Both teachers and students
loci forward eagerly to the end of
the school year, for different
mations.
For the students, especially the
yoq,nger ones, it's like a rebirth to
get Out into that beautiful June,
out of that hot classroom, away
froon that cranky teacher. They
go belting out that door on the last
day like bees coming out of a dis-
turbed bees' nest.
A few of the more sensitive
ones, especially the girls, will
trill, "See you next year", or
"Have a good summer, Mr.
Smiley." The boys 'leave m a
slap -dash jostling mob, with
never a look behind.
And who can blame them? It's

been a long ten months. They
want to Bet out and do some real
living, to break the routines that
even in these permissive days,
make school a drag, and for
some, unfortunately, a simple
bore.
When I was in high school4- took
off in May or early June for a job
on the lake boats, with a
tremendous sense of release. I
didn't care whether they passed
me or failed me. After the first
summer, I knew it was going to
be four months of drudgery, at
coolies' wages, but I didn't care. I
was living, seeing new places and
new people, and delighting it.
Yet, strangely, by September, I
had a great nostalgia for 'school.

schoolfriends, football anu macs
and field, and could scarcely wait
to start the long hitch -hike home.
Each fall was a joy. Football
every day. A new girl, or the old
faithful one, to hold hands with on
crisp fall evenings. Some money
in the pocket, after the summer.
This euphoria lasted until about
the end of November. By the
middle of January, life and
school were deadly dull. The
money was pretty well gone. It
was too cold for outdoor
smooching, and in those days no
girl was allowed to have a boy
into her house, unless her mother
was sitting there looking
suspicious anu her tattier sittitg
there with a gun.
We couldn't afford ski equip-
ment. We were lucky if we could
scratch up the price of a hockey
game or a night's skating at, the
rink.
We couldn't afford to smoke or
drink or party or tear around, so,
on the whole, we were a fairly
moral lot. Believe it or not, 1, Was
president of a Young Man's Bible
Class for three years. My high
school principal was the leader,
and he forced me into it. I figured
I had to stay on the good side of
him, or I'd be in high school until
I was fifty.
There was only ene
10011$0d 8Ch
wintI at school. With no money
to do anything else, my gang
tended to spend mot at ow time
in the pool room, mite constant
abjurations . and its from our
maw,
There are ate :a few things
you can pick up in a poolroom:
PsyCholo ; a c+ rfui: vocabu-
lary; a smell of spittoona.1 got all
of those, but f also became a
pretty". rn good pool player, and
I've neer regretted it.
You have to become good when
you are "playing on your nerve."
This quaint old expression means
you haven't the money to pay the
proprietor for you table time, if
you lose. Winner plays free. So
you either won, or you sweet-
talked the boss of the poolroom
into adding what you owed to
your bill,. This. was about as easy
as President Nixon standing
before Congress, hand' on heart,
saying, "I cannot tell a lie."
It usually meant expulsion
from the poolroom, which was
like being thrown out of • the
garden et le.
Then there was thedo waing
through ' long, spring days,
waiting to and. f
remember *poor man called Dr.
fitly, saying to me one 'June
day, lid 'waning may,
you will never perphysics or'
chemistry, should you stay • hoe
until, you. are a grandfather. So
I'm. going to recommend you"
I've never forgotten this wise
remark, and have. since, aa a
teacher, alwaystemperedjustice
with mercy.
But l drifts School was then, is
now, and ever shall be, a place .to
.get out of, come June.
Yet ' there it a little. sass
among -the older students, who
are graduating. They are finally
mature enough to realize these
were possibly the best years of
their livers. They sign each other's
yearbooks. Mme weep.
promise to keep, in touch:, They t
knowing they probably will not,
after the first year. They are
scattering.
Halcyon days are over. They
are stepping off, sometimes
fearfully, into a world of work
