The Students on the Bus Would Go...
Exactly Where They Want

The following is an excerpt of a letter written by students in the 7th, 8th, and 9th grades at American School for the Deaf (ASD) in Hartford, Connecticut to ASD's Assistant Executive Director Edward F. Peltier.

Dear Mr. Peltier,

Our bus is OK but boring. Please consider having the following things on the next ASD bus:

1. A sliding clear top so that we can view the scenery.

2. Paint the bus to look like a big tiger with a tail.

3. Tinted windows so we can see out, but people can't see in. (Maybe purple.)

4. An ejection button so that we can get rid of students who bother us-or the driver.

5. Lazy Boy recliners and some beds.

6. A beauty salon.

7. Additional floors and an elevator-perhaps a basement.

8. A field for soccer.

9. TV-big screen, compact disc player, Nintendo 64, Microwave, satellite dish, and TTY; STRONG bass near each seat.

10. Free sodas, pizza, shakes, friess cheeseburgers, and candy.

11. Hot tubs and jacuzzi.

12. Ability to change into a plane, helicopter, or hovercraft.

13. Pets.

14. A lightning storm raging above the bus at all times.

15. Weight lifting, skating, tutoring and dancing areas.

16. Button to change wheel into claws for rough terrain.

17. Solar-powered engine.
