I was wondering about Evelyn Hordatt, who brought uncommon passion to the teaching of infant methods. Does anyone know? What a fantastic teacher. She and Lance Loughiede gave demonstration lessons in the assembly hall, while we first years sat in the balcony in from of the library. Loughiede taught a lesson on Prometheus, god of fire, asking these D'Abadie children if they could see the connection between fire and learning. My god, how were we so lucky to have teachers like that? Evelyn Hordatt told us a story about how children responded to her when she asked how people called chickens. And one of the children said that he had heard the call "all yuh eh want?" And she enjoyed telling us about this and lit up in delight. I view her as an original, though not quite in the league of the Cuff.
Scratchy.
