Brentwood Car Wash

Washing a Masters car was both a priviledge and a treat.  I can not remember if I was involved because I was doing a "Defaulter" ( work punishment ) or if I volunteered, but to wash Master Browne's car was alot of fun in the 1960's.  Four students would surround the car and lather it with soap in front of the main entrance.  The Master would lose interest in the process and go inside, where one student would keep a lookout and the others would quickly wash and flip a coin to see who got to drive.  
When the coast was clear, the "Winner of the Flip" would get inside, start up the car and light up the tires with much tire screeching to the top of the Brentwood driveway.  A slow return to the front entrance was required to insure the car was returned in one piece.  Another defaulter could be earned if caught.
