16 THE TOOT A TYPICAL DAY IN C.H.S. 7:15—It is Monday, a bright sunny day in June and the pupils of the hinter- lands hurry to catch the bus that will take them to another day of learning. 7:30—A few sleepy students yawn as they lean on the balcony for support and wonder how their time could be spent more enjoyably. 7:45—This moment finds many of the stu- dents present and gathered in groups talking of their common interests, boys or girls as the case may be. 8:00—The bell rings and the lower halls are cleared. The “steadies” seek each ouier out and converse in low tones in the auditorium. 8:12—The first bell sends the students re- luctantly to their home rooms, ready to start another day. 8:14—Joan Phipps and Frank Crimi hurry to their seats giving a worried glance at Mac. Luella Spratt can be seen sauntering toward the building not accelerating her pace one iota. 8:15—The second bell rings and classes be- gin. The majority of the seniors re- main in study hall doing the lessons that didn’t get done the night before. 8:20—Borgognoni arrives, having hitch-hik- ed a ride all the way from North Pe- terboro Street. 9:00—Second period begins. Half of the sen- ior class goes to Social Studies, the other half to English. The Shorthand I class plans to buy hearing aids to help them overcome the handicap of double gymnasium classes. 9:30—In Social Studies Norman Day is in- forming the class on some timely e- vent while Miss Mackey gives the as- signment, “Read the Encyclopedia Britannica and prepare an essay on Russia of not less than five thousand words.” Meanwhile across the hall in English the class receives the “Reader’s Di- gest” and begins work. 9:45—A small but willing trig class faces Miss Daniels. 10:30—The Seniors who were in English second period now go to Social Stud- ies and vice versa. In Social Studies Miss Mackey vainly tries to get Mary Tornabene and Betty Moore to talk louder while Bruce and Frank ex- change “funnies.” 11:15—And many seniors hurry to chemis- try. The rest of the class inquire a- bout gas masks, fearing the evil smelling concoctions that may re- sult. 11:30—Lab is interrupted when Fluff does the wrong thing again and lets out a Shriek. Miss Daniels restores order and the work goes on. 11:45—The study hall students start work- ing on schemes to get down to lunch early. 12:00—The classes head for their meals. For those who eat at school the motto seems to be, “To lead by a hair is to get a chair”, or “If no chairs are at hand, you’ll have to stand.” 12:30—Miss Burgett gathers the boys for boys’ chorus and drags Norman from the dance floor. 1:00—Classes are resumed. Most of the sen- iors have study hall. Miss Dunn pa- trols the library, waiting for a chance to send some luckless student back to study hall. 1:45—The senior boys head for health class,
