fessor Rindom asked the class in
which direction that the tail always
extended. No sound for a second
was heard. Finally Harley Burns
said: "Why, it is always behind"
After the laughter had subsidized,
Professor Rindom informed the
class that the answer was wrong.
Though the class seemed to think it
was surely right, he said thel tail of
comet is always toward the sun.

graded and returned. But no AS
