Life Of A K.P. Boy BY TI-IE VOICE GF EXPERIENCE The usual working day of the K,P, boys begins about 6:30, at which time they are dragged from their beds, stood on their feet and headed in the general direc- tion of the kitchen. Here they work for one-half hour to put the cereal, bread, apple butter, sugar, etc., on the tab-le. Of course, the K.P.s eat first so that they can wait on tables and also to be sure that they get enough to eat. After -break- fast comes the ordeal of washing and stacking the dishes. It takes the hard- working K.P.s about two hours to finish the breakfast work. The same thing is repeated at noon time and in the evening. The evening hours are from 4:30 to 6:30. But all the work of these boys is not confined to help- ing with the meals. They each have their own duties to take careof during free time. The garbage cans must be scrubbed and the ashes must be taken out. Needless to say, these boys are looking forward eagerly to the installation of the new electric stove. VVhen their work is over in the morn- ings and afternoons, they go out for some fun, usually in the swimming pool, or they may spend some time in the craft room. Occasionally they read and fre- quently they write letters to their girls back home telling them about all the girls at Nawakwa that they are not going out with. In the evenings they often go to Hill- side. Later on the K.P. girls and boys get together with the ground crew.and have fun. They sing, dance, go on hikes, have parties and sometimes spend an evening in Gettysburg.
