changed by newcomers accurate,
up-to-date records are impossible.

unintentionally.

^************************
One of the unexpected events in I
the life of a teen-ager, especially
in the winter time (in fact, almost
always) is .that unearned Deep-
Freeze vacation from school. Yes,
the arrival of snow on a school
day can be very trying to the ac
tive mind. A certain charming fel
low by the name of Joe (you
thought it would be something
corny like O. Versleep, didn’t you?
Well, it all just goes to show you
how unpredictable HIGH LIFE can
be) spends his snowy (and more
snowy) days like this.
To begin with, the alarm clock
rings (naturally). Of course, Joe
mutters something to himself about
just woit till Saturday comes; he
turns once over lightly, and is_just
on the verge of a good morning’s
sleep when suddenly he senses in
his 88th mind (the one that never
fails on algebra tests) that this day
is different. He drags himself out
of bed and over to the nearest
window. Well whayda know Joe!
There’s a cloudburst of 100 percent
pure ivory flakes coming down. He
flicks on his radio just in time
to hear his favorite disc flip say
“open today.” Violently Joe goes
through the excrutiating experi
ence that all must face at one time
or another: trying to find out what
was said just before he tuned in.
After three half hour commercials
and five hits from 1925 the Ever-
Popular Dead-Pan Dan the Man
with the Music to Set Heads a-
Spinnin’ Right with , the Records
Everyday of the Year Including the
Fourth of July and the Morning
after the Night Betfore re-an-
nounces that no city or county
schools will be open today. Before
he could say Ever . . . Before, Joe
is back in bed. Contrary to his
usual ability to sleep, he is unable
to shrQt an eye. So he begins to
plan his day.
(Yawn.) “First I’ll eat. No sense
disregsi'ding customs. Pancakes,
bacon, eggs, and cereal might be
good as a starter. Well, that’s
settled anyway. Then (yawn) I’ll
dress and go sleighing. Of course,
I’m really too big for that stuff,
but there’s no sense letting all
this powder go to waste.
Maybe Pop will let me bor
row that sled I got him for Christ
mas.
“By then it’ll be time for lunch.
Mom’ll probably want me to do
something constructive today too.
. . clean up my room oi; mop the
attic. Well, maybe I’ll give her a
thrill and co-operate a little, but
just as long as it doesn’t take more
than five minutes. After all, this
day is half over already.”
Just then the phone rings and
Joe grabs it by the neck before
it can utter another clang. “Yeah,
this is Joe. Did I see the snow?
Are you nuts?” Now it must be
understood that Joe is a very
critical lad, and to him there is
no excuse for ridiculous questions
like “Did you see the snow?” Joe
hangs up the-phone and trots back
to his bedchamber for further
planning of the day’s events. Time
goes by and Joe is lost in his con
templations.
“I could study a little'today . .
but that’s silly. A day like this
was made for more worthwhile
things. Say, maybe I should make
this a profitable day and shovel
some sidewalks. Aw, that’s crazy,
Joe! You’ve got to stay in condi
tion for the next game. Yelling
from the grandstands can get pret
ty strenuous sometimes. Well, it
was a very worthy idea.” Joe
realizes sleepily that being snow
bound isn’t all the fun he, thought
it would be. More tempus fugit as
Joe’s Latin teacher would say, and
Joe . . . well, shhhh. But wait . . .
a voice . . _.
“Joe . . . Joe?” It’s Joe’s mother.
Why it must be time to get up.
“No school today, Ma. G’night.”
“That was yesterday, Joe. You’ve
.slept for 36 hours, and now you’ve
got to go to school.”
Joe switches on- Ever . . . Be
fore just to be sure his mother
isn’t “spoofing.” “Open' today.”
“Oh dear.” mumbles Joe to him
self. “Here we go again!”

matic episode? Turn on your radio
