- --- -- I think that I shall never see a test like those in geometry A test that makes one scratch and squirm and wonder if he'll pass the term. A test that makes one tear his hair and wish that he weren't in his chair. A test that turns one's hair to snow by asking questions I donUt know.

Although against young love I am no preacher, ' The gal you've got your eye on is the new teacher. Coach, you look all in today.
