Semantics Round Up
Believe it or not, this picture was taken directly across the street from this one. What is happening in this town?
My first thought was, “Now here’s a town that really embraces its homeless problem”. Then I got to thinking, if they have homes, are they still hoboes? Or do they have some sort of intrinsic hobo-ness that society will never let them cast off? Or is the Laurel Hill School some kind of temporary group shelter?

Our school was named for Civil War veterans who had to wander the country for work after the war ended.

Well I go to Laurel Hill School and I think that the name Hoboes was given to us because of all of the train tracks that used to be here. The people used the train tracks to travel to work. I also think the same as Ms. Wiliams about the Civil War soldiers. Nobody else may think that it is a very good name but I think it is the best name that we could have ever gotten.
