THE ADVENTURES OF ROD AND JOHN
hi well thanks to the generosity of the vestige staff i am once again here with the closing episode of the famed epic that has attracted so much attention throughout the year yu may notice that there is no punctuation and/or capitalization--why yu may even find a word or
tu mispelt but if yu must know the reason why these basic essentials are absent from my prose its because i had horner and hopkins for english teachers well if this literature becomes too difficult to read i can only offer one solution.••that being to stop reading , the same solution applies if yu find these statements too harsh or ofending(i mean offending... is that right?)
well i now find myself within a few days of closing my academic doors to ves with my up- coming graduation (that is if sargent hackett is merciful on tomarro's trig exam) at the end of the year i find myself summing up my experience at ves and i guess the XHmH*(what i tell ya'll about things gittin' mispelt) time has come to sum up our adventures in this final episode kgd~i ( lord i wish somebody had learnt me to spell)
at the close of the year we find rod and john(i'm rod) looking forward to a rewarding summer and an exciting JH year at college john after being shot down at hew whoops.•. imean unc will ju~ny south to the university of georgia (iwas goin' to go there myself until i found out that john was goin' and i didn't feel like writing these precious moments for another year) rod also got shot down at hew whoops.••i mean unc so he will
be goin' to the land of leasure (suits) at north carolina state university (how do you like that tall guy) john hopes xa that if he goes to college he might finally get in the group but since he never made it here at ves i doubt there is much hope for him any- where else (i know ya'll agree) rod also failed to get into the group but his famed band of assosiates known throughout the school as the black sheep squadren continued to
climb the social ladder which in this case amounted to the rail road tracks at reusen's
life at school has had its ups and downs..•the latter xaH«w± being sandwiched in between masters wolf and mccormick as well as james magill with his five million watt super
dynamik twelve channel hyper dolbyized reduction desegregated circuit phase shifted digital locked control vibe sonic phonic stereo system which from the first day of school until
the time that i writ this has not seen a solitary moment of rest...there has been some excitement such as the discovery of the notorious gang known as the closet alchoholics which bit the dust when busted by mr. mac.••there was also the memorable ice fight at the watkin's house and eating soup steaks that john steele said WHXH were top choice serloin
(never seen a serloin at ten cents a pound steele)
well becouse john rarely does anything of interest i'll bag this dull doins because i hate to induce sleep through writin..•i did enough of that in the core program...
well the time has come to bid you farewell and just think yu won't be bothered by these timeless manuscripts ever again (that is if hackett pulls through on that exam) i leave all my best wishes to the class below me (only if they give their best wishes to me too) i'll remember these days of sweatin over a broken typwriter when in a few years i'm sittin in an air conditioned office with a couple of sleezy secretaries and a nagging wife (that is if i ever find somebody crazy enogh to marry me) bitchin about the
price of bread and ten chillin to have to bail out of jail and spoil or whatever.•• i'll wish i was back at ves but for now i'm glad to be movin' on•.. but ves has not been so bad.•• so you youngins take advantage of it .•• but don't worry about gettin into the damned group .••
