Most of these articles went back over twelve years ago when I was teaching college. The following one seems appropri ate to share with you as we reflect upon another year. “Once upon a time the animals of Careyland Forest decided they must combine their efforts to meet the prob lems of ‘a new world.’ Better education was felt to be the answer. So they elected a school board consisting of a bear, a badger and a beaver. The school board, in turn, hired a porcupine as the prin cipal; competent instructors were hired in all subjects. “The curriculum consisted of running, climbing, swim ming and flying. To make it easier to admii;ister, all the animals took aU the subjects. “The duck was excellent in swimming, but he made only passing grades in flying and was very poor in running. Since he was so slow in run ning, he had to stay after school to practice. This was kept up until his web feet were badly worn, and he was only average in swimming. “The squirrel was excellent in climbing until he developed frustration in the flying class where his teacher made him start from the ground up in stead of the treetop down. He then developed a pulled mus cle from the exertion. He ended the year with a C in climbing and a D in running. “The eagle was a problem child and often had to be disciplined. In the cUmbing class, for example, he beat all the others to the treetop; however, he insisted on using his own way to get there. “The rabbit began the year 15151515151S15151515151S1515M515151S1515151515M51515M5151S151SE15M515M515M515M^ r I S/*'rUiuiue& DIRECT IMPORTERS of FRENCH and ENGLISH FINE FURNITURE and ACCESSORIES of the 18th and EARLY 19th CENTURIES Visit Our New Location w/new selection of fine antiques and accessories just imported from England and France at the top of the class in run ning. But he had a nervous bre£ikdown because of so much frustration in swimming. “At the end of the year, an abnormal eel that could swim exceedingly well, could also run and fly a little, had the highest average. He was elected valedictorian. “The next year the prairie dogs boycotted the school. They fought the tax levy because the administration would not add digging and burrowing to the curriculum. They apprenticed their children to a badger and later joined the groundhogs to start a successful private school. “It wasn’t too many years after that the animals of Careyland Forest decided to close their school. Combining efforts had proven to be not so successful after all.” Imperial printing products Specialists In Raised Printing Stationery — Business Cards Wedding — Bar Mitzvah Invitations Business & Social Announcements 4731 Sweden Road Charlotte, N. 0.28210 Stuart Cojac /"Mdi 554-1188 President Sl5ilSjl515lSlHlkllSM5Unl5M5lSISlSlSlSl5M5M51S1515l5l5l5UoMSl5M5M312 For advertising call 366-9715 or 366-6632 Bill Grlfenhagen Suite 100,900 Baxter Street Chariotte, NC 28204 377-6730 (O) 364-1804 (H) Specializing in insurance planning for family financial security and ei^tate analysis.
