High School Graduation In Detroit
A student played high school football in
Detroit . He was a great running back, but a really poor student.
At graduation, he didn't have enough credits.
But he was a great football star and the
students held a rally and demanded the principal
give him a diploma anyway. They were so
insistent that the principal agreed if Dwayne
could answer one question correctly he would give him a diploma.
The one question test was held in the auditorium
and all the students packed the place. It was standing room only.
The principal was on the stage and told him to
come up. The principal had the diploma in his
hand and said, "Dwayne, if you can answer this
question correctly I'll give you your diploma."
He said he was ready and the principal asked him
the question. "Dwayne," he said, "How much is three times seven?"
He looked up at the ceiling and then down at his
shoes, just pondering the question. The other
students began chanting, "Graduate him anyway! Graduate him anyway!"
Then he held up his hand and the auditorium
became silent. he said, "I think......... I know
the answer. Three times seven is twenty-one."
A hush fell over the auditorium and all the
other students began another chant.........
Give him another chance!...... Give him another chance!"
