The Happy Years Page #3

mr. White to you,

please.

I'm most particular.

How do you do,

mr. White?

That's your kennel.

The bath's

down the corridor.

What did they

fire you for?

Uh... they fired me

for kissing a teacher.

There's a little too much

airy persiflage

going on around here.

You've got a lot

to learn, young fella.

Mr. White?

I brought some

things along.

I thought they might

help decorate the room.

Hmm.

What did they

fire you for?

Uh, they fired me-

you, stover, turn up

at 4:
00 for baseball.

I don't play baseball.

You're the ninth man

in the house,

and the green is

playing the cleve.

Everybody

has to play.

4:
00.

That's

the gymnasium bell.

Recitation's

coming up.

They got to get

to classes

before

the bell stops.

We're out

of bounds now.

Meaning me,

i'm out of bounds?

Mmm, the first day,

you can do as you like.

Come in.

You are new here, huh?

Yes, sir.

Stover, green house.

The green, huh?

Sew your shirt

on your back,

or they'll have it off

while you're putting it

in your coat.

Oh, i don't know.

I'm a pretty cute

proposition myself.

If any of those

smart alecks think

they can put one

over on-

all clear, al?

All clear

on the potomac.

I'm dodging

education today.

Al, serve up a nice,

creamy strawberry jigger.

Oh, i can see you expect

the cash first, huh?

What's a jigger?

Al:
Shad, here's stover.

Just came.

Stover, this is

the tennessee shad.

Shake.

My boy, i'd gladly

give up

all my hard-earned wealth to be you,

tasting

your first jigger.

Al, serve up

a nice, creamy

double strawberry

jigger,

on me.

No, i'll pay

for us both.

Wouldn't think

of it.

I'm not

the lowdown sort

who'd take advantage

of a newcomer.

Mr. And mrs. Conover's

place.

Pancakes and maple syrup

on a strictly cash basis.

Mr. Shad, couldn't i

buy you some pancakes?

On a warm day

like this?

Fella named

guzzler wilkens

ate 26 of those pancakes

in one sitting

one day

about 5 years ago.

That's the official

world's record.

26 pancakes?

That's not so many.

Well, if any boy

can eat 32 in one sitting,

conover will serve

free pancakes

to the whole school

all that day.

Now, dink, let's see

what i can do for you.

Have you got a crockery

toilet set for your room?

Doesn't that come

with the room?

Oh, dink.

Nobody ever uses the one

the school furnishes,

and especially a

ripsnorting sport like you

will want a special souvenir toilet set.

You know, dink, sock

missoula might sell you one

if i put in

a good word for you.

Well, there's

the school.

That's our chapel.

Next come

the circle houses-

the cleve,

the griswold.

There's the woodhull.

That's the dickinson house,

where sock missoula lives.
