“Allo?”
“Ici Paul est-ce que Bregette
Bardot est la.”
And so went the first room-to-
room conversation on a tele
phone set loaned to French
classes by Pacific Northwest
Bell.
“Our first adventure in team
teaching was hilarious,” com-
mented Anna Tempest, French
teacher, “and it was a great deal
of fun!”
Students were able to practice
conversational French for part
of the day on phones complete
with dials and receivers. Cords
stretched between rooms 133 and
137.
“Very interesting,” ventured
Mary Bray. “I never thought I’d
see the day when teenagers
would be reluctant to talk on the
phone!”
Because an amplifier was used,
students were able to hear each
conversation and, according to
Mrs. Tempest, the day resulted

“It’s terrific! I’ve never seen a

While I was in Seattle, people
told me that Grant was the

I couldn’t believe it. I’m con

was true.” This was the reaction
of Robert Fair, math teacher. He

ming, bicycling, and the theatre

About Grant he says, “Some
things age and get better; Grant
fits into this pattern. It was an
excellent school when I went to
it, and it is even better now!”
