A TYPICAL DAY AT M. C. H. S. fconkinued from Page 5 of current school events follows-then the bell. Everyone rushes for the door, and once outside, proceeds to amble carelessly down the corridor. .lack moseys down to chorus room, but inside the door, pounces at the piano and over-exerts himself with his interpretation of Pink Elephants. Then the dear singing master enters, and a gleeful forty minutes passes. After climbing the crowded stairs and having a girl catch her heel in his cuff, Jack finally gets to the public speaking room where he slumps happily into his seat with a blissful grin, but what ecstasy is yet in store !- Jack O Donald, you may stand on the stage and orate for five minutes on 'Why l Black My Shoes in the Back'. Even the ridiculous oration, on Where Cold Leaves Off and Hot Begins, that follows his fails to rouse him from his humiliation. At last the bell rings, and he rushes eagerly down to the cooking room where he dons his cute little white apron. Here a joyful period is spent amid fragrant odors, and since it is -quite late in the term, the boys are now unafraid of tasting the products of the others. Yes, these fellows are quite proud of their chef-ing ability and take great delight in fussing about the burnish odors left in the room after the more domestic sex has departed. With the last spatula put away, Jack bounds up to the assembly, where he digs in and plugs away, making up for the time he spent in watching the pretty monitor at the desk yesterday. He becomes so absorbed in his Hanodes and cathodesn that he is startled by the bell, and then realizing that he is fiercely hungry, he rushes out to the Galloping Goose to find that the only perchable place is on the right fender. He and his pal, Dick, dine royally on hot clogs and hamburgers at Walt's and then hike down to Sloane's where they spend the rest of the noon hour, harmonizing and trilling on all the popular pieces in the store until they Hnally leave with l-lell's Bells. Back at school, they take part in a dignified game of marbles on the walk leading up to the front door. Fifteen minutes after the l2:45 gong are spent in pal-ing around with the boys, and then Jack dashes into chem. lab. l-lere the two periods are spent amid gay perfumes and hungry acids, and does he think' the girls are dumb bunnies! The girl next to him attaches her bunsen burner to the water faucet instead of the gas jet and is promptly spattered and sprayed in the face. The last two periods of the day are the ones Jack has been looking for- ward to. As soon as the bell sounds, he tosses his chem. book into his locker and dashes down the three flights of stairs outdoors to the auto mechanics shop where he jumps into his greasy overalls and sets in with keen delight. Grease, paint, old limousines that won't budge, rickety gas buggies that do not choose to run-all are sights and smells that he goes for. The girls in their black and white gym suits, headed for the athletic field, seeing his black, curly head and grimy face thrust forth from beneath one of the autos where he is wholly absorbed, make funny little remarks, not realizing that he is some day to be a national figure in this Very line of work. The four o'clock bell rings all too soon, and the greasy boys head for the wash bowl. Clean once more and with tie on again, Jack returns to his locker where he grabs his book and rushes down to the trophy case to meet the gang. lnstead of being elegantly chauffeured down town in the Galloping Goose, he decides to walk down with them because it's the girls' night to treat the bunch to cream puffs. The pretty girl in the bakery shop wraps each marshmallowy cornucopia in a piece of oilpaper-and the prideof lVl. C. High goes strolling, with streaky face, down Franklin Street, licking the choice delicacy and being mobbed by fellow students who just crave cream-puffs but are always broke . Lois Wilson. Page I2
