Just a mad, gay, 'the Great Gatsby sort of thing. You know what I mean. You've been through it. Loitering by the pool with an extra -dry martini •and the golden girls undulating past with so little on that Yow' eyeballs pop out and s Minter your sun glasses. Enchanting evenings on the beach, waves lapping, the fire glowing embers, and just the twenty-four of you. Night, and mystery, and romance. (By the way, did you ever try to glow an eMber?) It's quite a feat. And speaking of feat, the only lapping I'veheard this summer is our a' iysmaUy stupid cat lapping the sweat off kny feet. He seems to like it — probably has a salt deficiency problem — and I must admit it gives me a strange, perverse thrill. Perhaps by now you realize that in my own far from subtle way, I am suggesting that we've had a bummer of a summer. a to' i Ami for a summer bummer And you are absolutely, without qualification, one hundred and twenty-four per .cent right. Oh, don't think it's been a complete waste of time. We've aged two years in two, months, which i5 quite a feat. There's that word again. Feet? We haven't just been lying around, watching the grass grow. This would, in any case, be dif- ficult, since it does not grow after about the 20th of June. But the dandelions are pretty, though short-lived, and the wild clover has a certain charm. No, we've been quite active socially.. It all started after Commencement, last June. One of the teachers had a party. Teachers, after Commence- ment, are somewhat similar to Magellan's sailors, who, after battling six months to round Cape Horn, find themselves a Pacific Ocean and a tropical island. It was a good party, as parties go, and they go . too long. However, as we say in the game Crossroads Classifieds For Sale STEREO COMPONENT . set, tape, phono, AM FM and headphones.

I think that started the summer on the wrong foot. I seem to have a fetish about foots and feet today but don't let it bother you. Well, to get back to our swinging summer social life, it's been something. We've been to a funeral and a wedding. I've never had so much kissing in my life. While the funeral was sad, in a sense, it was also a family reunion, in another. Nephews and nieces I haven't seen in years. And four of the five Smileys all together at once, for a first time in a couple of decades.The wee Colonel was in Germany. And the wake had a good touch of Irish in it, if you follow me. And the wedding was a pretty, good shot, too, even. though we discovered the happy couple had been married several hors before due to some stupid, ridiculous statute. I gat to kite not only the bride, but her four odder sisters, all of them folrner students of mine. And their mother. Also, as it was a Ba -lull wed- , ding, quite a few of the guest ranging from suckling babe grandmothers, were turn.. students. I like to see them and talk to them._ John H. is an artist who gave me, I think, a lucid 'ex- planation of how he is trying to combine the purely visual, the abstract, and ,his own con- sciousness. John M., on the other hand, was' about to .head, for the west coast, but someone was trying to talk him into going to Germany 'instead. Margaret sang some songs that' make the ripples go up and down your spine. She has granny glasses and a great grin. Len is a grave -digger.
