From where I sit ... li Joe Marsh
Now I'm Going Back
To High School 1
When I saw lights burning in the
High School auditorium last night,
I looked in to sec what went on.
About twenty people were listen
ing to Buzz Ellis, the electrician,
talk about television.
I slipped into a back seat am
asked Hap Thomas what was up.
Hap told me it was the new Self
Improvement Club. I stayed to lis
ter, and learned a lot Buzz really
knows his stuff.
Turns out this club meets every
Friday night. Each member gives
a talk on the subject he knows most
about. I joined on the spoWbecause
learning new things is one of my
favorite hobbies.
From where I sit, it's willingness'
to learn from the other person that
makes Americans tolerant towards
so msny different viewpoints and
tastes in things. Just because Buzz
Ellis goes for chocolate malteds,
while I prefer a mellow glass of
beer, doesn't mean I'm right and
he's wrong. Incidentally, next week
I'm going to talk on how to run
newspaper.
