Why do we have a social campus

rule?

by Aisha Biyo

Q & A with Mrs. Kelsey: The Social Rule

What’s the main goal of the social rule?

To create boarders for the students to have their relationships in and to make

sure students interact in the right way concerning PDA

How many couples get

socialled a year?

About 5-10 couples

What are your personal

views on the social

rule?

I think it’s a good idea

because I was a teenag-

er once. It’s good to

grow up with bounda-

ries.

Why are they so strict?

When you do one thing, it opens the door to the next level. It’s human nature.

That’s how God created us.

ROBINSONS cont.

After college they came back to Oneida for three

years. Then they moved to Louisville and worked at

a children’s home for two years. The Robinsons felt

the call back to Oneida for six years and had two

boys, Samuel and Simon Peter. God then had a new

plan for them to move to Whitesburg, Kentucky for

16 years. Three years ago they moved back to their

first home as a couple.

The both decided their biggest accomplishment

as a couple was their kids and the lives they have

affected through Christ. When asked how to de-

scribe each other Mrs. Robinson said he was “fan-

tab-u-lous” and he described her as “beautiful.”

Story Time with Spencer by Spencer Montgomery

In my family, mishaps happen more often than normal. Being a Montgomery comes with its

challenges, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

About ten years ago my dad completely forgot about Valentine’s Day. My mom continued to

drop hints, and finally at one on February 15th she got mad enough and told him he forgot. He

then went to Walmart and grabbed the first card he saw. The card read, “Sorry about your loss.

Thinking about you.” I guess you could say he never forgot again.

What should you do when your Valentine crushes both your legs at the same time while go-

ing to get you both of you dinner? My aunt was getting ready to back out of her driveway to get

pizza for dinner and didn’t see my uncle. She ran over him and broke both of his legs.

Lessons to be learned: read the card and look where you drive.

Dear Future Husband,

First off, I wanted to let you know that you were worth the wait. You truly are a God-given

gift. Second off, I want to apologize for being awkward and for being moody and for being cra-

zy. I also want to thank you for not leaving after having experienced those odd traits and killing

all the bugs that I can’t deal with (most likely all of them). I truly am blessed to have you.

Though I may have a hard time showing it, you mean more to me than words, pictures or even ac-

tions can express. I hope you have an irresistible smile that makes everyone around you smile. I

hope you have a heart so big that it shows to everyone who sees you. I hope your ability to make me

laugh lasts a lifetime. I hope that all it takes is one look, for me to see that you truly do genuine-

ly love me as much as I love you. Most importantly, I hope that your love for God seeps through

you and through everything you do. So stay strong and focused and stay on the path that God

has for you that leads you to me.

Love,

Your Future Wife Aisha Biyo
