Dispensed by Smiley No matter how busy the sum- mer has been, each year the wildly accelerating pace of life in autumn comes as a jolt.One is not eased, but hurled, back into the rat-race. First shook, akin to diving off an ice-floe in the vicinity of Greenland, is the re-opening of school. It's exciting for the kids, exhausting for parents, and pure chaos for the teacher. One day it's Labor Day. Calm, competent, relaxed, the teachLr potters about the long, silent, fresh-waxed halls of the school, picking up his mail and planning an afternoon round of golf. The next day, he is just an- other ant in an anthill. He is buffeted in the halls by a mael- strom of students. He frantically makes class lists, sells padlocks, fills out forms. He directs weep- ing grade-niners who are lost, pr can't remember the combin- ation of their lockers. lie com- forts near-weeping new teachers who don't know what to do, nor why, nor where, nor when. Just to add to the general jol- lity this fall at our school, we went on a double shift. Our team commences classes at 8 a.m. This means hitting the deck at 6:30 or earlier. Pull a teenager out of bed at 6:30 and you have a surly teenager. Pull a teacher out of bed ditto and you have a ditto teacher. It's bad enough these fine autumn mornings, but there'll be murder done by mid- winter. But school is only part of au- tumn's rude awakening. There is the despair that strikes when you read a list of the "new" television shows and discover that not a single tree or shrub has been plented in the wasteland of last year's TV. Bills sprout like thistles in autumn. There's the remains of last winter's fuel bill, with "PLEASE" typed in red. There's the notice of the mort- gage payment. There's the one, entitled "Last warning," from the guy who sodded the bald spot on your lawn last June. There's the first instalment of music lessons. There's the note from your friendly bank manager. And this fall the thistles are longer and sharper than ever around our place, with a kid heading for university. We figur- ed out that he will need approx- imately as much money this year as my old man used to raise a family of five on. Hugh's idea of helping out with finances was to take off in mid-September with my beet jacket, all my sox with- out holes, and every shirt of mine without frayed cuffs—both of them. Meetings. galore. There's the notice of the cursing club meet- ing, at which "We will diecuss the advisability pf raising the tees." They were raised. There's the notice from the Library Board for the first fall meeting, at which the property committee (guess who's chairman) will pre- sent Its report. There's a re- minder that the speech I offered to make, last June, will be pre- sented in 10 days. There's the memo about the staff meeting at 7 a.m. There's the advice that MY resignation as teacher of the Bible Class has been ignored, and classes commence on een- day. In between, the lawn has grown four inches, the hedge looks like a beetnik and the leaves are falling. The squirrels are back In the attic, the garage is still half-painted, and my daughter, in a month at camp, has busted put of all her clothes. Oh well, "Life is the life," as Kim once remarked sagely, age six. There have been a couple of bright spots. I have a new Eng- lish teacher on my crew who would have given Cleopatra a run for Mark Antony. And there was the Old Fighter Pilots' reunion in mid-Septem- ber. They tried to ruin it this year by having wives along. But most of the boys ignored this and turned up stag. And those who didn't were wishing they had!
