School Story:

Our favorite teacher was Ms. Gloria Joyce Bibee. One night a bunch of us drove over to West U and wrapped her house. Her brother was in the living room watching TV the whole time. We waited, hiding in the bushes until she came home. She just stood looking at the trees and Monday she never said a word to the class. Back then, it was in our minds, an honor bestowed upon some one we respected.
