You describe that episode with Henry so nicely. I almost feel as if I were there with you being lectured to by Bugs Bunny. Funny that you should mention toads. It was the first school meeting on the first day of summer school, and Joe had already worked himself into a lather. Suddenly, in the middle of the meeting, Joe goes silent, as this guy meekly enters the auditorium. Joe thunders, "Why are you late?," and this guy mumbles something about having seen a three-eyed toad! Ben Hall and I had to hold on to our seats. It was all we could do to keep from rolling on the floor with laughter.

The picture on the blotter was a three eyed toad.

I did not know I had to be anywhere. I heard about dinner, but concidering my frame of mind eating was not on the top of my list. I really loved watching the middle of the carlson bridge go up and down. I had to watch it a couple for time before I realized it was really happening. I got board walking around Bath and decided to head back to school. I really did see the toad with all three eyes. It was after the meeting that I got the lecture from Henry.

I should have led you by the hand back to campus. I wasn't being a good brother's keeper. Brother's keeper! "Big brother's keeper" they should call it.

One the first day of the regular year a hash pipe and stuff to fill it was found in my room. We had a monkey trial at the Bath ST house. Matt Frankel and Jim Kimball leadership seniors, gave me the choice of either admitting it was mine or telling them whose it was. I knew it was my roomate's ( the brother of a current Hyde BoG). I refused to name names and I refused to fall on a sword that was not mine. I told them I knew who's it was and that I was not going to tell them.
That was one of my character building lessons at hyde. People with petty power can be arbitary and capricious. They must be resisted.

But Emil, did they leave it at that? Hyde usually doesn't let something like that go. Now what they would do is to call a big school meeting or bust and everyone would be punished at the school until someone fessed up.[/quote]
Sorry the quotes are screwed up

I am glad you asked that question.
Going back to the experiance I had with Mike and the confrontation that took place after ......
Henry Milton confronted me after the school meeting. Henry told me "I am going to teach you responsiblity. I want you here (the student union) at 6:30 in the morning. You are going on work crew." The next day I show up promptly at the appointed time. No Henry. A couple of days later I walk past a group of student doing work crew ( current refered to a 2/24 or 2 4 I believe) Henry was supervising. "Hey ****** I thought I told you you were on work crew" said Henry. I looked at him and said "you told me to show up the next morning at 6:30. I did. I waited for you and you were not there. I think if you are going to teach me resposiblity you should show up when you say you are going to" Henry looked down at his shoes, trying to come up with a retort. He said something that was pretty weak, and let me go.
Matt and Jim sent me to Henry. I told Henry what I told Matt and Jim. He let me go. Nothing ever came of it. I was never on work crew at Hyde. It was like I had a special power over Henry, a permanet get out of jail free card because I busted him. Pretty weird. Perhaps he was looking for a certain type of reaction, that was part his positive feedback from being the Dean of Students. Others have noted that he was posible a sadist. I know he had his hooks into a couple of kids that he just never let up on. Not me.
