He quickly fumbled through a stack of fresh, white papers, trying desperately to remember each and every new face that entered the room and his eyes, constantly moving, seemed to soak up every detail and movement around him. Howard was well liked by all his students, and he in- sisted on being called Howard, as this put him on a more personal basis with his students. His casual, understand- ing attitude gave assurance to the worriers, and his booming voice, although coarse and loud, emitted feel- ings of confidence to all within hearing distance. He started class by reading the daily announcements, and, peering through wire rimmed glasses, his eyes, intense with worried luster, expressed as much emotion and character as the voice which was doing the talking. He finished with a sense of completeness, and after an indication of understanding from his class, he proceeded to go about his planned activities. Rising from his grey and black, comfortably padded chair, Howard walked across the room to a nearby yellow podium. His large, brown, baggy pants, obscured his posture and physical shape and seemed to follow closely behind him like a late afternoon shadow. He leaned carelessly on the podium, causing it to tilt dangerously on one edge, and his stalky, jiggly figure swayed with the motion ofthe stand. Picking up a stack of loose papers, he began reading other students' creative writing efforts. With an intense, deep, and commanding voice, Howard made even the worst of tales seem a masterpiece in its own sense, His tired, aged face gave character to every word produced, and his constantly moving, wrinkled hands, imaginarily depicted the scenes being described. Upon the completion of one tale, Howard lowered his now raised hand and gently stroked his exceptionally large protruding nose. He then rested his fat, wrinkled double chin on his now inactive hand, stood motionless for a moment peering out over the inspired class, then moved over to his cluttered desk. Looking up once again at his wonder lost students, he cheerfully reported, see you tomorrow and happy writing. ... Paul Losinski ... Mr. Howard Mensch
