I AM THE SCHOOL BUS, BUT NOT AN ORDINARY YELLOW BUS. I AM EXTRA-CURRICULAR-- WHEW--NEARLY STRIPPED MY GEARS ON THAT WORD. WHEN I CAME TO BURKE HIGH SCHOOL SEVEN YEARS AGO, THE AG BOYS PAINTED ME SHINING WHITE WITH MY NAME AND A BULLDOG ON MY REAR DOOR IN MAROON. ALL THE KIDS FELL IN LOVE WITH ME. NOW THEY TREAT ME LIKE AN OLD PAIR OF SHOES--.IUST TO USE WHEN THEY WANT TO HAVE FUN AND DON'T CARE HOW THEY LOOK. MOST OF THE TIME I'IvI AS UNTIDY AS A SMALL BOY ON SATURDAY. THE KIDS LEAVE STICKERS, FINGERPRINTS AND HAIR OIL ON MY WINDOWS, MUD ON MY UPHOLSTERY, POP CORN, GUM AND CANDY WRAPPERS ON MY FLOOR--ALL TOKENS OF AFFECTION LIKE THE STICKY KISSES OF A BABY. I REJOICE IN THEIR VICTORIES, SIGH AT THEIR DEFEATS. I KEEP THEIR SECRETS, WATCH THEIR FRIEND- SHIPS AND ROMANCES BLOSSOM OR GO PHFFT. I 'VE LEARNED THEIR SONGS ANDVYELLS AND THE .IARGON THEY SPEAK. I'VE ALWAYS BROUGHT THEM SAFELY HOME AND NEVER GIVEN THEM MUCH TROUBLE ON THE ROAD. OF COURSE, THERE WAS THAT TIME THE WIND BLEW MY HOOD NEARLY OFF, AND ELMER LOST HIS HAT, AND THE GIRLS RUINED THEIR NYLONS. YEAR AFTER YEAR I'VE HAULED THEM TO FOOTBALL AND BASKETBALL GAMES, TO MUSIC CONTESTS AND TRACK MEETS, TO AG .IUDGING CONTESTS AND TO THE LAKE. THIS YEAR I GET MY REWARD--THE SEN-' IORS MADE THIS MY BOOK. THEY FURNISHED THE PICTURESg THE COMMENTS AND STORIES ARE MINE. COME ON, GANG, LET'S ROLL THRU THE x f- BULLDOG '55.
