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!

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.

Great Balls O' Fire, we said as we Drank Wine Spo-Dee-O-Dee, and the wonderful world of Rollo and Paige snatched us out of boredom. Rock Music was an unforgettable ex- perience. We got into the grooves in a few short mods with the jivin' toe tap- pin' sound of such well-knowns as Dolly Parker and Fats Domino. Mr. Paige became our Master of Trivia. He could tell us what label Elvis Presley's dog sang on, or the number of times Doggie in the Window was played in 1958 or the difference between a two-string and a three-string ukelele. Each time he purchased a new album for us to listen to, or brought a song for us to hear, he would get incredibly excited as if he had discovered the ar- tist himself. His enthusiasm was con- tagious and now some of us are jerry Lee Lewis freaks, or old Rhythm and Blues nuts. We get off when we hear The Kingston Trio and the mere sight of a record needle drives us crazy. We watched as Rollo's eyes turned misty as he heard Rock Around The Clock and he went back to the good old days of backseats and drive-ins. Well, Goodnight Irene! Faculty T5
