11 THE TOOT A Typical Day In C. H. S. Because of the slight change in schedule our day begins at 7:57. 7:55—Sees the languorous student rushing into school before the three minute bell and pouring over lessons which somehow just didn’t get done the night before. 8:00—The last few stragglers run in breathless but too late, for Mr. McLean has caught them and invites them to stay to a tea party and some arithmetic after school. 8:03—The first and worst class of the day begins. The worst because we’re not quite awake and everything the teacher says does not seem to register. Sounds of Avoir-ayant eu j’ai-j-eus float out from French III, while from shorthand class we are greeted by a stony silence—Mrs. Milmoe is waiting for Carmie and Evie to arrive. They just get set- tled when Mr. Carman remembers he must empty the basket; so, in he tramps, is greet- ed by icy stares, and quickly makes his exit. 8:10—Carmen Tornatore arrives ready to begin his new day cheerfully and sleepily with his early morning shadow. 8:15—Some one forgot to get a permit, and the teacher wants it, so—down to the office —the line forms at the left. 8:37—First class is over. Seniors crowd the doors to the auditorium, rush to their desks to pick up “Muzzey” or their coveted copy of ’’The Readers Digest.” A last look at the chapter or perhaps the first look at the lesson for today, a quick glance at that last page of the vocabulary and then—we’re off again. If today were Wednesday, we’d take a last look at our “Observer.” 8:40—Waiting for class to begin, Nancy and Marty talk over things they forgot on the telephone last night. Mary and Ginny discuss some choice bits of gossip while Car- mie tries frantically to read the history she missed. Freddie pokes Eve, and Ernie and John have conference in the back of the room. 8:41—Miss Mackey appears and silence reigns, except for Greiner, Nina and Bogar- dus arguing over the front seat. 8:45—Sorci and Zumbo vs Panebianco on car favorite subject: What is England doing for us? Miss Mackey intervenes and there is another good argument down the drain. 8:50—English IV is taking dictation; arms get numb; and then the discussion of Ray’- shun or Rash’un comes up, which is it? But who cares? People say it their own way. 9:20—Secretarial Practice is the uproar you hear. Mrs. Milmoe has so many nuisances that she has not as yet found any one person to post as the “worst nuisance around an of- fice.” In study hall, Mac is taking attendance and Nancy and Carmen have their early morning chat. David is looking for the French dictionary and Ginny parades in and out of the room to her locker. Nance Greiner and Martha sit with their heads together over a chemistry book, while Jean listens to their intelligent conversation. Soupy Hamlin haunts Barb Park’s desk, but is intercepted by Miss Penna (he goes back to his own seat where he annoys Paul.) 9:30—Bogardus and Bruno straggle into study hall from an extended conversation with Miss Myers. I wonder why so many boys are taking Mechanical this year? 9:40—Miss Penna marches up and down with her little list of culprits who have de- layed taking back overdue books. 9:57—The bell at last 3 minutes to find out what’s on tomorrow’s assignment. 10:00—Finds half of us in English and the other half in History C. Cardner tries earnestly to answer Miss Mackey’s question, but the class is already filled with anticipat- ion of no answer and bursts into laughter. In English, Shirley coughs and has to leave for a drink; Ernie pulls Connie’s hair and Fred- die keeps those in the rear laughing with glee, (continued on page 25
