Boys Clubhouse

Somebody  gets  some  loose  money  together  and  opens  a   boys 
clubhouse,  a great thing for the community as it takes  them  off
the streets into a clean safe environment.  It has everything.  An
elaborate  arcade with electronic games,  simulated race  driving,
medieval fights and the  like for leisure entertainment. Meals are
at   a  school  lunchroom.    The  steam  table  is   closed   but
refrigerators  are well stocked with ready made sandwiches,  soda,
beer and packaged  snacks aplenty that hang from a rack. Horseplay
is  permitted and classes are not in session.

At  certain  hours of the day they're all together in  a  carpeted 
clubroom  with  comfortable  large  sofas  and  theater  TV.   The
membership is all 14 to 18 highschoolers, so the everyday dress is
jeans,   T-shirt,   a   colorful   team   jacket,    billcap   and     
sneakers.  There's a large walkin closet with  well-stocked  racks
where  they  have  fun  changing  into  sailor,  greasemonkey  and
executive outfits and some bizarre costumes as well.  A few  relax
in just briefs and that's OK as it's all boys. Open till midnight, 
there are rooms upstairs for a nap or to hang out and do  homework
with visiting friends.
