Book excerpt: The high school is overcrowed; and while waiting for the new building to be completed, the administration--specifically Mr. Hammermocker--installs twelve lockers in a cluttered, long-neglected alcove that has formerly been used only as a storage space. Here, amid a seventy-year accumulation of piled-up classroom refuse, are assigned six boys and six girls--or six couples, as the girls are quick to note. A large part of the play is concerned with the way in which the girls divide the boys among themselves and then proceed to form a club slanted toward a furthering of that blissful contemporary state known as "going steady." Grainger Kantwell (Kant), who feels alienated from the others because of a series of unpleasant experiences brought about by his father's wealth, is something of a problem to the girls. So they "assign" Kant to Phyllis Hughes, who has been out of public school since the eight grade and is now returning to complete her senior year. They say, "Phyl has been out of touch with things so long she won't know how Kant is. She'll remember him as he was before--when he was all right." The more serious part of the play is concerned with the relationship that develops between Phyllis and Kant, a relationship that reaches its climax when some money disappears from Ida's locker, and circumstances indicate that Kant is a thief. The genuine regret expressed by the other students when they discover that their suspicions are unfounded brings Kant to realize that he is not the outcast he thought himself to be. The turn of events also brings new insight to Phyllis, enabling her to understand that she is not so "differnt" from the others as she had thought. As she sums matters up, "I have an idea now that everyone in the world is pretty much alike--in most things. You, too, Kant." Kant enthusiastically agrees; the Club's symbolic ritual is solemnized once more, and the "membership drive" of the Hammermocker Hammerlockers is dramaticallt completed
