By the time you are reading this, I shall have had to write the column for the next issue, so there won't be time for all of you to seize pen in hand and dash off a long, newsy and entertaining note for immediate publication. I'll use those for the January issue. I assume, however, that I'll continue to have the usual paucity of news a month from now. I don't see how I can repeat this historical approach again and still be original, so I'll just get off something that might be called "Burbling from a Bureaucrat" or maybe "Facing Fatherhood Fearlessly." As you have learned, I am never at a loss for words of my own. If I weren't supposed to, be dishing out words submitted by our classmates, I could go on and on with personal ramblings until a collection of the notes could be published under the Adamsian title of "The Education of a Class Secretary." Anyone who would prefer a tome properly called "The Education of a Class," however, may contribute to that end with a nice long letter modeled on the one I wrote, for the benefit of the ignorant, in last June's issue. If this doesn't work, I'll draw on my last resort: I'll make up news about you and then print the corrections in an issue two months later. Like this: "I erred a couple of issues ago when I reported that Joe Blow had been married in November and became the proud father of Elinor Ronile on his wedding day. It seems it was Elinor that he married, and he and Elinor already had a son nine and a daughter seven. Jane was born on their wedding anniversary, which can be called their wedding day in some contexts." Verb sap.
