I A Library Permit Tells Its Story Oh, hello, therel1Glad to see you-- My name's Ieep and I'm a library permit. I used to work at O. H. S., but now I'm retired. What line of work did I do there? Oh, I was an excuse for a student who didn't want to sit through the eighth period study hall. Here's what happened: It was a day last year in May-one of the finest we had all year---and I was next in line for duty. I was young then----just starting on my careerland well-fitted to do my duty. The job I was to do was a disgrace to my pro- fession, although I didn't know it then. As I was saying, there I was waiting patiently, when in comes Iohnnie Iones. In the usual high school manner---that is, thinking of no one's feelings --he ripped me from the pad so violently that he tore my upper-left corner, as you can plainly see. After he had marred my appear- ance by some heavy, illegible writing and se- . They'll Do Yes, sir, it never failsl People invariably do those little things that get under the other fellow's skin. Even a senior's life is not immune to these irksome epi- sodes. For instance, when the bell is going to ring in half a minute, you just have to get upstairs to English class on time. tSome of these teach- ers are disgustingly insistent that you get to class on time or else bring an excusell And what happens? That's right: you come upon one of those cozy groups of students, loitering in the hall and discussing the affairs of the world. They know you can't get by and that you might be late, but, nevertheless-THEY'Ll.. DO IT EVERY TIME. After three or four days with no heavy home- work, you plan a little fun for your spare time cured the English teacher's signature, we were on our way-that is, Iohnnie Iones and I. We walked down Pennsylvania Avenue, and when we got to the bottom, turned left instead of right. I tried to tell him, but he wouldn't listen to me. As a matter of fact, I don't be- lieve he even heard me. Well, we went to Stone's and had a coke-that is, Iohnnie had the coke-he didn't offer me one. We chewed the fat awhile, and then started back. When Iohnnie handed me to the teacher, I had my fingers crossed, for I didn't think we could get away with it. My worries were shortlived, for we did get away with it. Yet, sometimes Ihwtsh we hadn't, for my conscience has both- ered me ever since. I wonder how Iohnnie feels. Well, sir, that's my story, and I only wish the others could tell theirs1what strange stories you would hear! I, -Joe Luciana, '42 It Every Time the following night. You trip gaily to school the next day anticipating the evening's festivities, but as the day goes by, you gradually and sadly return to your former opinion of your teachers. They've crossed you up again! You don't see how they could have dreamed up so many tests and fancy assignments all at the same time, but--they CAN and WILL do it every time. After school when you break all ybur good resolutions and drop in at the drug store for a coke, the inevitable happens again. You order a vanilla coke and what do you invari- ably end up with? A plain coke, which you positively loathl . They do it every time. Maybe it's just human nature. -Martha Cahill, '42
