Schools Out for Summer

One summer school is out, I report to the next to-morrow. That is if everything is as arranged. I have lost contact with Sesame Lane School for reasons that escape me. I will travel till my return to Canada in mid-September if there is a problem. So I have said good-bye to some great students. Ellen who wrote one of the most moving letters I have ever received. Yoyo who substituted for Cinderella on short notice and came up trumps. Sophia who looked over her head in the first two weeks then blossomed near the end. Allan who acted in his first play, addressed me as professor (fortunately that evolved), starred as Robin Hood, and knew his lines virtually flawlessly. Martin who won a prize for acting and played in two plays. Fish, the water baby, who absorbed every globe and map going and surely will aspire to that noblest of professions - geographer! Sisters Grace and Helen who were staff but very, well, gracious. Mike, a Junior A, who was in my room every time I turned around. Carl who seemed lonely but also took a lot home with him from what I could tell. Square who inherited my dictionary and was full of compliments. Kelly too, the most eloquent on campus perhaps. Jasmine who did me a big favour by mapping out scene by scene stage props. Then there was Fire, Ball, Ivy, Sophia (II) each of whom deserve volumes writen about them. Lets see, Alex, Zack, Vanessa, Clare, Monica. Wow the list goes on. Alice (not Cooper) who played Della. Margaret, dear Margaret.
