sorry for her more than anything, especially as thenormally strict supervisors don't seem interested in quieting the teasingand finger pointing... Candy's bright red and almost in tears as shereaches the desk, if I could I'd get up and help her sit.Finally.
