I remember as a senior a method I developed for cutting out of last period PE. I would dress down, show up for roll call, then our class would do a lap around the track. A friend would drive by in his beat out convertable, timing it so that he came by just as the our class galloped arond the end of the track. I would duck down and dive into the convertable.

I had given him my street clothes after I had dressed down and would duck down in the car and change. The gates of freedom had finally blown open. We were off to the post-beatnik pleasures San Francisco where my girlfriend lived!
