Newark Academy Commandments

By Joe DeNoon Sr.

 THIS JUST IN

A list of rules and regulations has been put forth for all students to follow…

  1. Do not take the Athletic Director, Mr. Gilbreath’s first name in vain. Detention will ensue.
  2. When thou hast seen a senior walking down the hallway in the opposite direction from thou, part to either side. Thy senior shalt feel like Moses.
  3. Thou shalt not sit three people at one table in thy cafeteria and three people at another. Mingle. Make Friends.
  4. Thou shalt not step on my backpack when entering morning meeting. I have important stuff in there guys. You don’t even know.
  5. Thou shalt let a senior cut you in line for Fro-Yo. We have TOK. And a lab. And bridge CCW.
  6. Seriously move.
  7. Thou shalt try to keep the new wing bathrooms clean. Nobody “goes” in the science corridor for a reason.
  8. Thou shalt not covet the 15-minute middle school lunch. You guys look like a pack of hyenas at the cafeteria doors. Although I’m guilty of that on fritters day.
  9. Thou shalt cease practicing the drums in the library.
  10. Thou shalt not bring bears to school. Or fake bears. Those are equally scary, for a moment.
