"Still the same old place." my old

He chuckled to himself, as if my
growing up were the oldest event ne
had ever encountered.
"And to think that you write for the
papers. Well! WE'LL"
He seemed to forgive me everything
else, my college education my dabblings
in poetry, all but the black arts of jour
nalism
We were by this time at the door of
my old grammar teacher, Miss Laur-
ence, who even back in my day seemed
to have discovered the elixir Of eternal
age.
She'll be delighted to see you, espe-
cially as grammar is right in your pro-
fession."

put it to the class, what did they think
of a boy who couldn't remember even

speech to us, we used to be just as fab

much.

good deal in all these years; he would
never see through the scars of wicked
ness and worldly wisdom my four years
at the university had indelibly i'm
pressed upon me, the innocent boy who
had once been his pride. Come to think
OF it, he had never known me really
well, though he had once given me a
pass to go home early, the day my
mother took me to the Eden Musee.
The subway seemed pretty shabby
way to return in glory, and | thought
for a moment of hiring taxi from the
station nearest the school. But, then,
to do the right thing, I'd have to Dor
row high hat, and it was too late to
find out which of my friends owned one.
I'd better take chance on his not rec
ognizing me. All I'd have to do would
be to use shall" and will incorrectly
and he'd never suspect was a gradu-
ate.
On arriving at the Teachers and Wis
itors' Entrance of the school | hesitated
in sheer fright. If had come in taxi
| would have had some moral courage,
but it seemed defiance of the gods to
walk right off the street up the main
entrance. They used to keep you IN
late if you did that, and | thought I'd
better run around to the Grammar
Stairs for Boys.
Finally, ! remembered that | was an
experienced interviewer, not a school
boy, and walked boldly up the front
stairs. A young teacher, new since my
time, glared at me suspiciously. l put
my hand in my pocket for pass-the
year had my tonsils removed | had a
pass for the front stairs-and blushed
furiously when | couldn't find it. But
the little teacher passed without even
challenging me.
When l got to the principals office |
tried to appear as bold and callous a
Journalist as could-like a war CORE
spondent, for instance. There was the
same old line as before. waiting for
passes to go home early; could almost
recognize some of the faces, probably
sons of my old classmates, although it
seemed few years too early for that
