“IT'S THE LIFE Ten minutes to nine! I felt my pulse quicken and my knees grow suddenly weak. Only ten minutes more a:id they would be in. W ho? If they had been a bunch of savage desperadoes. the fright which was overtaking me could have been no worse. As it was they were only a crowd of “sweet, innocent children.’ However. I questioned their innocence in the schoolroom. 1. myself, had vivid recollections of tacks, paper wads, etc. Why could 1 not muster up that fine courage 1 had had for weeks before. With endless amount of theory in my cranium, and a still greater amount in my books. I was fully prepared to meet any emergency. (Fond dreams. I assure you). They were in the room. I attempted to smile a pleasant good morning which resulted in a terrible grimace and several suppressed giggles. “Bubbles was suggested as a song for opening exercises. “Fine.’’ said I .What luck that they should choose one I knew so well. Grasping the edge of the desk to control my nervousness. I began the familiar strain. “Fm forever blowing bubbles-----. I suddenly realized 1 was “Bub- bling alone, and the uproar that followed was far from soothing. To my horror I learned that my “Bubbles and theirs, were never blown by the same composer.

I breathed a sigh of content as 1 glanced at the pair of huskies memorizing a ten-stanza poem; at a similar pair struggling with decimals: and at the innocent-looking chap cleaning blackboards. W hen asked for the plural of child, he had glibly answered “twins. It was over and what a relief. 1 felt like a punctured toy balloon and wondered if I'd ever he like I used to be. How's teaching?” called a voice, to which 1 quickly answered. “It’s the life. Almera Anderson.
