Vonnegut at MHS

Today, there's assembly at MHS. Before entering the gym, everybody must remove their shoes. Once taking a seat on the bleachers, the student body starts listening to Mr. Schaffer. He is saying what he always says. That MHS is a school that only teaches lives, and how we should be so lucky we don't go to a school where they teach the truth. Once his short speech is over, he allows the senior class to commence the ceremony of bokumaru. They all head down to the basketball court and touch the bottoms of their feet to each others. After several minutes, their ceremony time is up, and it's the juniors turn. Their turn is slightly shorter than the seniors, since they have not been taught as many lies. Then the sophomores go, followed by the freshman, each time a little shorter. After each has has had a turn, the teachers of the lies all have a go. They get the longest period of time since they have more knowledge of lies, and are the lie masters of MHS. All the students are to observe their foot touching technique, since they have the most experience. Before assembly ends, every member of the school is invited to sing a Calypso that was chosen by Mr. Colb, the Great Master of Lies. Then, when the sacred assembly is dismissed, all followers are free to go to lunch.
