Boston Latin Officials Seek To Quash 'Vampire' Rumors
Author: Martin Finucane, AP Source: Boston Globe (MA)
Title: BOSTON LATIN OFFICIALS SEEK TO QUASH 'VAMPIRE' RUMORS
A school administrator wants to set the record straight: There are no vampires at Boston Latin.
The headmaster of the prestigious exam school took the unusual step today of sending a notice to faculty, students, and parents saying that "rumors involving 'vampires'" had begun spreading through the building Wednesday, causing disruption and anxiety for a number of students.
"I seek your cooperation in redirecting your energy toward the learning objectives of the day. Please do not sensationalize or discuss these rumors," she said.

Boston latin was founded, at least in part, by Ezekial Cheever who was the court recorder for the Salem Witch trials.
Interesting how innuendo comes around again.

Did the headmaster check to see if any of his students glitter in the sun?

but that had to be next...
High school is often nothing but a place of cliques and bullies who like to pick on those they dislike because of whatever differences that set them off.
And the fact that they can scare themselves so badly with their own rumor mill means that they need to go back to school and take classes on what they don't know. That might take another four or five years at this rate...

...the decline in journalistic standards and credibility continues to accelerate, as more newspapers are forced to lay off reporters and editors due to the economic crisis.
