The clubhouse
The letters painted on the door said “No girls allowed!”1
Being attracted2 to girls was the worst thing a member of the club could do. Even worse than dropping3 a pop-fly during the big summer baseball tournament.
Any boy that let a girl enter4 the clubhouse would have to wear the hockey helmet of shame5 while the other members took turns hitting6 the it with a stick. Then, the offender would be responsible for cleaning the clubhouse7 for a month.
It was the only way to keep icky girl cooties from striking 8like a plague and making everyone sick9.
The club only had to use the rule once. Every boy learned their lesson that day.
