Mums asked with a decided twinkle in her exe No IIS worse than that I replied lndig nantlv Then Eadie came in from the llY1!'1ff room where she had apparently heard my ranting What s the matter Wlth you she asked dis dainfully Did thev mn out of lemon cokes at the Bird s Nest? Or didn t they play your favorite Benny Goodman record? Xou know whats the matter I howled The junior Prom I can t see what that has to do with all this fuss opinionated mv innocent mother Well we re having a Junior Prom at school and its to be from nine til one semi formal Ed Ryan is going to plav and fresh men aren t allowed to go That in a nutshell 10 By Fran Gram 46 is the reason for my temporary 1nsan1ty Can you blame me? I finished in what I hoped was a pathetic tone There must be a good reason Ruthie, why freshmen arent allowed Eadies a junior perhaps she can explain It We turned to Eadie expectantly Well I dont exactly know myself she said slowly, but I suppose I could ask some one You dont know? I asked amazed at her ignorance It s your very own prom and you don t know anything about itl' I could hardly believe my ears Could it be possible that Eadie my very own sister, and a Junlor wasn t going? The look of dawnmg realization that was spreading over my face must have bothered her because Eadie turned around and walked back into the living room Stupified I sank into a chair hardly even noticing that a spindle hit me right in the serious thinking in my fourteen year old l1fe Several doughnuts and about an hour later I arrived at a course of action having decided definitely that my sister was in a well worn rut So with a determmed look I sauntered into the living room and turned on the radio full blast to my favorite record program The ear split ting notes of Louis Prima s trumpet shattered the silence of the room and had the desired effects on Eadie who was elbow deep in Cicero translation She rose a full ten inches off her chair Murmurmg my apologies I turned the radio down but it was st1ll an 1m possibilitv for Eadie to study there Go away pest she muttered through clenched teeth so Mums wouldn t hear I-In en t you anything to do besides bother ing me? , ' P 1 .
