The O.T's. HE STAGE is set. We mean, the music room is ready, because most of the actors are here. Time - 1.00 p.m. of any Tuesday or Friday at P.N.S. Everyone's ready. Ready for what? Why, of course, the agonizing half-hour of O.T. practice. A typical half-hour with the O. T.'s goes something like this. It starts with grousing, such as wishing Mr. McKinney would get here. Someone else moans about all the music theory we've taken, 'and I don't understand a note of it.' One of the boys remarks, 'You know, Mr. McKinney would never believe this, but I used to be able to play a tunef If he doesn't soon get here, l'm leaving, and not coming to classes againl' growls someone else. But Mr. McKinney isn't the only person not nere - Lou is still at Literary executive meeting. Finally, in comes Mr. McKinney. Sorry to be late, folks, but I had to carry out the ashes. Who's first? It is now 1:15 p.m. The fun starts. To reach a high note, we must go through this: Stand on your tiptoes, shut your eyes, and call Ma--ry down from upstairs! At about 1:25 we are all around the piano singing happily when the door opens just a crack, disclosing Form III very anxious to enter. At last- dismissal. But who knows to what undreamed of heights this group is going to reach? When everyone else is wearing out their voice singing Of an afternoon in the month of Junen, we are happily engaged in putting build- in g paper on flats to make operetta scenery. More astonishing, one of our young men kindly volunteers to become a tenor in The Maid and the Middy . Finally, We are a very select group - you can't join us if you sing in tune. -MARION SEDGWICK. THE SCHOOL CLOCK I once had a pretty white face, My numbers were ever so black! My arms moved around with such grace! And richly brown oak was my back. Many times were my hands hurried on When lessons all seemed quite a bore, Teacher marvelled how quickly I'd gone While youngsters were glad it was four ! I've smiled at the answers a bit By teacher and pupils and all. My life - how I've loved every bit! I would not exchange it at all. But my face is now yellow and gray For I've served in the school many score My arms are too weak to move quickly to-day So pupils must stay until four . -SISTER BORGIA. Page Twenty-nine 1
