Slrange, lhal he should have such a proud, pleased look on his lace when he admilled deleal. Remember brash, noisy Ned and lhe leacher who never raised her voice? You could pick Ned oul a block away as lhe Ioudesl and rowdiesl in lhe group. Il someone lripped walking down lhe aisle il was Neds lool lhal quickly darled back under his desk, I-Ie was lhe lype who would have made good use ol an inkwell had we lived in lhe era ol piglails. Boislerous and rude, Ned presenled a problem lo any inslruclor. We leared lor lhe menlal slabilily ol lhe soll spoken leacher when he landed in her class. During lhe lirsl week she sludied him quielly. Then one day, while handing back some wrillen work, she had her say, You have a gill ol phrasing--I enjoyed reading your paper . The nexl day Ned handed in lwo papers lo our one and in doing so, wilhdrew a couple ol paces lrom lhe cenler ol lhe slage. Slowly bul surely il happened-wilh a word ol approval here-a nole ol encouragemenl lhere-lhe obnoxious Ioudness changed lo a guiel conlidence. Remember when our hearls surged wilh lhe same rebellious spiril lell by our lorelalhers in lheir lighl againsl oppression? A lilling comparison indeed. Il was lhe lask ol memorizing lhe Declaralion ol Independence lhal had been assigned lo us by our oppressor-lhal is-leacher, lhal aroused our lighling spiril. Declaralion ol Independence-whal mockery in lhose words. This was nol independence spending hour aller hour com- milling Jellersons words lo memory, inlacl wilh every punclua- lion mark. Could be lhe lacl lhal we reciled lhe Declaralion ol Independence inslead ol counling sheep when ballling insomnia be classilied as a Hpursuil ol happinessu? Yes, we spullered, we lived wilh one ol our nalion's grealesl documenls. We be- gan lo see inlo lhe lighling hearls ol our counlrymen who had so bravely expressed lheir sland. Indeed one ol our proudesl accomplishmenls in our school years has been lo echo lhose im- morlal words which hold lheir lrulhs yeslerday, loday and lo- morrow. This abilily ol ours may even come in uselul in a TV quiz program someday. We could cile incidenl aller incidenl why we have recon- slrucled lhal pedeslal we placed our leachers on in our early school years.
