LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Dear Sir,
Each weekday afternoon, students from Froghill College can be seen walking along Hollybush Lane smoking what I believe are referred to as ‘reefers’.
This not only leaves the pavements littered with discarded roaches, it also damages peoples’ gardens when stoned smokers pass out and fall face forward into their flower beds.
My husband Clive and I mentioned this matter to the college principal last term. She was very polite and assured us that she would address the situation. She informed us that henceforth students would be encouraged to get high on college premises rather than in public.
Further, she proposed that spaced-out students be required to walk home in single file along the white line in the centre of Hollybush Lane. By keeping them off the pavements, she promised, the wanton destruction of local flora would be avoided.
This did, indeed, take place until just before Christmas. This term, however, the problem is worse than ever, and we have to step carefully over supine bodies and shredded blooms every afternoon!
This needs to be stopped before it gets out of control.
It is my personal belief that young people should use drugs only under the strictest supervision, and under no circumstances should they do so outdoors. This is especially true in respect of the more potent hallucinogens.
I know that my letter is likely to give Froghill College a bad name. If so, then tough. Someone needed to grasp this nettle and say something.
I’m just sorry it had to be me.
Yours, concerned,
N.O. Ziparka (Mrs)
Froghill
