V . , 4 Oh, What A Time We Had! I had the queerest dream last night, Ethel, I must tell you about it, for it seemed so real, that even' this morning, it seems as though it must have been true. All the teachers had quit teaching, and I had taken each of their various places. That wasn't all though, for every teacher was being taught-by me. In the roll room, I called the roll. f'NIiss Price. f'Present. Hllr. Kirk. f'Here, and so on, down the entire corps of teachers, until I had called every one. lX'Iy first class was Algebra. They all filed into room fourteen, whispering. They slammed their books down on their desks, and I noticed that IX'Iiss Todd was chewing gum. Nlr. Arant didn't have his Algebra problems, but I explained to him very carefully, how to transpose numbers, so the X's would all be on one side of the equation, and the numbers on the other side. That period didnyt last very long, and we all found ourselves in INIiss Lewis' room for first year Latin. Bliss Lewis couldn't translate one of the hard sentences which I gave her, so again I spent the greater part of the period explaining. The third period was study for them all. Such a noisy lot of teachers, I never did see! Illr. Kirk and Nlr. Arant were throwing paper wads at each other. Nliss Todd was whispering loudly to lNIrs. VVoodard, IX'Ir. Tatro turned clear around in his seat, to talk to IXfIr. King, while Nliss Price and Nliss Zimmerman were carrying on a conversation in French. However, all this seemed to worry me very little, and soon we were in Nlr. King's Nlanual Training Class. Here, Xliss Lewis and NIiss IWcQuaid worked hardest of all, although IX'Iiss VVagner followed closely behind. Before the period was over, they held a nail driving contest. Nliss Doolittle won the Hrst prize, and Nliss Prather, the second. VVe stopped for lunch soon, and llliss Brown announced, to our dismay, that she didn't intend to get any lunch for anybody. You see, I had been so busy, I had entirely forgotten about the cafeteria I rang the bell, at one o'clock, and again the teachers went into the roll room, and we had roll call. This time, I made each one answer to his name with a quotation from Shakespeare. lilies Zimmerman was the only one who missed. She got as far as, 'fAnd what is so rare as a day in June-Then - but thought in time to keep from reciting all of it. No one noticed her mistake. The fifth period was spent in Nlrs. IYIack's room, drawing. I think it must have been partly mechanical drawing, for IWr. Arant and Mr. King drew pictures of steam engines, but the rest drew pictures of each other. They seemed to enjoy that period more than any of the others. The sixth period was devoted to, Domestic Art. lVIr. Arant and IVIrs. Nlack out-rivaled all the oth-ers in this. Mr. Arant learned to run a sewing machine for the first time. IVIr. Tatro evidently had never run one before, either, for at the end of the period, he looked as if he had been playing ball for an hour, and remarked as they went out, that he believed there was more to at sewing machine than to a Ford. YVe went down to the chemistry laboratory and started to do some ex- periments. IVIr. Kirk picked up a bottle, with some sort of fluid in it and lighting a match, held it in the mouth of the bottle. We all watched it, to see what would happen. Suddenly, the most terrific explosion occurred that I ever hope to be near. I started to hit the ceiling, but instead, I awoke with a thud, and found that I was safely at home in bed. What a relief! It was certainly an adventure, and-oh what a time we had! E. B., y2I. 18
