The Lore of Western

       This week we went more in depth on Mr. Kim’s side of the story on the catacombs of Western. As most of you know Mr. Steven Kim has been working in our fine school for 11 years and just now feels comfortable telling us more about his story. 
We asked Mr. Kim about the first time he went down to the catacombs and his response was shocking at least. Kim said he was down there once and he thought it was very dark, dense, thought he could hear rats, and a child on a squeaky tricycle. 
       He also said he was blindfolded and in his words it was a “teacher initiation, like a fraternity where they drag you down there- I can’t say everything that happens down but they blindfold you and leave you down there and you have to kinda saw seven your way out.” 
      When asked what else is down there Mr. Kim speculated, saying “there might be a place for manny petties, the pool that is Mr. Sponsler’s 8th hour, a snow cone machine, and a large slip in slide.” 
      When Mr. Kim was asked what is in the depths of the catacombs he speculated it could be the center of the Earth, meaning of life, and perhaps Al Capone. Finally when asked if he believes there might be missing students down there he said there maybe but he also believes close to the end of the year when things are rapping up some kids may try to “Shawshank Redemption their way out and they’re never heard from again.” 

         In closing, Mr. Kim believes there is more than we can ever know down in the catacombs and we may never find out what mysteries are under our own very feet.
