Classmates

My name is Alice Smith and I was sitting in the waiting room for my first appointment with a new dentist. I noticed his DDS diploma, which bore his full name.

Suddenly, I remembered a tall, handsome, dark-haired boy with the same name had been in my high school class some 30-odd years ago. Could he be the same guy that I had a secret crush on, way back then?

Upon seeing him, however, I quickly discarded any such thought. This balding, grey-haired man with the deeply lined face was way too old to have been my classmate.

After he examined my teeth, I asked him if he had attended Morgan Park High School .

'Yes, yes, I did,' he gleamed with pride.

'When did you graduate?' I asked.

He answered, 'in 1967. Why do you ask?'

'You were in my class!', I exclaimed.

He looked at me closely. Then he asked: 'What subject did you teach?'
