If your organi- Con't on Terrace Bay News SUGAR AND SPICE smiley ow Tor a snooze You think you're tired? I've been home for three days from my. second trip to Expo, and I'm still whimpering with fatigue. Any Expo trip is a_back- breaker, but when you are she- pherding a gaggle of teen agers, it's gruelling You wind up a three-day trip with blis- tered feet, hollow eyes and the stunning realization that you are really, at last, over the Hill. Picture your faithful corre- spondent lurching out of bed at 6 a.m., to catch the bus at seven. Repulsive, isn't it? But you should have seen the same body some 21 hours later, af- - ter a nine-hour bus trip, hours of trudging the asphalt of Expo, and more hours of get- ting the kiddies to bed. And to sleep. Some of those "kiddies" are 20 years old. 'It was past the repulsive State by then, and was merely pitiable. We. averaged 19 hours a day in action, five in bed. : It wasn't all that bad, though. It seldom' is. As usual, 97 percent of the kids came through with flying colors. We didn't lost a single body, and they were punctual at the buses, which floored me com- pletely. ' It was the other three per- cent, of course, who made the jaunt somewhat less than a pic- nic. One bird on my bus got into the booze, barfed all over the back seat' and floor of the bus. He did it so quietly that we didn't find out about it until morning. He was torn into small strips and given the job of cleaning out all the buses. He was a lamb for the rest of the trip. Three little guys in Grade 9 went to the Tunisian restaur- . ant for a meal. It cost them $21. They gleefully admitted as how the carafe of wine they had with dinner might. have put the price up a bit. What surprised me was the calibre of the culprits. On my bus I had a pretty tough crew. Mostly Grade 12 tech boys. I had along my rhinoceros-hide whip, my _ brass_ knuckles, sand-bag and the special re- volver which shoots tranquilli- zer darts. Didn't need any- thing. They were angels. Real _ trouble-makers were the so-called "leaders" of the October 19, 1967 ee +) ae tT school. Whether it was sheer giddiness from exhaustion, or a desire to show off, I don't know. But, I told one of-them in my most ferocious manner, they were acting like old maids who have had their first marti- ni. We got the 75 boys "settled down" in one huge dormit ry about 1.30 a.m. the first night. At three I was awakened. Nipped out and caught two seniors sneaking in the back door. ; Pointed a trembling (with rage) forefinger at one and said, "Kelly. Do you want a one-way ticket home tomorrow, with a phone call preceding it?" "Nossir." "Well, that's. what you're going to get, and that goes for anybody else who even peeps like a little bird." Miracle They went off to sleep. It wasn't exactly visions of sugar-plums dancing - in their heads. It was visions of enraged parents and an irate principal. Second night, boys were bushed and it was the girls who goofed around half the night, giggling, singing and talking. My own daughter was right- in the thick of it, and Tooked like a ghost at, break- fast. But it was a good trip, all in all. A kink here and there, to be ironed out. We learned a lot. One thing: keep them starved. Stop for food, and it doesn't matter whether they're on their last legs. You'd swear Gabriel had just blown the trumpet. They come to life with a-vengeance and yack, sing and horse about as though they'd been given speed pills. About Expo. It's losing. its gloss. With the season nearing its end, the staff is growing steadily more surly and sloppy. Can't blame them. The excite- ment has worn off, the big show is losing its momentum, and most of them are bored silly with their jobs. Found my son, anyway. Ap- propriately enough, he's work- ing in a building where they have monkey cages. We spent a happy half-hour watching the monkeys. As usual, he was broke. As usual, I was took.
