The newspaper found some decidedly non-educational Web site addresses on the computers in superintendents' offices. These included www.tomthedancingbug.com, the home page of a comic strip comic strip, combination of cartoon with a story line, laid out in a series of pictorial panels across a page and concerning a continuous character or set of characters, whose thoughts and dialogues are indicated by means of "balloons" containing written speech. , and www.near-death.com, a site about near-death experiences.

Dusty Diplomas The Campbell County School District in Gillette, Wyo., will graduate some of the country's oldest students this spring--most of whom will be older than anyone on the faculty and administration. The district's two high schools are offering the diplomas to veterans of World War II and the Korean War Korean War, conflict between Communist and non-Communist forces in Korea from June 25, 1950, to July 27, 1953.
