HIGHSCHOOL

You enter the high school, once you get your bearings, you will see that you can go down the hall to the left which takes you to the Gaiser Gym and the Library; or you can go to the right to the Student Union and the Study Dome.

For the sake of clue hints we will go to the left and search out the Eye chart in the gym and see what it says.

On your way to the gym, you see a Student Bulletin Board with a Surf Club poster on it. You will see a message toward the middle of the board. It needs to be deciphered.



This one is deciphered by reading right to left, top to bottom as follows:

"UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT THE FIRST LETTERS WILL HELP MY PLIGHT"

Notice that there is a 4th code: He:u2

We are not sure about that clue yet so lets continue on.

Move down the hallway and notice that there is yellow caution tape on a locker. Take a closer look. It's Padlocked. Can't do anything about that yet so lets continue on.

Move to the end of the hallway and see another Student Bulletin Board with an honor student poster on it. You will see a message on the left side towards the middle.



This clue needs to be deciphered by removing the spaces and separating the words as follows:
"FIND THE MORNING EDITION AND DISCOVER ANOTHER CRIME, THE ANSWER IS IN BLACK AND WHITE TO WHO WILL DO THE TIME."

Notice that there is a 5th code: Ir:D2

We are not sure about that clue yet so lets continue on.

Continuing on,you see another Student Bulletin Board with a women's volleyball poster on it. You will see a message on a pink note on the right side towards the middle.



This clue needs to be deciphered The same way as the Work Schedule at Maxine's Diner as follows:



"SINNERS ON A VID" - hmmm...maybe this video can be played in that TV & VCR at Aunt Eloise's House? Let's keep an eye out for it.

Notice that there is a 6th code: Kr:L2

Continuing on you will pass a hallway that goes to the Library and Study Dome, to the end of the hall where there are 2 double doors. Go to the Student Bulletin Board by the double doors Marked "ATHLETICS" and see 3 notes side by side at the bottom right of the board.



This clue needs to be deciphered in 3 ways. The first note is simply upside down it reads:

"NOWHERE TO TURN TO, NOWHERE TO HIDE, LET THE BOOKS IN THE LIBRARY, BE YOUR ANSWER GUIDE."

The second note is written backwards from right to left bottom to top, as follows:
"A SYMBOL OF KANJI WORN WITH GREAT PRIDE REFLECTS BIG SECRETS THAT SOMEONE MUST HIDE"
The third one is a written upside down and backwards from bottom to top and left to right as follows: "HE DID WHAT IT TOOK TO MAKE THE GRADE, EVEN IF IT WASN'T CHEATING, TO KEEP UP HIS CHARADE."

We are not sure about that clue yet so lets continue on.

Notice that there is a 7th code: K:R1

Move towards the women's restroom of the gym, pan to the left and you see the eye chart from the clue in Maxine's Diner. Let's look at it more closely.

This clue needs to be deciphered by reading it backwards from bottom to top and right to left, as follows:
"IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO ME LOOK IN MY CHEMISTRY BOOK PAGE THREE ZERO FIVE."
We are going to have to keep an eye open for his chemistry book.

Lets continue to look around. There is a football player in the corner lets go talk to him. Talk to Hector Sanchez "The Hulk". Ask him the series of questions and find out he is the #1 football player in Florida, he plays for the Manatees/Sea Cow (which is the mascot of the school - it looks kinda like a walrus). He explains that someone killed Jake Rogers, apparently he knew him but wasn't friends with him. He may cut you off, but you can talk to him again about Daryl Gray and Jake's locker. He says Daryl found Jake's body...hmmmm. He also tells you to talk to Hal Tanaka, his locker was next to Jake's.
Hey, wasn't he on that Student Bulletin Board as student of the month??? We will have to find him to talk about Jake.

Continue to scan the room and you can see a poster by the soda machine that is out of order, it is an advertisement for the Crane School of Self-Defense. If you decided to call them from your cell phone you will hear that they are not seeking any new initiates at this time. OK...

you can see the red soda machine is working. If you choose you can pay for and drink any soda you wish.

SPOILER: ALL AWARDS

Lets go back to the main entry door and look down the right hallway for other clues.

Going down the right hallway from the main entry, you see a Student Bulletin Board with a "Try out now for varsity soccer!" poster on it, and you will see a message towards the bottom of the board. Read over the message and part of it just doesn't go with the rest.



"Student files under lock and key will show the lies of the doctor-to-be"

Notice that there is a 8th code: HF:L1

We are not sure about that clue yet so lets continue on.

Continue down the hallway.

If you go right you will come to a set of double doors which you cannot enter, but you can approach the door to the left "Maintenance Room". If you look at the lock you see that the code pad is in braille.

We cannot enter this door yet, as we need to find the clue to get in so keep an eye out and lets continue on.

Head down the hallway toward the Student Union and Study Dome. You see a Student Bulletin Board on the right with a "Student Art Exhibit" poster on it, and you will see a message towards the center of the board. Read over the message you will see that certain letters are underlined.



This clue needs to be deciphered by combining all underlined letters in order from top to bottom, left to right as follows:
"PUT ELEMENTS IN ORDER TO OPEN PUZZLE"

Notice that there is a 9th code: Zn:D1

We are not sure about that clue yet so lets continue on.

Going down the hallway, you will see an arch that opens up to the teachers lounge with another soda machine in it. Enter this area and and lets look around. You will see another Student Bulletin Board titled "STUDENT NEWS". On the bottom of the board towards the left is a pink note.

