The Student versus Faculty Bowlathon is taking place a week from Wednesday, on September 5th at Spare Time Hixson, any time between 3 and 5, for the cheap, cheap price of ten dollars. Mr. Friedlander has been hearing some smack talk from the FFA students, and he thinks if any of them come to the bowling alley, they'll just get ground up into mulch. Is the FFA going to take that? Show up at the Student versus Faculty Bowlathon to find out!” cheap white homecoming dresses
