Exercise 44
The Cornish Language Society has organized a quiz about Cornish culture. When's it happening? This evening. Where's it taking place? In the School theatre. But at noon today Ms Combellack told Demelsa the theatre's needed for rehearsal ahead of the jazz concert Year 11 has planned for next week. Alys is hysterical.
Alys:
Oh no! Why weren’t we told ages ago? The Year 11 Band! And one completely pointless rehearsal! Why should some rehearsal be more important than our own Society’s event. And who on earth cares about jazz any more anyway? I hate it!
Demelsa:
Don’t talk rubbish! When you’re in the right mood what music don’t you just love? Calm down. We must think laterally. Where can we relocate the quiz to?
Alys:
Don't ask me. Lots of classrooms are big enough. But won’t that be really lame? All of us sitting in a room full of stuff belonging to one of the lower years?
Demelsa:
Listen to the Sixth Form's Super Snob talking! But we can’t make use of the sports hall either – it’s much too big. And we'd never get permission for it at such short notice.
Alys:
Mr Jenner!
Demelsa:
Who? Mr Jenner? What about him? What do you mean?
Alys:
He’s the one who helped me compile all the questions. And he’s the Librarian. Let’s ask if we can hold the quiz in the School library.
Demelsa:
It won’t be ideal, but it could be okay. How many students usually work in the library after school finishes – fifteen, twenty? They’ll have to move to one of the ICT rooms. Let me ask very nicely.
(Returns after ten minutes) Damn it! We can’t use the library! Jenner says the School library’s reserved for academic work. He said: “Studying always ranks ahead of activities.” What miserable luck.
Alys:
Not at all. Never mind! Keverne-Never-Mind! She’s just now given permission to meet in her dance room – where the people learn ballet. We can fetch three tables and plenty of chairs from somewhere else. So problem solved!
Demelsa:
Us shift furniture? That’s against Health and Safety. Go quick as you can to Administration and ask for the School to do it. I’ll let everyone know about the change. Thank heavens for dance teachers!
