; Tne class said nothing.
The; man shuffled through
a bundle of notes," rose and
jotted down a senes of
dates- "all "over thr 'black
board;
' Then he re-seated him
self, cleared his throat, '2d
announced, "W;e'Jl have a
few questions now." Not a
student spoke " "
"First question was to
someone the class had
never ; heard of. When he
got no answer, the "strange
man looked around, smiled,
then stuttered," then half
way blushed.
"It seems I'm in the
wrong class," he spluttered.
Professor C. DeW. Eld
