To whom it may concern:
Upon recent viewing of your webpages concerning the Formal Day and Banquet held here at Worsley Central School, we were dismayed to discover the irreverent fashion in which you reported this dignified event.
First, we would like to make it clear that at no time did anyone spill or dribble anything on their clothing, as you suggest. It is true that Andrew did discover a little mustard on his tie, and, yes, Tracy's dress was a little messed up after the incident with the ketchup bottle. But to portray our students as sloppy bumbling idiots is perhaps a little far from the truth. With the possible exception of the grade 11 class.
We would also like to take exception to the thoughtless and demeaning photographs you included of Mr. Carrell and Mr. Golonowski, which implied that their taste in formal wear was less than impeccable. It's not their fault if they have no fashion sense whatsoever. It was less than tasteful of you to use these photographs.
We would also like to point out that at no time did Mrs. Speck get any sour cream up her nose.
Finally, we really object to the cartoon of Ryan on the first page. Did you think we wouldn't recognize him? Of course, we knew it was him right away. Shame on you!
In conclusion, we would like to state that we were very disappointed with the tone of your pages, and will expect much better things from you in the future.
Yours sincerely,
for the WCS Students' Union
