ELAINE STONER BREAK A LEG Eyes, ears, and hands were all the basic tools needed in Elaine Stoner's classes. Eyes were for reading, ears for listening and hands for writing or working with communications equipment.

Reading was the key in classes such as Reading Appreciation a class devoted to self-reading im- provement, and Recent Fiction, a class which read the Hobbit by J.R.R.
