uyou 've got me crying again 'Q Well, There I was enTering JeTTerson Tor my TirsT oTTiciaI high school day. I paused Tor a minuTe To read The inscripTion over The doorway, l.eT reverence Tor The laws become The poIiTicaI religion oT The naTion.' Abra- ham Lincoln I chuckled-a guoTaTion oT Lincoln over The doorway oT Thomas JeTTerson I-Iigh School. I inTerred ThaT JeTTerson never said anyThing proTound enough To adorn The cornice oT This sTaTely school building and I enTered. I-laving Tripped up The TronT sTeps, I was conTronTed by whaT seemed To me an eighT TooT gianT wearing an armband marked wiTh The IeTTers HS. P. Where do you Think you're going? he bIurTed. I am a Third Termer, I said apoIogeTicaIIy. ThaT's your problem, he said. You'II have To waiT Till The bell rings beTore you can enTer The building. I Thanked him Tor his aid and wenT ouTside To waiT. I spenT my Time on The sTreeT, idly counTing The windows in The buildings across The sTreeT, as I anxiously looked Torward To The ringing oT The bell. Five minuTes passed and I heard The bellg I sTraighTened my Tie and enTered again. This Time This TugiTive Trom JonaThan SwiTT's Brobdingnag meT me aT The door and said, You're IaTe. I Tried reasoning wiTh him, buT iT seemed I was making Things worse. I-Ie Tinally Took me To The dean's oTTice. I sTood in The rear oT The oTTice while The STudenT PaTroIIer las I IaTer Tound ouT he was calledl, submiTTed his charge againsT me and Then IeTT. The dean eyed me causTicaIIy, Are you here again? he said. I remember you: I never TorgeT a Tace. I poIiTeIy explained ThaT I was a Third Termer. I-le was very nice abouT iT, released me Trom durance vile and dismissed me wiTh a warning noT To geT inTo Trouble again. ThaT was eighT years ago. Now I am a senior. The HS. P's wouIdn'T dare boTher me now. Ch, nol WhaT did you say? Why, I didn'T even eaT ice cream. VVhy should I clean The Table up? LisTen young man, you should respecT your elders. All righT, don'T push: I'Il go. Mr. lvIuIdorT, here I come. ArThur I-Teller
