Wednesday, June 3, 1987/The Battalion/Page 3 State and Local chool bars valedictorian m "om ceremony after prank ■HOUSTON (AP) — A high school valedictorian had to sit out [Tuesday’s graduation, barred from participating or delivering his speech because of what he insists was just a joke — paying a stripper to visit his physics class. ■Banners supporting the teen-ager appeared outside his home, and there were rumors of a commence- ___^ment boycott. Jlllike Woosley, IS, was suspended *\J Tb for six days last week after a stripper X posing as a police of f icer visited his Kingwood High School class, ques tioned the teacher and began remov- ' Vl ing her clothes, school of ficials said. B“We had just been in our physics teacher's class for two years, and we liked him a lot,” Woosley said Tues day. “It was just a joke. I think it was tilken wrong, and I think it was wrong to do it. I 'm guilty as charged. Vever tried to deny that. [“Individuality is<itantamount to fif-expression and success, and you ■ve to search your soul and search yourself before you can relate to anyone else. That’s what my speech is about — the one I won’t get to read — individuality.” ■School spokesman Karen (jollier said officials were aware of rumors that students planned to boycott the commencement for 640 graduating seniors, but it was not considered likely. “All I’ve heard are the rumors,” she said. “Graduation is a very im portant time, and I feel quite certain that most will go through with the ceremony.” The stripper’s performance was cut short by a school administrator. Woosley, who collected the money for the prank, was suspended for two infractions of the school honor code. Collier said. “It was a major disruption of our instructional day,” Collier said. “He lied to school officials when he said the lady was a guest of the class and would be making an educational presentation.” She said many parents supported the school’s actions. Woosley attained a 4.96 grade- point average on a 4-point scale Ivy earning A’s in honors classes. On Tuesday morning, banners reading “Let Woo/. Walk,” and “We Love You Woo/,” appeared on the lawn of the suburban home of Joyce and Thomas Breckenridge, where Woosley has lived since his parents moved io Georgia last year. “We are appalled by the whole thing, by his actions,” Mrs. Brecken ridge said. “Because with honor goes responsibility and Mike has not acted responsibly.” Woosley met with his parents Tuesday. They declined comment, he said. It’s not Woosley’s first bout with school regulations. He was cited ear lier this year for violating the dress code when he appeared wearing an earring and sunglasses. “I didn’t think it was fair to be re stricted from graduating . . . when you think of some of the kids who have been in trouble for drugs, for fighting and for weapons,” Woosley said. “I don’t think the school acted properly, yet two wrongs don’t make a right.” Some students at the school voiced support for Woosley. “I think they’re going a little ex treme,” Darren McLennan said. “He worked so hard to be valedictorian and now they won’t let him walk.” Woosley has a Navy ROTC schol arship and said he plans to enroll at the University of Virginia in the fall and pursue a degree in engineering. Woosley said he hadn’t decided if the prank was worth it. “I'll have to wait and see on that one,” he said. “If anyone gets hurts or if graduation is ruined, I’ll be very sorry.” Former drug dealer helps police ; J collect evidence for indictments Or to.
