The 8th period. The school boys are expecting the bell to ring. A heavy silence drops over the class. The teacher jabbering away is not heard as nobody is prepared to! With 7 mammoth periods behind them and the hot afternoon sun sending streams of perspiration down their back, the boys, just do not listen to the teacher. The jarring, though welcome, sound of the bell wakes a few back-benchers who have decided to take a nap. After five minutes are wasted in shouting across the class the prayer is said. All 40 boys in the class end up with finishing the prayer separately and the teacher gets annoyed. Then comes the fun! The cleaning time!

Who is bothered about cleanliness?

The Brasso and Cleanzit boys announce that they know perfectly what their jobs are. On glancing at them one should find the Cleanzit being applied to wood, the Brasso to the - glass and water to the door handles. Two boys start playing cricket after seeing that the teacher, who has given up hope to bring order to the class, has started talking to another teacher. The broom serves as bat and the swab as the ball. The batsman hooks the ball in true Kapil Dev style and the swab hits a boy on the face. Soon a stream of oaths and unwanted language, coming from under a swab-covered face forces the batsman to run full pelt down the corridor.

"Clean? Not us" - Interact Club

The crew captain while locking the classroom does not realise that it is littered with paper bits and ink stains; the windows are smeared with finger prints; the pictures on soft boards left hanging on one pin; the blackboard dirty and the date written on it, is that of the next century! He walks off, his chest out, sure to win the Cleaning Banner.
