Saturday Night Study
Okay…well since the statute of limitations is now up……as we all know Saturday night study as still supposed to be reading for a class assignment only…no outside reading…..well I had come across The Cross & The Switchblade and did not want to stop reading….Larry Becker sat beside me. and Pere Burns wan monitoring that night. Well, it just so happened that the book was the same size as our latin dictionary so I took the cover off the Latin dictionary and taped it to the cover, Larry thought I was nuts and would get caught or that I should at leas put it away when Pere Burns came through, but I didn’t. I had my Latin book open on my desk with about 1/2 page of translation homework done when Pere Burns stopped at my desk and cleared his throat….I looked up and he nodded to the book which was not on the desk, but sort of just below my desk….I held up the cover for him to see and it was my Latin dictionary..he nodded okay and moved on…..finished the book that night and then retaped toe cover to my dictionary…..not really much now, but a victory over the system back then…
