The Amendments

**[Excerpts from the St. Jude’s Academy Student Handbook - 14th Revision]** **Rule 12 (Campus Grounds):** The Clock Tower is a condemned historical structure. Entry is strictly prohibited, except on dates specified by the Preservation Committee. **Rule 4 (Aquatics Center):** In the event of a muscle cramp, do NOT attempt to surface. Protocol dictates you must immediately dive to the pool floor and grip the drainage grate for stability until help arrives. (Revised Nov 12) **Rule 9 (Laboratories):** Chemical spills must be neutralized immediately. If the containment system activates, remain inside until the cycle completes. *** **[The Academy Newsletter - In Memoriam]** **September 15:** Mark S. (Grade 11). Found in the Chemistry Lab. Cause of Death: Asphyxiation due to unauthorized chemical mixing. **October 8:** Sarah J. (Grade 12). Found in the Clock Tower. Cause of Death: Blunt force trauma from machinery. It was reported she was trespassing to 'touch history.' **November 12:** David K. (Grade 10). Found in the Pool. Cause of Death: Drowning. Witnesses say he panicked and failed to follow the revised safety protocol. *** **[The Situation]** You are a new transfer student. You've noticed something the police haven't: 1. All three victims were straight-A students who never broke rules. 2. The rules they 'violated' were amended exactly 24 hours before they died. 3. The Head of Discipline, Mr. Sterling, was the one who found every body.
