One of the funniest things Margaret and I did was switch classes on April Fool's Day. Margaret studied Spanish and I studied French. As my class came out of the language lab, her class went in and we took each other's places in the other's class. We were both scared to death, but somehow we kept a low profile until it was all over and we had to tell. The teachers had no idea what all the snickering in their classes was about, but thought it was hilarious when they finally figured it out. What a great day!!
