No Long Term Environmental Damage Anticipated
September 21, 2007
For several frightening moments earlier this week, the all-dressed-up-and-no-where-to-go status of two young ladies brought corridor traffic to a standstill at AGHS.
The girls, willing participants in the annual "Dress Up Day" ritual accompanying Homecoming Week, attempted to use the same hallway at the same time. Gowns collided and disaster ensued.
Quick-thinking administrative action re-routed students via alternate hallways, including those at several neighboring schools in the United States and Canada. At the same time, emergency services agencies were contacted to assist in untangling the pile-up of frilly material.
As ambulances, police cruisers, fire trucks, medevac helicopters, and the usual looky-loos filled the streets and flight paths surrounding AGHS, first responders struggled to identify the exact nature of the problem. Shouts of "I got an Organdy Ordeal here" and "Organdy? No way! We have a Level One Taffeta Flow" and, of course, "Niner-five-one, Tulle Tribulation in progress" rang throughout the building, interrupted only by the occasional "What? What? What did he say?" heard over the wail of sirens.
While a Department of Homeland Security bomb disposal unit prepared to attempt a remote detonation of the evening gowns in question (and, collaterally, the girls encased in those gowns), a plucky seventh grade lad piped up, "Maybe they could just walk away from each other."
Taking one cautious step at a time, the two girls did just that. Within seconds, the congested hallway was open to traffic once again, and students got back to the important work of taking tests, completing assignments, posing thoughtful questions, and forging restroom passes.
After-incident reports indicated the building suffered minimal yet pesky smoke and water damage.
