In future times that history too, will be old news. It has been said that "history repeats itself." In some respect that is true, it is also true that we can learn from history if we choose to do so. In the pattern of young children, I accepted that statement at face value. History became a shunned subject, except for the required classes needed for graduation from school. Snatches of history exposure wafted in and out of my life. I started fourth grade in Payette, Idaho, where students had to purchase their texts. ���Pilots and Pathfinders��� was the history text and oddly enough I still have that book today. Attila, the Hun shares time with Jane Addams in that little volume. I suspect the desire to own books in general was the reason for keeping it, rather than a burning desire for history. The next significant exposure3 to history was in high school. Two instructors of history stand out in my mind, both were men; the first gentleman's approach to history was to make it. This he did by displaying behavior such as throwing a bucket of water on a student, (female). The second instructor lived and breathed history, particularly military history. He was no doubt very well learned in that area. He employed simulated military tactics in his class management. He often thundered out the last name of any student who he suspected was of Joan of Arc. This self-educated day dreaming.

You can imagine my disappointment when my parents said it was silly to have a graduation party, and they���d rather spend money on a wedding whenever I get married. Annie, I wasn���t asking them to spend money. I just wanted to use the hospitality of their home because my college apartment is a few hours away. I���ve worked hard for my degree, and I���m hurt by their lack of excitement. I want to share my happiness. I don���t need gifts.
