DID YOU KNOW??? Did you know that McKinley has a HALL MONSTER? Sometime in the 1980s, a hamster was mistreated by McKinley students and was kept in a goggle cabinet full of ultraviolet radiation. The hamster soon mutated and became a giant monster that may still pose a serious threat to the current student population. We can neither confirm nor deny reports that a McKinley student may or may not have gone missing at or near a time when the Hall Monster was sighted.
