The history a. nit section
patiently awaited the arrival of
the quiz master. The usual bun
went around the room concern
ing probable test questions for
the day and note comparison.
The quic master would prob
ably come in and begin a ques
tion and answer routine, then 1
ask something far from the !
realm of the discussion for the
test.
If he would hurry, maybe the
students could be out in time
to hear the final Dodger-Giant
game. Hopefully they waited.
The door opened and young
man strode into the room with
a plastic portable radio under
his arm. He turned and ad
dressed the class.
"Well take roll and then Til
give you your test while I sit
over here in the corner and
listen to the National league
game I have a personal inter
est In this game since Fin from
Brooklyn."
True to his word, he listened !
wifh avid interest to the league's j
deciding game. Now that he's
a disappointed Dodger fan, his
students are wondering how it
will affect their test grades.
