Pm in Your Dad's Class by Margaret Klein When you go to school with your mom or dad, knowing that he or she knows most of your teachers, lite can be interesting. Even worse, your friends may have your parent, and you can't escape remarks or complaints about the class. Probably the most common question asked by the faculty kids' teachers is Do your parents teach here? Once the secret is out, you face a whole year ot ridicule or daily reports to your mom or dad. It's an embarrassing situation if you're not doing well. You know your mom or dad will find out from a nice teacher who is doing a favor. There are rewards, however. You now know the entire faculty. It is a bonus if you're in a bind and the teacher can help. By the end of the four years at high school, the embarrassment has turned into a feeling of calmness of the whole situation. You're used to attention from everyone and go on with your lite. Having a mom or dad at E.T.H.S. makes you closer. They know about what is happening, and you have a lot of fun sharing your school day with them. You both can learn from each other also. You can see the problems of being on each side of the desk.

I listen but hear only rustling pages and the heating system. What is this? I thought Central Resource Center was the one place a person could socialize freely, the place to escape for a deep conversation. Things are not really as they had seemed. After this initial disillusionment, however, I looked around and saw that this place wasn't too oppressive after all. And if I really listened, I could hear an undercurrent of talk that I haclnft heard before. Well, maybe I can see how people wouldn't mind coming here fl, f his !:s, ,a C- I--,1 la-Q ,wig f m,.f,F.

Just as he said this, a librarian strode out from behind the main desk and separated an innocent couple quietly doing physics. Finally the bell rang, and the whole library rose and jammed the exit gate. After this visit many impressions were bouncing around in my head, but one seemed to rise and whisper above the others as I walked out I think I said, Free at last, free at last, thank God almighty I'm free at last!
