Leah Francis : Finding the Way contents

High School

Getting there: politics. "I don't think it will work". Lunch, get lunch money: no responsibility. Music—not good enough. Sleep in history. Lost style. Scared to ask or tell. Maureen and June. Things other girls remember, teachers' misgivings. Miss Collins and the French text. Miss Taylor "don't laugh unless she does." Tipping desk up and knocking frame off. Blushed but no apology. Unexpurgated Shakespeare. Comfort when reading aloud. Geography student teacher made simple plasticine map.
