But that's not the whole story folks - and aren't you glad, as things were just beginning to get interesting.

The following was discovered later in the Gazette-Picayune cub re- porter's original submission, which had been heavily edited at the request of beleaguered officers sitting on the local school board.

State School Superintendent Marlene Attleboro stated to reporters that she ordered disciplinary action after it was found that not all members of the squad were invited to participate in the event.

Absolutely no discrimination of any nature will be tolerated in our public school systems, whether by students or staff, declared Ms... and on and on and on...

Now I ask you Dear Readers... How noble is that??

Your guess is as good as mine as to why the reporter's initial account was ever edited in the first place. .Anyway...

The good news is that after extensive media coverage, Ronsonville's football squad jumped from 34 members to 196 even though there were only 157 pupils enrolled in the entire student body.

So the story has a happy ending after all.

... I wonder what kind of season they had??
