Howe l don't know how many of you are familiar with the kind of school that I went to three years ago, but let me tell you about it. A typical day went something like this. School began promptly at 8:15 a.m., at which time there was a morning assembly. During this assembly no one was allowed to talk at all, those who did usually got a disorderly. At this assembly there was usually a hymn followed by the school prayer. Once the assembly was over we all filed out quietly and went to classes. The school day was broken into ten periods each forty - five minutes long, with two bells after each period, one at the end of the period and one three minutes later at the beginning of the next one. When we were not in class we were supposed to be in study hall. If we did not have a good reason as to why we were not in study hall when we should have been, we were given a disorderly. Needless to say there was no talking in study hall and we could only leave study hall if we had a note from our teacher. Seniors, the only people who did not have to be in study hall, usually hung out around a place called the senior room, which was located under the headmaster's office. The senior room contained a billiard table, a record player, a radio, a poster of Raquel Welch, and also members of the senior class. When either the volume of the record player got too loud or a prospective applicant to that school got grazed by a stray billiard ball, the senior room was closed down for aweek. Jackets and ties were mandatory and there were strict rules governing hair length. All rules governing clothing and hair were formulated by a faculty committee called The Dressand Appearance Committee lDAC for shortl. The same English courses were given year after year. We studied exactly what the grade before us did. Every week we had to memorize ten English vocabulary words, and during the summers we were responsible for memorizing three hundred words.

RICHARD They wrote in the old days that it is sweet and fitting to die for one's country. But, in modern war there is nothing sweet nor fitting in your dying.
