Last Monday, April I. (the
Kernel editors birthday) "Prof"
went into his class room at the
fourth period to find nothing
but a sheet of paper, headed
"APRIL FOOL" on his desk. Under the heading was a resolution
signed by every member of his
class agreeing not to attend his
class on Monday.
Wednesday, the next meeting
day of the class, when the class
walked In with triumphant grins
on their faces, the professor
nonchalantly passed around yellow sheets of paper, a sure sign
of a quiz I
The grins disappeared,
and
all over the room could be heard
murmurs of "he can't take it,"
"can't take a Joke," and many
other such epithets. Many were
thinking of what they would do
to the guy who had thought up
the idea of cutting the class.
The professor placed one question on the board and announced they would have 13 minutes
to answer the question, which
was a general
question
and
would have taken more than
that time if answered properly.
At the end of time, "Prof"
showed them how to fold the
papers and then calmly told
them to tear the papers up.
