One worries most about the less intelligent mass. C (and a college freshman who came by to pick him up and stayed on to talk for more than an hour) said ZHS is either "a bore or a riot." Some things they could laugh about, like the ancient English teacher who falls asleep during her own lectures. Or the teacher who was so afraid to discipline and so unable to teach that they devoted every class period to seeing how much of the 'ce of the clock on the wall behind her they could cover with spitballs. They were angry when they discussed their current ac celerated civilization course teacher, a Mrs. S. They are scheduled to have current events discussions in the class, but she generally waives them in favor of continuing to read them her notes or the textbook. When they try to discuss the history topic, she never un derstands what they are talking about and closes the discussion. On her multiple choice tests, they have to pick the answer that was in the book, even if from their own outside reading of Voltaire or Rousseau they know that another or all three of the other answers is correct. Mrs. S is the typical XHS teacher, they say-typical even of the math and science teachers. They name other teachers they thought were stimulating and intelligent-not one of whom is The Edwardiani Rmart young man---he knows the easy way to per fect grooming.

Initiative-equelching is a big thing at XHS. There was the matter of C and some the boys not on the football team wanting to form a soccer club. they raised money for their own uniforms, did all their own work, and fought against the four football coaches' prejudices against soccer. In the end the club died be cause (the school principal) refused to sanction or support it. He attended only one game and his only comment to the players was that the (opposing) team said they 'looked like beatniks." (C and sme other players have goatees.) Now (the school principal) refuses to let them start a tennis team, supposedly because he Josn't want to pay a coach, but also )ecause what he calls the "beat iks" are supporting the idea. rne other initiative the students ought to take at the beginning of his school year was designed to leal somewhat with their worst roblem-the fact that they are onsiderably more intelligent and etter read than almost all of their eachers.
