I don't remember if I had any real desire to get out of PhysEd but when the opportunity presented itself, I took it. I think I went to class for a week or two before they started construction on the bleachers (or something). Anyway, they couldn't close the gate to the field so they needed some "narks" to post at the egress points to make sure (get this!) that nobody skipped. My best friend and I were selected. We spent the hour, every day for the rest of the term, horsing around with discarded flourescent light tubes, doing homework, talking, whatever. In the words of Pip (Great Expectations, which we read during that time), "What larks."
