ItAnd Was I Happyai It all started when I was in a group trying to fight off the Christmas-seal salesman when a boy came in and said that Miss Bridge wanted to see me so I knew that something big was in the air because Miss Bridge never sends for anybody unless something big is in the air and so I went in expecting the worst and was I glad when I found that she only wanted me to usher at the 12-A commencement exercises and after I thought it over I decided that I might learn something for my own commencement day and so I decided to go and I got up almost as early as I do for school and I went all the way down to Cass Technical High School where Miss Ward showed me where to stand and how to keep the people seated W and what to do about people with candid cameras and then the people started coming in and I was so busy that I didnlt have time to g3 t think and then at last I escorted Mrs. Bishop to her seat teverybody should know who Mrs. Bishop isl and then the graduates started to come down the aisle and since I was right on the center aisle I caught the eye of a lot of them and tried to give them a big friendly smile but I dont think one of them saw me because they were all so nervous and downright scared and after a while they sat down and some fellow got up and began to speak but by that time I was almost as nervous as the seniors and I hardly understood a word that he said but he said something about a hoatman crossing a stream but I didnt listen because just then somebody tried to take a picture and I had to exercise tact and firmness and then I saw a mother crying and I stared at her until the graduates began to get their diplomas and I can imagine how they felt because I got a diploma once too but that was back in intermediate but I hope to get one here too when I grow up and become a senior and the people were clapping for each graduate and one almost fell flat on his face and then they all sang the School Song and then they began to march out and they were trying to look happy and I saw one graduate whistling but he looked pretty bad and they all looked pretty bad and then they all marched out and then I had to struggle to get the people out of their places in nice orderly lines and then I went out into the hall and stood there congratulating the grad- uates and they looked so sick and all at once I realized that I was now a senior and that at any moment I might get a diploma and was I happy but at the same time I felt pretty sick.
