Generalissimo Terenzio Dunn addresses the public on new policies at a post-GQ press confrence. Although he did ask for questions, he refused to acknoledge or respond to them.

Martial law declared on campus By Dr. Richard Norton Co-Propaganda Editor Generalissimo Terenzio Dunn declared martial law on the South Pasadena High School campus effective Friday, March 28, a decree that will apply to all students within 500 yards of school borders. The new policy includes an extension of the 20 minute rule to 50 minutes for students wishing to use the restroom, a ban on all club events and gatherings of any kind, and a mandatory eight-period schedule for all seniors. Dunn, known to be a stalwart supporter of school security, made the decision as a response

to yesterday’s attempted coup led by the San Marino-supported social studies department. “During this period of crisis and conflict against the San Marino menace, it is imperative that we maintain internal solidarity,” Dunn said. “I can assure all students and parents that the integrity, academic culture, and absolute absence of dissent at SPHS will be maintained at any cost.” Dunn reaffirmed his agenda of sweeping reforms that include last week’s cancellation of late starts and the revocation of senior privilege cards. Dunn also announced plans to gradually reduce food and water rations over the next few weeks and to take

control of the aquaponics garden for military use. With regards to the continued war against San Marino, Dunn announced yet another victory on the front with the decisive capture of Huntington Middle School and expects to advance on Crowell Public Library within the next few days. A fresh battalion of volunteers will also be sent to bolster the southern flank against the Moorish marauders from Alhambra. Administration continues to remind students that anyone found wandering on campus during times other than brunch and lunch will be terminated on sight Chandraguptadehlimeatpiscinepatel Smith by Tiger Links enforcers.

Bye Tigers- Go SPHS sloths! By Shine Cho Jr. #photocreds Editor The South Pasadena High School administration announced the sloth as the new school mascot on Monday, March 23. Sloths are extremely slow-moving animals found in the rainforest of Central and South America. Their popularity has been overwhelming the last couple of years. After a long discussion between the school and the dis-

trict, SPHS made the decision to follow the trend and change its mascot to a sloth. Furthermore, it is planned that there will be a couple of pet sloths around the campus beginning next semester. “We believe that the sloth is undoubtedly the best representation of our school’s values. Its deep, round eyes resemble our students’ kind eyes, and its slow movement resembles our students relaxed personalities,” Anderson said. “There’s no doubt the students will be delighted to watch the sloths around the campus.”

The new SPHS sloths practice their football skills. Hopefully they will be able to teach something to the varsity team.

Shortly after the GQ Assembly on Friday, March 14, where the California Science Center was announced as the 2014 prom site, the Endeavour Space Shuttle was found cut from its harness. Although no one has been charged for the crime, police have reason to believe that it was an upset senior. The junior class officers, with little time to spare, were able to find an alternate location. The upcoming prom will be held at the Target store in Alhambra. It was reported that more excitement was shown for the new decision. Due to the alternate location, a new dress code has been placed on the event. All attendees must wear the traditional Target red and khaki. For the first time, freshman

and sophomores will be invited to the event to provide transportation to and from departments for the upperclassmen via red carts. It has also been announced that the lucky girl crowned Prom Queen will pose front page for this week’s Target ad. Dinner will still be provided. Now the sit down meal will be catered by Pizza Hut and all beverages served by Starbucks. Bullseye, the Target dog, will be the drugsniffing canine for the evening instead of the usual South Pasadena Police dog. A relaxation area as well as a place to sit and chat will be offered in the patio furniture department. The junior class officers ask that any song requests be registered at www.target.com. Expect more, pay less.

Although the tiger was quite nice, the students are excited to welcome the new mascot. ASB will be starting fundraisers to raise money for adopting the pet sloths. The administration is also considering a reconstruction of the school to make it a friendlier environment for sloths. When it is approved, the planned reconstruction will begin in midMay. The campus will be planting more trees, enough for the sloths to be able to climb from one to another without having to ever come down. It may be a little inconvenient to walk around, but the administration concluded that it is extremely important to make it feel like home for the sloths.The orange walls will be repainted to nature-like colors, such as green and brown. “This is the best decision South Pasadena High School has made ever,” sophomore president Christina Valdivia said. “The sloth is definitely my ideal mascot.” When Anderson visited the sloths they said, “This is so excting, it is the best thing that has ever happened to us since we were named the slowest animal on earth!”

Asher pursues career in construction By Mrbigwang.123 Self Employed Apart from being wellversed in Neo-Platonist philosophy, varsity tennis strategy, and English literature from Shakespearean poetry to Edwardian prose, English Department Chair Mr. Jim Asher is also a master builder and architect – not to mention a really swell guy! Asher had humble beginnings in the construction industry. He built his first creation, a statue of “Thomas the Train Engine” at the age of three with only two hands. Not three, not one – two! Amazing. Since then, his passion for blending cement, wood, steel, Legos, Bionicle parts, and raw skill into timeless works of architectural grandeur has inspired millions across the globe and galaxy. The single, most remarkable factor that separates Asher’s creations from that of other greats, including Frank Lloyd Wright, Michelangelo, Le Corbusier, and Mr.BigWang123, among others, is his small, yet salient addition of untainted love to everything he builds.

“First, I create love by combining the warmth of my heart and the smiles of students,” Asher said while expertly crafting a sustainable toilet. “Then, I blend the love into a delicate powder. By Jove, it is a beautiful sight to see. Finally, when all that is done, I sprinkle the love onto my creation and magic ensues.” Asher is currently working on a cottage that, rumor has it, will be able to house three hundred mighty elephants alongside thirteen corgis. Although the project in still in the works, those who have seen it have all cried over its sheer beauty. “I could hardly stop crying when I first cruised by,” said Thomas the Train Engine, wiping the tears off his steam generator. “It was so darn beautiful. You know the feeling that you get when the sun rises up and in the horizon, a majestic stallion gallops by with its hair flowing in the wind, and at the same time, you’re enjoying your favorite flavor of ice cream served in a cone of magical rainbows and smiles? That’s exactly how I felt.”
