The word is out: Ignatius kids are just as dirty as everyone else and get just as sick.
With these revelations precautions have been made to help prevent illnesses hitting us as hard as they have before.
You have probably seen the newly implemented hand sanitizers in almost all classrooms on campus. They were first installed last Friday, the eighth of November. They are currently being put in all classrooms and will soon be seen in some common areas like the Senior Lounge.
The idea was brought to Ignatius by Buckeye Cleaning Center who offered to give and install the dispensers free of charge. Nurse Hernandez who was contacted by an Ignatius Alum working there jumped at the opportunity and brought it to Mr. Gavin who has done most of the footwork in getting them installed. According to Mr. Gavin it is just a test run, and while some faculty feared students vandalizing them, as of now he hasn’t “heard anything bad about them.” Overall, Mr. Gavin said he hopes that these hand dispensers will be “really convenient and cut down on germs.”
Students at Saint Ignatius have begun to notice these germ-slaughtering dispensers and offer differing opinions. Some view the disinfectants with reserve. Andrew Beddow our local conspiracy theorist is certain they are “laced with fluoride -just like the drinking fountains- and aim to attack our precious bodily fluids without the individual’s knowledge…that’s the way hardcore commies work” (denied of course by the authorities).
Most however greet them with enthusiasm. Dominic Gideon ‘14, the first one to brave the non-alcohol solution in Mr. Turner’s homeroom, said, “I kinda felt like Neil Armstrong; someone had to do it, you know, break new grounds… It was one small squirt for a germaphobe, one giant, uh, leap for germaphobe-kind.”
