The Strange Case of the Hanover High Shocker
In May of 2000, it was reported in the local paper that thirty-four
students who had attended Hanover High School in Pennsylvania had had
their pictures taken for the school yearbook giving an obscene gesture.
The principal, John P. Cokefair, had sent a letter to the thirty-four
students' parents explaining that because of the preponderance of this
gesture in the photos, the offending photos would be re-taken, without
the gesturing students, and these students would bear the cost of the
re-shoot.
Additionally, the students were to recieve community service for a day,
and seniors who did not show up would be denied their diplomas, while
truant underclassmen would be given a three-day suspension.
An outsider who hears this story naturally asks the same question: How
were thirty-four students able to give the finger and not get caught
until it was necessary to replace the photos? </snip>
