Hey, she's passing out!
Give her air!
—Delaney cards. You are to fill them out at once while I take attendance from the Roll Book. Standees—line up in back of the room; you may lean on the wall to write. Print, in ink, your last name first, your parent's name, your date of birth, your address, my name—it's on the board—and the same upside down. I'll make out a seating plan in the Delaney Book. Any questions?
In ink or pencil?
I got no ink—can I use pencil? Who's got a pencil to loan me?
I don't remember when I was born.
Don't mind him—he's a comic.
Print or write?
When do we go to lunch?
I can't write upside down!
Ha-ha. He kills me laughing!
What do you need my address for? My father can't come.
Someone robbed my ball-point!
I can't do it—I lost my glasses.
Are these going to be our regular seats—the radiator?
I don't know my address—we're moving.
Where are you moving?
I don't know where.
Where do you live?
I don't live no place.
Any place. You, young man, why are you late?
I'm not even here. I'm in Mr. Loomis. My uncle's in this class. He forgot his lunch. Hi, Tony—catch!
Please don't throw—Yes, what is it?
This Mrs. Singer's room?
Yes. No. Not anymore.
Anyone find a sneaker from last term?
Hey, teach, can we use a pencil?
You want these filled out now?
There's chewing gum on my seat!
First name last or last name first?
I gotta have a pass to the Men's Room. I know my rights; this is a democracy, ain't it?
