THE TOOT 15 A Typical Day In C, H. S. to move some of the heavier instruments up to Strough’s. From audible deductions, some one made a very bad mistake in Mrs. Fudes- co’s Italian class. 11:50—Mrs. Smith is patiently drilling her General Science class in laws and principles that never seem to dawn on them. 12:20—Girls hold conferences over spell- ing books as they slowly progress toward the classroom. Jo and Joanne are still in study hall rummaging for books only to be late for class. In study hall eyes glance at the clock as it slowly ticks off those last forty minutes. 12:30—The combination of Rurke. Conk- lin and Clark brings forth a screech from Mrs. Smith and a loud peal of jeering laugh- ter from the rest of study hall. 12:58—Brings the last bell and the end of our typical day. —WILLIAM FISHER Most Popular ..

11 THE TOOT A Typical Day In C. H. S. 7:00—It is a bright sunny day in June, 1944, as pupils in the country run to catch the bus and are eagerly whisked away to another day of learning. 7:30—A few dazed students yawn sleepily as they lean along the balcony, and wcnder what happened to their timing that they ar- rived at such an unearthly hour as this. 7:45—Sees the majority of the students come in and wander up the stairs and thru the corridors to their home rooms still in a half conscious condition. 7:50—Miss Mackey and Mrs. Fudesco chase the boys away from the warm radiator. 7:57—The last bell quickly empties the halls, starting a new school day. The other classes see vacation closer, while the seniors near those last eventful days. 7:59—Sog and Roger Barott grin trium- phantly as they dash thru the door with sec- onds to spare. 8:00—Sends us to those fateful first per- iod classes where Miss Heller tries in vain to silence the Sams in aviation, and brings the class out of the prevailing state of drowsi- ness and confusion. 8:05—Donald strolls leisurely into class while Miss Powers searches for Latin phras- es to clearly express herself. 8:10—Tony Fiore finally puts in his ap- pearance and glowingly describes the re- gretful circumstances which prevented his timely arrival. 8:37—Brings the first rendezvous between Margaret and Carmen. 8:40—Finds Miss Clines pleasantly sur- prised at the sudden interest of the English IV class in grammar and literature. Could the proximity of regents have any influence in this change? 8:55—The History C class finally comes to order as Frances, Virg, and Roccine sus- pend gossiping and pay attention. Miss Mackey gives them a cheery smile and states, “We will now have a ‘little test’. The first question—It was a bright sunny morn- ing in June, 1875; the President’s wife was hanging up the wash in the White House. Who was she?” The laughter abruptly stops when many suddenly realize that they aren’t sure just who was President, much less his w fe. 9:31—Miss Daniels patiently straightens out the spherical angles and polar triangles for bewildered Sam and the rest of the trig- onometry class. 10:00—If it’s Wednesday the “Observer” is the topic of discussion in History C, but usually you hear Miss Mackey’s ringing com- mand, all books closed” and a debate of tra- ditional. dear old “Muzzey” follows. 10:15 The English IV class across the au- ditorium is strangely quiet as all thoughts are bent in a fruitless search for a meaning to a very mysterious word presented by Miss Clines. 10:40—Fifth period starts quietly and peacefully. It seems a shame to all but Miss Daniels, to spoil a bright, warm day poring over books and many eyes wander listlessly towards the windows and out-of-doors. Sud- denly an explosion from physics breaks the monotony and announces another battle royal between the two opposing factions of Sog, Mike and Anthony and on the other side Sugie, Norm and Asa. prompted by a brief absence of Mrs. Smith. 11:20—A mad rush down the stairs to the gym for a bottle of milk or orange ushers in the brief lunch period. Having completed their brief repast the “steady couples” retire to a secluded corner for a few intimate words. After a short rest, the bell sends the crowd wistfully scattering upstairs to resume schol- astic duties. 11:40—Miss Dominy readily acquires, by the skillful suggestion that they will mis? ts few minutes of school, a husky crew of boys
