Dear Editor,

Every week articles written by Gilroy High School tag team columnists David Bress and Chris Morsilli bless the readers of the Dispatch. On campus these guys are better know as “Our Man in the Trenches” and “Rocket Man”, respectively. They have been given the responsibility to write a column that highlights “what’s happening on the Gilroy High School campus,” from the view of a high school student.

David Bress’s most recent article highlighted the admission process seniors go through applying for college. He provided a short list of student’s names and the colleges they would be attending fall of 2005. There was no mention which college he would be attending, but if tradition continues, he will be going to Harvard. There was no mention which college Chris would be attending, but after reading his latest article, I suggest he postpone his graduation plans and stick around to help those that don’t pass the California High School Exit Exam.

In Chris’s most recent column he showed no mercy towards his fellow classmates. His philosophy is simple: “if you don’t pass the CAHSEE, you don’t exit” or “if you don’t pass, you don’t graduate.”

I was a bit surprised by his openness and frank opinion. To Chris no debate is needed on this issue. And as Chris said, “it’s pretty cut and dry”, “black and white”, “no ifs, ands or buts”, “the school district needs to stick to its guns and say, if you don’t pass the California High School Exit exam, you don’t exit.”

Chris, have a little heart. That reminds me of a joke about a banker, but that’s for another time. Chris, since you already passed the test (as you proudly announced) maybe you can lend a helping hand, and help your fellow students prepare for the test.

Someday you might be stranded along the roadside with a flat tire on your 2006 white-and-blue Mustang. The tow truck you called for assistance slowly passes by. You heard someone laughing and yelling out the window: hey aren’t you that guy that denied me the opportunity to graduate with the rest of my class?

Chris and David I love your articles, please keep up the good work.

Alan L. Johnson, Gilroy
