Dufresne Column on High School Football Game ‘Not Sensitive’

I am a Santiago High School songleader. I was very hurt by your so-called column about our school. You make us out to be a school with no spirit, awful cheerleaders and no athletes.

Well, we are here for a reason . . . to graduate. But these extracurricular activities are our way of being united as a school. This is to bring our school together and have some good, clean fun. We try our hardest and that is all you or anyone else can ask.

So, if you had a point it was a pretty awful way of stating it, and if you thought it would be fun to pick on our school, think again. That was a very unnecessary way of explaining it, and it hurt.
