<br>
<br>In my southside Chicago 1920's childhood, when playing hide and seek,
<br>the child who was "it" would hide his eyes and count up to 100 by fives
<br>then cry out, "Here I come, ready or not.  All around gool's it."
<br>"Gool" referred to the tree truink or whatever the it child leaned
<br>against to hide his eyes while counting.  "It", of course meant "the
<br>child who must count and then seek for others who were hiding.
