THAT WYLIE BUGLE 10/7-10/12

HEY! Sign up for concessions okay. Model service in a meaningful way, AND if you don't do it, who will?

This is how I lost my hair....I am holding onto the hope that if you sign up and I don't have to stress about it, my hair will grow back where there is non. So, selfishly for my hair....sign up!

-Mr. Dixon
