into this town, okay?

People spend less time

in prison for murder sentences.

- Is that true?

- Yes. Yes, look it up.

I've been the president

of the writers' club

and the editor of the newspaper

since sophomore year

just to better my chances

of getting into that school.

That is so smart.

- Wow.

- It's been challenging.

So i've already applied

and i meet all the requirements.

I just haven't

heard back from them.

So i'd appreciate it

if you um,

maybe found out why.

Okay. And that is

something that i would do?

I would call them?

- Yes.

- Okay.

I will do anything

to get into that school.

- I mean anything.

- I'm on it.

But since you're here,

how 'bout you just fill out this

clover community college

application.

'Cause with every application,

i get a point

towards a juice cup.

Ahem. Do you juice?

Because it's really

changed how i feel.

Last week's edition of

the clover high chronicle

was yet

another disappointment.

We did have new material

for each of the sections,

but once again,

it was all written by me.

Now this,

this has to stop.

This is not the

carson phillips chronicle.

All right? It's the

clover high chronicle.

Carson phillips.

Clover high.

Hopefully,

this week will be different.

Dwayne! Do you have

that movie review ready

for manslaughter 3 yet?

- Yes.

- Yeah?

- No.

- No.

I went,

but i passed out.

You didn't tell me

it was gonna be in 3d.

- It wasn't.

- Whoa.

Vicki. Do you have

your weather report ready?

- What?

- Your weather report.

Yeah, it's cloudy.

Okay. Thank you, vicki.

Progress, right?

And uh, emilio,

do you have a section

you'd like to tackle this week?

Uh... i love america.

Okay. Great.

I love the aphorism.

We'll create

a patriotic section

just for you.

Now.

Moving onto creative writing.

Does anyone have any

- short stories or...

- yes, i did write

- a short story.

- Fantastic. Let's hear it.

Um...

this is written by malerie.

"It was the best of times.

"It was the worst of times.

It was the age of wisdom."

Malerie.

You didn't write that.

Yeah,

it's in my handwriting.

But um...

if you don't believe me then...

- [period bell rings]

- Please come back tomorrow

with something, with anything.

And don't forget that there's

a writers' club meeting

in case any of you

change your mind

about wanting to join.

Or change your personalities.

There was never anything

to do in clover...

besides jamba juice

and cow tipping.

There's no "h" in suck!

So to entertain ourselves,

we all became

diehard club members.

We had the cheerleaders.

- She smells like gluten.

- [Laughter]

Yearbook club led by

the human mosquito known as

- remy baker.
