ONE HEN, TWO DUCKS, THREE SQWAKING GEESE

In high school, our advanced placement English teacher was Mr.  H. He was married to our freshman chorus teacher, Mrs. H.

One day we began to whine and say,"That's not fair!" We did this because Mr. H had just announced that we were having a pop quiz.

And as we continued to whine and fuss, he said, "Life is not fair!"

And then we played a memory game. 

Mr H said to the first student in our quarter classroom of the new theater in the round faciIity in the new English/History wing.

The memory game goes like this -
