Now the story of ol Jim.

Jim was a big old log and he weighed alot too. And one really intelligent student (who the writer of this paper thinks is very stupid) decided it would be a fabulous idea to have Jim as a token of the high school.

Little did we know that Jim had a weight problem. Four hefty boys, a couple linemen,a linebacker, and a Biology student took the task of carrying Jim up a hill that had an angle of about 60 degrees.For one hour Jim the log was carried inch by inch up a 30 foot incline.

Jim arrived at our school in one piece but after the unloading incident which required two dollies and six people. Jim will be resting forever in two very large and heavy pieces. His final resting places will be in the renovated courtyard of Russell High School(Habitat Improvement). So ended the ballad of Ol Jim.
