Teaching Goes Erotic juniors and seniors plowed through English literature, often wondering if they were really studying English. The classes, if taught in a public school, would probably bring in a hoard of bookburning and bawling jackasses with their torches. Nowhere but at Holland Hall could we read Lady Chatterley'5 Lover or Catcher in the Rye without shouts of eroticism from the peanut gallery. Where else could we learn about Oscar wilde-a man who strolled the streets of London tossing flowers hither and thither, dressed in ruffles and orange and pink brocade? Mr. Krieckhaus's classes are even more titillating. You learn about the original feely movies lunlike Earthquakel via Brave New World. Then they gave us a psychology test which was obviously a Sex Inhibition Test. . . Do you like your body? To top it all off, juniors and seniors were re- quired to watch a new revised form of The V.D. Film. Maybe they're trying to tell us something?? Eleanor D. Carrnack Nancy A, Caruthefg Clifford W.

You might call him unfair, a player of favorites, over-demanding, a sexual pervert, anything awful your overworked brain can produce, but you don't ap- preciate him. Teachers spend as much time as we do at school, sponsoring camping trips, help paint signs, advise us when we're angry or down or in trouble, build sets, direct plays, give concerts, spend free mods tutor- ing, coach sports, and most im- pressive of all-put up with fre- quent spurts of apathy, bad jokes, anger, silliness, and dullness, to name a few. fHave you ever been about to drive a relevant, deep point home when you notice fifteen pairs of glassy, semi-conscious eyes fixed on yours?l The Holland Hall faculty is not, for the most part, just a set of teachers trained to preside over us and mold us into a pre- designed shape. They could be, but they're not. They have great individuality, and allow us to have ours . . . that's very rare. Mr. Bird bounces while Messrs. Palma and Price lunge along in the com- pany of Clark Lipotich and Rick Chadsey at the Faculty-Senior basket- ball game. V152 1' li 2 5 f fi-elsmseza

Palma vs Toro Palma versus toro. lt was a fight to the finish as Mr. Palma slashed his pink cape over his shoulder and into the face of that oncoming terror-a baby black angus bull, with one-inch horns. Those who went on the Spanish trip do owe quite a lot of thanks to Mr. Palma, Mrs. Oliver and Mrs. Stock for not having let themselves get kid- napped on the subway or hustled away by the proprietor of a greasy taco stand, otherwise we might never have gotten back home. Mrs. Oliver had the whole trip planned out to the last miniscule moment so that we'd be so exhausted we wouldn't be able to keep her up all night partying. But aside from keeping us out of trouble, there was the time she sent us back to Alameda Park on a bus. The bus went around the block and the driver promptly tossed us out. Mrs. Stock was a wizard at finding cultural ex- periences for us to try out. We traipsed through dirty open restaurants, talked with street singers and watched jai aloi games. lWe wondered if Mrs. Stock was watching the games or the handsome men.J But if you'd been accosted on the bus or if your stomach couldn't take all the tacos, guacamole, and brandy-loaded pastry, at least there were three con- cerned people to try to help you han- dle it. 14 Faculil!
