Classroom Closeups . Poor egg! One sea's his hobby. In English we lived in the past! The castles with knights in armor, Indians in a primeval forest, and Paris of the Revolu- tion Were brought to us in their full glamor. Then came reality with periods, commas, hyphens, and apostrophes. No more could we read in lonely solitude, for just as Robinson Crusoe's solitude was bro- ken by Friday so was ours. Along came Friday armed with drills of unbelievbale appearance that kept us quivering in constant terror. While Rome burned and Nero played the fiddle, history was being written. Unluckily the fire did not destroy either history or the fid- dle. Now both are used as implements of torture. We suffered through World history only to take a year of U. S. history. Little known facts of our history and instructions in corruption as prac- ticed by leading men of their day were given to us. Biology is the study of living things, plants, and animals. The animals proved to be dead - in fact they were kept in formaldehyde. Chemistry saved us from Dull Physics . Some hobbies get thc air. Two many cooks spoil the soup. A discussion on non-musical organs. 40

am sf By Louis Stevens -A-D -wr French play time. ,gt 5 They would work. Although we had heard ru- mors to the effect that Latin was a dead language, we were uncertain until we took the language. French proved less trying, for there was some life there. We experienced the life of Paris but not of Paris today. Lex Miserables proved to be a grand inspiration for social workers, who set at the translation with vigor. In German we read of Imnzrlzsrr and other places, starting with deliberate slowness and ending with unbe- lievable speed. It took a year's course to teach us how to keep books other than library books. Transactions were recorded showing our imaginative profits and losses. Skill replaced our primitive methods of cautiously tapping out one letter at a time. Scribbling called short- hand is useful in dictation-but when approached by a dictator we arise bodily to declare, We will not be dictated to! Accounting was accounted for by bookkeeping. It con- tained drafts, promissory notes, and everything else. In Commercial Law we were told how to avoid the law. Trying to be model students. One type of writer. A rather grave matter. Kraft is not the cheese. 41
