This Clonal -it of suspense adds
a great deal to the game, giving
it a distinct flavor of that old
parlor pastime, Russian Roul-
ette. ,It has one of two results.
Either it' liffiSireT the student -
teacher with unwarranted self-
confidence, or it marks him for,
life.
So you get OP 'there in front
of' the class, lesson notes flutter-
ing hysterically in your hand,
sweat running down your spine.
A strange, trembling voice tells
the class to turn to page ele-
venty-seven. You open yourt
mouth again to begin teaching,i
and your mind goes stark;star-
ing blank.
The studen ts* observe you with
the bold intcre:-,t of sharks about
to d 'ind whale. Your
fellow student-teac ers 'watch
with aching ' sympathy. Your
critic teacher eyes you with a
fine blend of impatience and
disgust. All you need is a?hair
in one hand and a whip n the
other, and you'd feel like -an

first trip inside the big 'cage.
As you 'go through the lesson
with all the enthusiasm and
spontaneity of a zombie, your
inner mind churns: "What am Year

talked me into it. Who can
