WHAT SAY YOU? Petition to fix carpets in Yr 12 building

7 March, 2011 - Sinister Crab | 0 Comments

To Brother Paul Rogers, Mr Peter Riordan, et al:
We, the students of De La Salle College, Kinnoull Campus, wish to protest at the deplorable state of the ground floor of the Year 12 building. The carpeting of the Physics and Biology laboratories was flooded last year, and again recently, resulting in a dreadful damp. Efforts to fix this (an ancient dehumidifying machine that leaked) have not only proved ineffectual, but have perhaps made matters worse. This damp is a harbour for bacteria and other harmful organisms. It may lead to respiratory problems, infections and allergies. Year Twelve is the most important year of our schooling and a week indisposed with a chest infection could potentially have disastrous results. We implore you to consider this and to take action to repair the damage.
Sincerely

Beware the Anger of the Legions

"We had been told, on leaving our native soil, that we were to defend the sacred rights conferred on us by so many of our citizens settled overseas, so many years of our presence, so many benefits brought by us to populations in need of our assistance and civilization. We were able to verify that this was true, and because it was true, we did not hesitate to shed our quota of blood, to sacrifice our youth and our hopes. We regretted nothing, but whereas we over here are inspired by their frame of mind, I am told that in Rome factions and conspiracies are rife, that treachery flourishes, and that many people in their uncertainty and confusion lend a ready ear to the dire temptations of relinquishment and vilify our action. I cannot believe that all this true, and yet recent wars have shown how pernicious such a state of mind could be and to where it could lead. Make haste to reassure me, I beg you, and tell me that our fellow citizens understand us, support us and protect us as we protect the glory of the Empire. If it should be otherwise, if we should leave our bleached bones on these desert sands in vain, then BEWARE THE ANGER OF THE LEGIONS!!"
