English Section: MOTHER’S DAY 1 had a real rough Mom. You know the kind— always after you to pick up your clothes and keep things neat and comb your hair and keep taking baths until your skin is ready to peel off. Course she did prepare some terrific meals, but I always had to help. Now don’t get me wrong. I didn’t mind helping out, but that washing and drying dishes stuff and carting vegetables and canned food home from the market . . . well, that can get any guy to start a revolution. But my Mom just never gave me enough time to revolt. She kept poking her nose into how much home­work I had and if it wasn’t just so, she made me do it over. And she talked me into signing up for the debating squad and the track team. On top of that, I had trombone lessons and I belonged to the stamp and coin club. And who do you think used to mow the lawn and get rid of the trash? All that stuff takes a lot of time away from a guy especially if you want to go out with the gang and meet some different girls and things. Wouldn’t you know that Mom of mine wanted to meet my friends before I was even allowed to go out with them! Rough, just rough—clear through. That was my Mother. Still, rough as she was, I grew up with an under­standing of right and wrong and responsibilities and obligations. And because I didn’t have the time, money, or energy, me and the guys and girls I went with never got hooked on glue or LSD. Fact is, we never even got to burn the flag or throw rocks at our teachers or fight policemen. Guess my rough Mom was just a w'onderful, wonderful lady. Thankfully, she’s still alive. And I hope that my kids will be as proud of me as I am of her.
