SUGAR
AND SPICE
by Bill Smiley
Times have changed
I wonder what a teacher ,of
50 years ago would think if he
walked into 'a classroom today?
• .Personally, I 'think he'd be tot-
•.• ed off in. a state of deep shock.
Some aspects of the atmos-
phere would ,be familiar: the
box -like, claustrophobic con-
• struction; ' the smell of chalk -
dust and bodies; the windows
' that stick and won't open; the
• scu. . ••
• And the place. would be full
of kids, of course. They'd Prob-
ably be much the same, inside.-
. Human' beings don't change
their basic .• emotions, their
hates, • feats, shyness and.
• aggressiveness, in a generation
• or two if ever. But,.they
tainly wouldn't leek the same..
• The appearance of the'boys
would rattle him a bit, with
their. cowboy booth, their pol-
ka-dot shirts, •their carefully.
• waved - hair, and their world-
weary expressions.
But the sight of the girls
• would rock him ,right back on• ,
his heels. Never mind the lip-
stick, eye -shadow • and net
stockings. He'd prObably turn
.pure -puce the' first time he
looked 'down , those rows of
•miniskirts, with the odd garter
r , belt, in all its feminine leveli-
• ness', showing here and there.
