ho proceo past uils point do so at thtir on risk onttinry i csune igom the de lightful utile ulage of charglt ahlcl as situated on the bank of thr turbulent river kuft in alacju i had been employed there from a cry eirjy age with a band of ptckan- nlruet a a cotton picker i had gained admission to the pickanin nies union by blackening my face and using a brooklyn accent our fore man was old buck joe himself no leas that is he wa joe by name and old by years but be certainly wasnt black by nature i worked in the midst of the ptckannlnlea as they were plckln cotton for quite some time until finuy old joe fired me when he discovered that i vaint a plckln any and so it wi that on that famoun inwly ritdsy in february i left dear old chsrvltonthekuo and came lo georgetown -on- the -credit- i came at first merely for a week or tao of mosquito shooting about these pitts but alajtt cruel fate dealt her deadly blow and forced mc to speed my school life at georgetown high you are during the dying struggle of one of my victims i was kicked from behind and had my tibia fractured tbta being latin for ahlnbone but 111 bet you thought it wa some thing tutt at any rate i had to stay on in town long enough to py the local contractor ur bsro walker for the cement used in my piastt cast needless to say i wa mortar- fled ii this arrangement but the con tract wa iron clad and that is why i am here to day also iron clad but time were not so prosperous then and rather than do nothing for wothln- i decided to go to high bchool and do plenty for nothing how well i recall the first day i star co school let me see now that mas back in the day when adolf llltecr wa screaming his head off over a buast to boast crookup that oer- 1 many dldnl get any land out oi the last war but they certainly got plenty of dirt as you no doubt remember he talked so much that he finally convinced us that the worst heel of the axl make the most noltr i was a gay lighthearted youth at the time just turned twentyeight and as i walked along the street of georgetown in the warm fall air i gazed curiously into each storewin dow a i passed in order to see the reflection of my new boot i oa ery proud of those boots in fact i had ery thoughtfully purchased them eight size too large in order that i mould not outgrow them un happily however x hod made no provisions for not caring them out and long after thr sole had passed into nothingness leaving the uppers to shut for thcmselvrs i becamv genernlly known about town u the original barefoot boy ulth boot on the hchool itself mas a large red brick bulldliir mamtlng on the far- thcr edge of toun number scen j hlhua tan pist the door to toronto and also any pupils who could mike it it was in rrfune uays u ratlur odd looking building lor mich a

so that stu dent who stayed for lunch would not have far to go for recreauon of course when i say a stones uirow i am speaking of the distance at measured by the other boys as for myself i always had to get a little cloer to put a stone uirough one of the school window the school grounds were bounded on two sides by a farm operated by jack tost since there was no fence to speak of between the two properties jock could often be seen dashing madly about the school grounds in pursuit of stray chickens naturally we boys were always willing to lend a hand in helping lo chase the onto kens we all preferred blondes but just the same we never ran past a nice tooklng brunette if she happened to be a little alow on her feet on the inside the gcbool was very baauurul and i tuuet admit that tfae way that achool was plutmad and erected was a tribute to those archi tect of halv tzxm i br well the lint day x ever was draff- gad l mean stopped inside i fftsed around la awe as i admired those graceful qreelan iw arooftsag the doors tnoss artistic roman arches reporting the wtndow and those stately george ltunber 00 two by fours supporting the piaster on tho celling for truth to tell whenswer it rained the water would seep down through the crevices earning the oc casional chunk of plaster to drop off either on the floor or on anyone un fortunate enough to come between it and the floor that is why during wet weather our janitor jack brans used to go rushing about from room to room with a pail looking for the biggest drip without fall he always selected me i ab 74 i recall the first time 1 stood within the school gating about at its haggled desks with their re movwhle seats my how delightfully quaint this building looks i thougsi to myself why aa i stood there a little longer j could almost gn that 11 felt quaint then erect to stretch my imagination still farther there wa no rubber shortage tn those dy i could almost beller thi t it smelled ouant after drawing a deeper breath howner i decided to let it go at looking and feeling quaint the first ymr i was there they had the flagpole repaired and pain ted after examining the work carefully our principal ttr lambert agreed that it was a great improvement to the school he said that from up there he could spot a student smoking on the a to school aa far away as ilaple avenue everyone told me at school that x had broken all record by getting tnto first form at the tender agw of twen tyeight although many and many a student had still ton trying to t out at that age cftdry enough how ner the other pupua seemed rather small tn comparison to me but af terwards i learned that this was only because they were so young for their age i was always an amhuious student and i recall how i woo the castiron medal for being the first person of the new season to fall downstairs of course i wasnt the only one to fall downstairs in fact ur lunhert used to keep a list la the office containing the namea of all those who did ao the idea wa that if we got vgt name on the list we would get a new set oa stairs this arrangement was soon discarded however for it was found that is was far cheaper to get a new set of pupils each year sostaad despite all the moat mudei conven iences such as door and window our school had no cmriry room x am sorry to say now i understand when they were rwilutlng the school they did have a room set aside for this purpose but at the last moment they decided to put thcrme tn it and use it as a cupboard the result was that we had to use either a ciassroom or the stairway as an i audi torium whenever the entire student body was aaserntoled we were so crowd ed that acme of the pupils had to be picked up afterward and assembled pot instance i remember one ohrlst- msi party we had there on day wo had hut rinlshed alnglng our them song we uust all qtsok together when henry lccrtmen stjueeaed through the crowd carrying a largo bag of applea by the time henry had forced a passage through the crowd to the other end of the room he was left holding a bag of apple sauce not applea really though it a so crowded that ulss heales who was a favourite with all use boys stood ready with a first aid kit in case anyone fainted i was so surprised at the school bring con siderate enough to provide such pre cautionsthat i fainted of course when anyone did faint like that fifty pupils had to leave the room in order to ghe the victim room to foil down another thing we lacked was a gymnasium thu wasnt missed to much during good weather but when it rained it was a little crowded play ing football in the hall we dldnt even have room to kick the bull we just had to put a foot against it and push now playing football in the hall wius agulnm nil the rule and regulations or the school and just as the game begun to get exciting jack ean uould rush up out of the base ment and kick the boll ouulde then lie uould kuk us outside tro whte i was tlnrc the school mido a drpcratc upiul to the tuxpimrs
