Presenter 1: And lots more - jokes, news -you name it and we have it. We start with the round-up of School News by our roving correspondent - Anant Singh. Anant, over to you. 
Anant: Good morning, everybody! The highlight of this weeks' School News is that our school football team lost every single match it played in the YMCA football tournament at league level. The physical education teacher is so livid that he has threatened to make the school team practice on a doubletime schedule from tomorrow. So, friends, it's "wake-up" at 4 a.m for all footballers henceforth. 

In another school news, the tiny tots were taken on a visit to the zoo. Some, it is said, did not wish to return. One accompanying teacher, we are told, had a tough time convincing them that life outside is better! 

Class XII put on a one-act play "Examination Fever" which was written, directed and produced by them. The proceeds from this show are being sent to "Prathyasha" - an organisation that helps handicapped children.

Aarohi: Waiter, waiter, what's this fly doing in my soup? 
Hafeez: Breaststroke, I think, Sir, 
Teacher: I wish-you would pay a little more attention.
Pupil: I'm paying as little as I can. 
Teacher: You should have been here at 9 o'clock. 
Pupil: Why, what happened? 
Presenter 2: Thank you, Hafeez and Aarohi. And don't forget, listeners, to send in your jokes. Every original joke will win you a reward of RslO/- for each one played on your favourite radio programme - Class IX Local Radio - the station just for you.

Mr Sharma: (Laughs heartily). I don't have a bunch of forty naughty children at home. 
Leena: Did you ever get into trouble when you were at school? 
Mr Sharma : Have you ever thought about how I am able to catch you in your tricks? I was usually up to the same tricks at school! No, I'm afraid my teachers were not very happy with me. 
Leena: How good were you in your studies, Sir? 
Mr Sharma: Ah, that was my strong point. My work was always up-to-date and fairly good. I was naughty, but I was also keen to learn more. 
Leena: How do you spend your evenings and holidays, Sir? 
Mr Sharma: I like to spend time at home with my teenage children. We have common tastes in music.
