‘Don’t forget that you are a Wave member, Laurie. You mustn’t break Wave rules.’

‘What story?’ said Alex. ‘Oh yes, I remember. I’ll do it next week.’

‘Alex, you need discipline to write for a newspaper!’ said Laurie. ‘We must work as a team. I want your story tomorrow.’

Alex laughed. ‘Are you a member of the Wave?’ he asked.

‘I’m in Mr Ross’s class’ said Laurie. ‘Everybody in our class is a member.’

‘Everybody in the school is talking about the Wave,’ said Alex.

‘Write a story about it.’

Laurie looked at the others. ‘Yes. Perhaps I will. It’s a good story,’ she said. ‘We can ask the other students what they think.’

Principal Owens wanted to see Ben Ross in his office. Was there something wrong? Ben knew that Principal Owens wanted to talk about the Wave.

On the way to Principal Owens’ office Ben met many students. They all gave him the Wave salute.

The door was open, and Principal Owens sat behind his desk.

Ben was surprised when the old man smiled at him. He looked down at Ben. ‘Tell me what this Wave thing is about, Ben,’ he said. ‘Everybody in the school is talking about it.’

Ben told the story of his experiment.

‘It’s very strange, Ben,’ said Principal Owens. ‘Are the students learning anything?’

‘They’re doing better than before,’ said Ben. ‘I think the Wave is helping them.’

‘I don’t like these Wave salutes and Wave pictures,’ said Principal Owens.

‘It’s all a game,’ said Ben-Principal Owens looked at Ben. Then he said, ‘I’m not very happy about this thing, Ben. You must watch it very carefully. Remember that these are young people in your experiment. Sometimes we forget that they are young.’
