N X l 0 O 1 f X A Maybe you played hooky in the spring IVA DUDEN Commercial EARL ECKENROD Mathematics When you were just about through with school, may- be you regretted this. The faculty seemed a bit more real. You wanted to know them. But somehow the situation never arose for you to know them better. You had no hope of understanding them, oh, no. You just wanted to know them better. Time had slid by for so long, it couldn't help but slip by you then. It was a procrastination of some sort, but you felt you were so busy, it couldn't be helpedg that didn't help. You were still uneasy. Stiff and starchy you sat in your classes as the moments fled by. You sguirmed and wondered who is this person that is teaching me? Do I know him? Is he like me, his mind in fragments: only knowing snatches? These fragments bothered you: you felt you should have a whole picture, but you didn't. Then it was painful not to know these people. You were awkward before them. You realized you should have a whole picture: you didn't. You tried to gain these miss- ing pieces. But you just couldn't talk IRENE EDWARDS English to them as people.

LUCIE CASE You had no hope of understanding them 'N QL ,. f You went back to school then, and there you saw your Mathematics :lassmates. But some you knew were gone. You felt strange to know that some day you wouldn't be back either. The faculty was there, and you realized it would be there after you left. They seem changeless. Maybe each year adds a little more gray to the hair, maybe there Ire a few more lines about their eyes, but they stay just about the same in your four years. Your mind is fluid, it swishes about. At times you planned to know this faculty better. Maybe your parents suggested it, or a teacher asked you to come to his room and just talk . That was fine, and you planned to do it. But time slid through your fingers. Tomorrow turned to a week. Weeks to months, you forgot. You had so much to do. No time. You said you'd do it later.