This clue needs to be deciphered by taking the first letter of each line, top to bottom and combining it in to a phrase as follows:



"FIFTH MAP DRAWER"

Notice that there is a 10th code: La:U2

We are not sure about that clue yet so lets continue on.

You can try to enter the door of the Teacher's Lounge but it is locked. Connie says: "You're not supposed to go in there..." Nancy says: "But I have a key" Connie says: "Yeah right, I've heard that one before."
(That's right! That key that you got out of that cut out book at Aunt Eloise's House")

Well we are not going to be able to enter that door while Connie is there, so we may as well move on...Speaking of, that is "CONNIE" the girl Daryl was talking about, let's go have a visit.

Speak with Connie Watson - the hall monitor, and ask her all the questions available. She tells you what happened with Jake Rogers. She tells you that he was a total creep and no one liked him. She may cut off the conversation but you can talk to her again. You ask her if she knows about the weird messages on the bulletin boards, she talks to you about the soda machine alarm. She talks to you about Daryl Gray, seems she is crushing on him a bit, it is weird that he drives an expensive sports car yet works at a diner. She gets irritated about so many questions but, no worries, she gets over it. She also mentions that she doesn't know Hulk Sanchez very well.

Go back out to the hallway and turn left. You will see yet another Student Bulletin board on the wall prior to entering the study hall that has a "Get Involved sticker on it". If you look on the note right under that poster you will see another clue.



This clue needs to be deciphered. The words are split in half horizontally, simply piece them back together and read them as they are written as follows:

"A CRANE CONTESTANT IN A MASKED DISGUISE, WON THE PRIZE MONEY DESPITE ALL THE LIES"
A crane contestant reminds us of that poster that was in the gym for the Crane School of Self-Defense...hmmm we'll need to keep our eyes out for more on that.

Notice that there is an 11th code: AS:U4

Go into the Study Hall, here we see another Student Bulletin Board with a "JUST SAY NO" sign on it. If you look at the center of the board to the left on a small paper, there is another clue which doesn't look quite like the rest of the note.



This clue needs to be deciphered by reading right to left top to bottom as follows:
"THE HIDDEN VIDEO TAPE WILL SEAL MY MURDERERS FATE"

Again with the video tape...this will definitely be a strong piece of evidence in this case when we find it.

Notice that there is a 12th code: C:R1

Let's move on. Pan to the right and you will see a student doing schoolwork at the table. Lets go have a chat. This is Hal Tanaka, an exchange student from Japan. Ask him all the questions prompted. He explains that Jake Rogers tried to take the easy way out and got killed over it. He may cut out short in the conversation but you can talk to him again. He gives you info that Hulk Sanchez got an injury - we will have to go talk to him about that. He tells you about Connie Watson he tells you that Connie was dating Jake Rogers - we will have to go talk to her about that. He informs you that Daryl Gray's father went bankrupt, (thus the reason for his sports car and working at a diner) - We'll have to go talk to him about that. You also ask him about the combination for the lock on Jake's locker, he tells you, "I remember one day Jake was mad because he couldn't open his locker. He told me he wished he had a phone handy."

Let's go down the final hallway that intersects to get to the library. When you get to the library entrance look around until you see another Student Bulletin Board with a "PHOTOGRAPHY & VIDEO CLUB" Poster on it. At the bottom left of the board you see a note.



This clue needs to be deciphered by reading right to left top to bottom as follows:
"GRAPE GRAPE ORANGE COOL WILL PLAY THE ALARM IN THE SCHOOL"
Those were the flavors on the soda machine. (HEY! Maybe that is a way we can get Connie out of the student lounge so we can get into the locked teachers lounge room!)

Notice that there is a 13th code: Zr:R4

Pan over to the other side of the library doors and you will see another Student Bulletin Board, with a poster of a pharaoh on it. Directly under that poster is a note:



it has the numbers 3.15.15.12, 3.15.15.12, 16.15.16, 19.16.15.20 7.18.1.16.5
The way it is set up with commas, helps us know that these are words. The numbers coincide with the order of the letters in the alphabet. Solution as follows:

3 - C
15 - O
15 - O
12 - L
3 - C
15 - O
15 - O
12 - L
16 - P
15 - O
16 - P
19 -S
16 - P
15 - O
20 - T
7 - G
18 - R
1 - A
16 - P
5 - E

"COOL, COOL, POP, SPOT, GRAPE"

SPOILER: ALL AWARDS

Notice that there is a 14th code: Y:D3

Before we go in the library, lets go talk with the kids one more time. Since we are heading to the gym, lets go chat with "Hulk". You ask if he knows Hal Tanaka. He informs you that he has quite a temper and a friend of Jake's, well at least they hung out, even more disconcerting was the last time he saw Hal and Jake together, Hall seemed pretty upset. You also ask him about Connie, apparently she is at the gym a lot and having some money problems. You also talk to him about his injury but he plays it off.

Now lets go talk to Connie. You talk to her about dating Jake, she says it was a mistake. You also mention Hulk's statement about her money problems, which she gets quite irritated about but gives you no solid info. Asking her about Hal Tanaka doesn't give you much other than he is a total burned out workaholic.

SPOILER: HIDDEN QUARTER SPOTS

Finally lets go back to Maxine's and talk to Daryl and update "Uncle Steve".

Exit the school and go to: MAXINE'S 2ND TRIP
