Mainites Push Togetherness
By Edith Mangun '67
People think teenagers don't have any togetherness. One trip on our morning bus makes you thankful to be able to walk in the school door. Now, I am not saying that we are college youths trying to see how many people will fit in a bus, because I think we have already broken the record. When the bus driver yells, "All clear?" so as to close the door, can you imagine how many people are on the bus? A boy sitting near the door takes money and checks bus passes because the driver can't see the people getting on and because the people getting on can't see the driver.

The comments alone are just smashing. One will yell, "Get off my foot! I think it's my foot. It was when I got on anyway!" A small voice will say, "I lost my books and my hand was holding them!" A big strong fellow who looks like he would get through this all right says, "Can I have my arm back?" A tall, lean boy says, "I'm glad I didn't bring my lunch!" A boy asks a biology student, "What happened to your turtle?" The reply is, "Care for some soup?"
At the end of the trip no one walks off the bus. Students pour out and start to breathe again. There is now a movement to give us better service. The rumor is that we will soon have a bus and a half for our route.
