Mad Memoirs Cautiously, the door of the psychiatrist's office was poked open. S-chh, chh, chh! O-chh, chh. chh! U-cch, cch! T-chh, chh, chh! H-chh, chh, chh! Peek-a-boo! Recognizing the shuffle almost immediately as that of a high school teacher, the doctor hastened to assist the prospective patient. One could easily detect that he had an advanced case of Southern Shakes as he wobbled hesitantly, then slouched on the couch. Tell me,” cried the doctor as he grabbed for his pad and Neversharp pencil, what factors led you to this nervous condition? Through a blur of tears the tuckered tutor replied, Doctor, you would never believe it, but I was a normal teacher at South High School up until the September of 1951. Then came a gabby bunch. Mary Jane Houston jabbered so much once that she lost her voice; but Virginia Olbrys was made of sterner stuff and had to be excused from American History class for talking too much. You’d never think that with all the practice Arlene Nightingale had in chewing the rag, she'd fluff when she talked on a mike in the radio room; or that Pat Walkowiak would forget her first public speech on stage. Hah! I still remember how Rose Marie Skuta went around talking ro the-littlc-man-that-wasn’t-therc; but Jean Wasnicwski liked sighing loudly in English class until she was reprimanded for her blunder As if all this yakity-yak wasn't enough, we had to teach kids with names like Rita Szarafinski. Ix r-etta Szymankiewicz and Sandra Strzalkowska or however you pronounce them. Miss D. Gallagher remedied that, though, by calling Mary Lou Gorski. Emo-gene. She also was on the lookout for kids like Gene Glasko who preferred picking up eyefulls of pretty girls in class instead of paper from the floor. And eating! . . . Why there were: Eleanor Ciurlik. Millie Ujcic, Elsie Ferenc, Shirley Bolser. Marie Ban-eckoff, Pat Bcnkowski, Roberta Pokorny, and Cecelia Santin, who went around eating up all of Miss Cary’s radishes then left pennies to pay for them. I even caught Charlotte Rogaski eating in honor study hall. If you think I’m exaggerating about those South High appetites. Doc, Mr. Katz will tell you about the time he caught Janice Jasky with a banana in her French horn. But did all this eating between meals bother their appetites at lunch time? I should say not! No, no no! Emphatically No!—S-chh, chh, chh! O-chh, chh . . . Easy there now, my good fellow. Control yourself and tell me more, said the psychiatrist soothingly. Mar)’ Ann Stepka at least had the consideration to eat lunch in the cafeteria . . . even though she was half through gobbling up the wrong lunch before she realized it. And how Rose Rychlinski cried when she opened her lunch bag and found it full of onions by mistake. Bur those girls who insisted on carting their lunches away unnerved me so. Ann Stokar, for instance, didn't want to get fat by eating cookies so she used to exercise them by taking them for long walks in the halls . . . until Mr. Bopp decided that the cookies were thin enough. Of course, I'll have to admit it was hard enough to get used to empty milk bottles in Angela Sokolowski's purse, but those pickled grasshoppers and spiders in Delores Bright's still make me wonder about the stomachs of the younger generation The 74th Street derelict began to sob abrupty as he confided that he hadn't even been invited to the Speak-easy party in art class instigated by Dolores Kuchnicki, Jayne Glover, Pat Jankowski, Rita Socha, Nina Zawalski, and Rose Kowalski; or the math-munchies supplied by Helen Hulka. I'm just a social outcast! he slobbered as he ran his sleeve across his eyes to dry them. I wasn't even offered a membership in the R.O.O.T.S. (Royal Order of the Snakes) by its president, Tom Kekelis, or the vice president, Bill Gesinsky. Even the secretary, Bob Edelburg, and John Luvison, and Len Koprowski, its members, said No dice'. Dice! Dice? Speaking of dice, something told me Bill Soltis' were loaded when I nearly lost my knickers to him— Not that the students arc as crooked as a dog's hind leg — but. Katherine Cognota finally learned to sign her mother's name (just the way her mother writes it) and Charles Bradshaw didn't do such a bad job of forging cut slips either. Mr. Bopp had Ray Spicwak, Joe Lewandowski, Fred Lauben, John Kuska, Robert Kolar, Leonard Eliason, Gerald West-fall and Joe Koscinski in his police lineup so often that he began to develop a Dragnet' complex. But, 23
