THE GRAND RUSH It’s FOUR o’clock on Wednesday. The seventh grade is excused for their first dancing class. There’s a grand rush for the locker room. One girl cries out, “I can’t remember my lock combination,” but it is finally figured out. Much sputtering! Much yelling! You hear, Does my slip show?” or Does my hair look O. K.?” “Yes, you look swell. Does anybody have a finger nail file?” This goes on for a long time, but at last everything is ready. We walk down the hall arm in arm, chattering excitedly, until we come to the door of the auditorium. Who shall go in first? Finally it is decided that if one of the girls goes first the rest will follow right behind. So in we go. Then the teacher, Mrs. Brown, says, Boys, choose your partners. There is another mad rush. After the boys and girls have the right idea of dancing, it is tried. Around the room taking quaint steps we go. as though we are racing to see who can go the fastest. Then a crash, boom! Two couples hit, but that doesn't stop us. On we go as fast as ever. After this has been kept up for quite a while and it is time to go home, there is just one more thing, and that is the grand march. Up we come in couples. It is our turn to separate. “Oh, dear, which way should we go? We tug and pull at each other’s arms, and finally we decide to go right. Then it’s time to say good-bye to Mrs. Brown. We go up and shake hands and leave our partners by saying Good-night.” Boy! What a day! Mary Welch A QUIET EVENING AT HOME, STUDYING Some people can’t study with the radio going, some can’t study without it. others just can’t study. You just get down to business after a half an hour of trying when you decide that you can’t study unless you’re in bed. So piling your books aside, you get into your pajamas. On crawling into bed your mother’s sweet voice rings in your ears, Don’t forget to take your bath. Of course, you have forgotten. Well, this will be a quick hath,” you will say, so you run your water. After you get into the nice water you remember that the Green Hornet” is on, so you get out and trot dripping over to turn on the radio. You go back and as you stick your big toe into the water you are terrified by shrieking voices. Oh, oh, the radio's too loud. Going back, a bit drier, you turn the radio down. Then back into the tub. A quick bath of half an hour. Soon you arc forced to remove your carcass from the tub because you wish to change the station. As you scamper back to the bathroom, it dawns on you that you are practically frozen, for someone has opened your window. Picking up your towel, hit and miss, you drape it around you and just stand shivering and squealing for someone to close the window. Finding that this doesn’t work, you give yourself a Dutch rub and jump into your pajamas. You climb into bed and just as you get your books spread over your bed your mother comes running up the stairs saying. Turn out your lights, darling. Whatever studying you haven't finished you can do in the morning if you get up early. [46} Nancy Sanders
