The Toe Crushers The most interesting study I made while I was sojourning in the land of Lincolnia was of those peo- ple who composed the bulk of the population - the Toe Crushers. They were everywhere-in the halls, in the classrooms, in the auditorium. in the cafeteria. and sometimes, in the office. Upon investigating, I learned that they were composed of three groups: the seventh graders. the eighth graders, and. most im- portant of all, the ninth graders. In age they varied from eleven to sixteen. Some were small, some were large, some were quiet, some were noisy. All, large or small, quiet or noisy, were intent upon one thing etc get some place and to get there in a hurry. Many a time had it not been Ior my speed and alertness. I should have been crushed beneath the foot of one of these beings so engrossed in his own affairs that he did not observe meek little me.
