Several more football aspirants neared and entered the gym. The name of each was called off by Bert. "This is the first year," chuckled Bayliss, "when Gridley hasn't had a chance for a star eleven." "I'll miss the game, myself, like fury," commented Dodge. "All through last season, when I played on the second eleven, I was looking forward to this year."
When they came out from luncheon a notice was posted that Mrs. Eustice would address the school at two o'clock in the assembly hall in the main building. It was now one-thirty. "Let's go look at the gym," suggested Bobby. "We have time. Oh, how do you do?" this last was apparently jerked out of her. "I didn't know you were coming to Shadyside, Bobby," said Ruth Gladys Royal effusively.
Edmund turned this over in his mind, and then said, "No, sir," as much as to say, "I may have lost a shoe, but, thank goodness, I can still understand sound reasoning." "Well, what am I to do? Where is the other shoe?" "Don't know, Mr. Jackson," replied Edmund to both questions. "Well, I mean ... Oh, dash it, there's the bell." And Mike sprinted off in the gym shoes he stood in.
Under ordinary circumstances she'd have seen the puffs from the staircase and have asked what they cost and told me they didn't match, in one breath. But she had something else on her mind. She padded over to the counter in her gym shoes, and for once she'd forgotten her legs. "May I speak to you, Minnie?" she asked. "You mostly do," I said. "There isn't a new rule about speaking, is there?"
He said, "There is a rule of the gym, that men who come here in the evening, who are very largely given their own way, are nevertheless obliged to do what they are told; and you may escape serious trouble by attending to my orders." I still demurred, but was forced to the ring side, a roped enclosure, with a pair of boxing gloves and an instructor to take care of the proceedings.
My first husband added even more to the physical plant constructing a large, rustic gym and workshop. Many "alternative" people visited and then begged to stay on with room and board provided in exchange for their work.
But we persuaded them that they had saved the college with their whiskers; and before they graduated we begged a bunch from each of them to frame and hang up in the gym some day when the incident wasn't quite so fresh. Naturally, by this time, we believed that the Faculty ought to consider itself lucky to be allowed to hang around the college.
As a hostess and chaperone were deemed absolutely indispensable upon any occasion, however informal, Mrs. Bonnell was always eagerly sought after by the girls to act in the former capacity and Miss Dalton the gym instructor in the latter. Miss Dalton seemed just like a girl herself, and was, in fact, not many years her pupils' senior.
"Hold her girls, or she'll dash straight over the ropes," said Nora. "I'd like to," retorted Grace. "It's dreadful to stand here unable to help and see our dear old gym. go, and perhaps our school, too." "Well, you turned in the alarm, and that's a whole lot," declared Jessica stoutly. "If you hadn't seen the blaze when you did things might be a good deal worse.
Nevertheless, she repaired to the gym and ignoring Mrs. Bonnell's assurance that no girls were missing proceeded to call the roll. Of course all responded.
