teaching English tins September for the last time because September the golden The students are bored after a long summer of working or looking for work and are lively excited keen as they pack into the classrooms exchanging wild anecdotes about their summer adven tures back into some sort of structured life after goofing around aimlessly in terested in new new boys new teachers Teachers too head Into September with a new spirit their minds restless their bodies fit their idealism about teaching renewed They are full of new plans for exciting courses reinvested with dedication and ready to man the barri cades with enthusiasm Back in the ponds of their minds of course the experienced teachers know that long cold deadly January and February tie ahead complete with the flu the snow apathetic students irritating administrators personality clashes with their peers and all the detritus of the second term But In September they dose that nightmare Just as we all ignore such things as cancer heart attacks and death until we are into them We feel a proper rectitude and joke about it concerning our social role in taking off the hands of their mothers those bored whining teenagers who have been driving their parents crazy In the last few weeks of summer slaying out too late getting into minor scrapes wanting things their folks cant afford and perpetually claiming What is there to do

tbe trees new new hopes new friendships Football practices starting Cheerleaders being chosen Golf course beckoning after school Everybody tan ned freckled friendly And best of all meetings Staff meetings department depart ment heads meetings meetings to establish committees to accomplish this or that all forgotten by next March Theres a wonderful atmosphere at these meetings Theyre full of wit and thrust repartee and aphorism as though they had been written by Oscar Wilde or GB Shaw Or Edgar Guest Or Ann Landers Nobody in his her right mind would miss one of these meetings on a golden September afternoon the conversation sparkling like 111 miss scaring the senior grades with horror stories about the amount of reading decenUy rUeveamktfu months Some of them turn with fear who keep you on your toes bin Most Just roll their eyes eye waiting for then- next em Job fckei toS fl yean J to and especially tbe table where the motto Is to reverse an old ethic whether you win or lose who
