THE KENCOLL 1940 17 I NOTHING HAPPENS HERE (Conliinu-d from Page 15) Imnlt ' ii of luitting me llirougli from the family. lately I l e|(: ii thinking that if I roulil get a scholarship I wouldn ' t have to worry about a job and I ' d have more time for sciniol work—not that I ' m crazy about studying hut if 1 want an M.l). after my name 1 know that I ' ve got to work. I think that I have a gcMid chance of winning the scholarship that I want, if I give up some of the things that take up a lot of time, l■ ' oothall is one of them. I know what a difference it is going to make, Mr. Roberts. There won ' t be nearly as much excitement. 111 miss that feeling you get when you hear your school cheering its lungs out at a game, or when yon win the toughest game of the season, or when you get your letter. Perhaps some of the fellows won ' t understand, but Pre made up my mind. .A year without f M tball won ' t l e fun. but if it means making several years of university a lot easier—well. I guess it will l)e worth it. Mr. Roberts ro.se and stretched nut his haml to the Iwy. Good work. Paul. You always knew what iday to call. You have called the right one this time, and I hope you always will. • • • • • Yes, Judy went on. that doesn ' t help matters any— the wav everything is planned for us. The majority of us just drift through high schoed, until suddenly, we find that it ' s all over, ' rhen we start training for the same old things that |)e«ple have been doing for years—teaching, nursing, secretarial work. • • • • • Given ran uji the front steps, ojiened, then slammed the door behind her almost with one motion. . s the door hanged shut she called: Mother, where are you? I ' m in the kitchen. Given. her mother called. What is all the excitement? Given aswered, breathlessly. I won two tickets to the schiNd ilance. for the best poster. That ' s lovely. lcar, but you were going anyway, weren ' t you? , lrs. Randol|di said calmly. Yes. I was. Mom, but that ' s not the im|H)rtant | art. When I went to Miss ilar| er ' s this moniing to f et my tickets she asked me where I got the ideas tor so many pretty evening dresses, and when I tfdil her I bad designed them all mvself. she thought that it was grand. She a.sked me if I had ever thought of taking up designing professionally. She seemed awfully interested—so I showe l her all the sketches thiit I have III my Imoks. I thought that she might say something aboil the way my French cxercise.s were broken ii|i by drawings, hut .she didn ' t. She was enthusiastic almut them. She saiti that they were really goo»l and she tohl me about a course in designing. I fiaven ' t been able to work all day for thinking about it. Can I just finish this year and get my Junior Matric, and then take an art designing course next year? Please. Mom, please, that ' s what I w ' .mt to do.” “Ilon ' t talk so loudly, dear. That sounds like an excellent idea. We ' ll sec. That usually means yes.. HI ask Miss Harjier more about the course tomorrow. Golly, what if I hadn’t entered my poster in the contest, and Miss Harper hadn ' t noticed the dresses. Why, I might liavc ended u| scrubbing floors.” • • • • I.inda stood up and began to gather up the pa| cr from their lunches. Come on. Judy, let ' s not just sit here talking. I ' m going to the library to do my Geometry. What arc you going to do? Judy stood up slowly. I ' ll come and help you with it. What else is there to do? Nothing ha| pens here.
