the teacher. One of those beige colored things that stood about 4' high.
Sure, there was the odd kid who got overheated but s/he go to have
those water soaked brown paper towels placed on their forehead and
were allowed to lay down while the rest of us endured the lessons.
Of course, those were the daze of rational thinking. School didn't start
until after Labor Day and we were out by the middle of May. About the
only thing I remember was wanting water after recess, which we were
given plenty.
