Super Bowl
By JOHN DUDEK
Times Columnist
This Sunday marks the forty-
seventh time that the NFL will
play its championship game.
As you might have already
heard, it will be the first time
that two brothers will coach
against each other. Super sib-
lings John and Jim Harbaugh
have to have two of the proud-
est parents on the planet.
Jim Harbaugh will attempt

beginnings of the Rock-and-Roll
era.
Many students spent more
time in the Coffee Pot than they
did writing papers for Ms. Paul's
English class or doing that end-

to complete school work and
those endless chores at home.
Many small businesses were
always filled with patrons and
people just "hanging out." I al-

Bakery to have my favorite bak-

coconut fried pies. The pies,
cake and cookies were the best.
