SNOWBOUND d
A True Story by Gerald hygatt

Fred McCoun was stalling around out
side the school with me. He lived on
Eighty-fourth Street; he still does He
was waiting to walk home with Father
too. Generally Father would take trolley
at Eighty-fourth Street. His heart began
to bother him after few blocks walk,
but didn't know that then.
Fred and started tossing snow at each
other. Then we backed away and pegged
Efe-size snowballs. We probably thought it
was all right because the whole school had
gone home by now. and we were the only
ones left Besides, my father was the prin-
cipal! The rules, in other words. didn't
apply to US.
Fred was right by the front door OF the
school. slammed a swift one at him, aad
at that moment Father walked out Of the
door. The swift one took off his black
derby hat, sent it rolling in the snow.
Father didn't say word. He just picked
up his hat and brushed it off. Then he
went back into the school Fred McCom
gave ne a single look and went INTO the
school after him. / followed.
We followed Father up the stairs to his
office. He sighed. l know now what that
sigh meant. 1t meant that he wasn't going
to get his nap. and that tomorrow would
he another had dav fnr him
Father was as impersonal with us as he
would have been with window cleaner.
He said: You will learn, and recite to me
before you leave, fifty lines of Whittier's
'Snowbound.' think that's appropriate"
Do you rememt ''Snowbound"? I'll
never forget it. learned fifty lines of it in
two hours. It's fairly easy learning. but
fifty lines. Fred and thought, was pretty
darn stiff!
We NEVER thought, because we were too
busy learning the thing, Of the man who
sat waiting in his lonely Office - and sat
and sat and sat, while darkness came on,
and it was finally night We just thought
of ourselves; that fifty lines was pretty
stiff. Finally we went in, stammered
through it.
Then Father said: Still want to walk
home, boys? think it would do US all good
to brush the cobwebs out of our brains"
We walked home, friends, through the
snow. That was many years ago but the
lesson of that winter afternoon is still with
me-in a democracy, laws are laws
Whoever you are, you should play the
game, and observe them.

@SDon't throw snOwballs,
Father ordered - but the
bows took a chance. Let's
see what happened to them

NGY FATHER invariably referred to HIM

was the headmaster of one of the largest
boys schools in New York City. remem-

the time of Fathers ban On snowballing.
There had been many complaints from
neighbors and passers-by. Finally police
man came to the school; he was apologize
but firm. The other schools had had to ban
snowballmg. Our school would have to
ban snovhalling too. You couldn't have
two hundred and fifty boys in single
street plastering one another with snow
balls and at the same time have that
street function as street.
FATHER led the morning chapel services.
This morning he got up in chapel and told
us he had bad news for us. He told us
about the policeman. But with twinkle
in his eye he reminded us that the ban was
not fatal The policeman had said that it
applied only to the block in front of the
school 1t didn't apply to West End Ave
nue., Riverside Drive or Broadway.
''You can still throw s,owballs," he
said. That is one of the inalienable rights
of boyhood. Just don't throw them on

The boys grinned Father grinned- We

There were three or four inches of beauti-

him to form new cabinet.
Egypt's decision to declare war
on the Axis still stands. The pre-

Arabic newspapers reported Egypt
had not been asked to furnish
troops for actual combat service.
