Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, November 1, 1995 - 7 ReaIIy Expeïnsive Wallpaper St. Stephen's High Sohool News Becky Bester poses against the wall in Father Bill Moloney's class, at St. Stephen's High Sehool. The students of Father Bil's- ciass have covered the walls of the classroom wth thousands of Trident wrappers. This wall alone hoids over 7200 wrappers; three walis in the classroom have been covered so far. The whole thmng began when Father Bill told his stu- dents how much he hated white walls, and that he wanted them covered. Students brought in things from home to cover the walls. Then one day someone stapled a gum wrapper to the wall. "'When 1 didn't say anything aboutit, more and more began to appear," said Father Bill. The wrappers are weaved into a variety of geometrie shapes creating a very interesting visu- aI effect. Trident was informed and they donated gum and the dlock on the wall to t he sehool. To get 7200 wrappers, they estimate it took over $700 worth of gum. That makes for real expensive wallpaper. had a very important meet- ing at 7:30 p.m. this past Monday, October 23rd. In attendance was our local MPP, Mr. John OToole, and the discussion deait with the fate of our "promised" new high sch ool. Over 100 peo- pie showed their support, including teachers, stu- dents, parents and adminis- trators. The meeting con- sisted of several speeches from trustees, concerned parents, students from our local elementary sehools, our very own student Prime Minister, Jen Eeuwes, and finally Mr. OToole who said that the decision will be made in early Novemiber. This was followed by a brief question perîod. We wouid like to thank those who attended for their support and we remain optimistie of the outcome.
