I Th ere was no shortage offoolish aampçw dnfva vintr from THOSE on page 8 We had nu park withmn easy walking distance and were in sort of a triangle on our own, cut off from other areas by a river, a golf course and a major road we weren'f supposed to cross. 1 remember a couple years during school 1 spent part of slmosf every day standing in the bail. Usually, at the other end of thc hall would be my brother. We'd make sure we'd have marbles with us at alI times 50 we could roll themn down the hall at each other and have some fun. At least until the principal had me waif in his office one aftemoon so 1 could think about the strap he wa.s gning f0 give me. That put a senious cramp in our hallway fun for at least a week or two. We were always gefting int o trouble during the sunaimer, almost on a daily basis. It's as if if wssn't fun unless we were doing some- thing we weren'f supposed f0 do. Naturally, we weren't smart enough fo think of the conse- quences, or if our fun was an inconvenience f0 anyone cIsc. 'Nicky Nicky Nine Doors' was a favourite pastime. Tbat's when you knocked on somebody's door and everybody would mun and ide. Even more fun was f0 do it again af the same door. although flot everybody was dumb enough to faîl for iftbree times. 1 found that ouf the bard way whcn a man was waifing for us after multiple knocks and opened up the door rghf away We al -ý"Student named to RIT Dean's List They say everything happent in fbrees.

If's kind of like that joke wifh the bear - i don't have f0 outrun the bear, I only have to outrun you. Anyway, I feul, scraping my knees and my hands. Everybody cite ran by me and Use man picked me up by the back of the shirt and started marching me to my bouse. I knew enough to do tomne whimpering, and he could tee that 1 was hurt, and maybe felt sorry for me. He explained to me that he offen worked in the evenings and thaf he was worried about is wife being home alone. "We won'f do if again, tir," I told bim honestly, and I was off the hook. There was nothing worse than being punished and having to waste a sommer day alone in your room. About Use worsf thing we used to do, af least in ferms of criant- nal acfivify, was ide on a certain hole of the golf course, and after Use gofers' drives, we'd run ouf and take their golf halls. They had to come down a big hilI by a roundabout route, so fhey couldn't tee us. We'd ide in the buthes and iaugh our heads off when they couldn'tfitnd their bail.
