When I was a girl, I loved it when filmstrips were shown at school, in chapel, or Sunday School. If the filmstrip had a record to go with it, I thought it was the height of technology. I can still hear the ding to alert the teacher to advance the filmstrip to the next frame. When I was a schoolteacher, we didn’t have projectors with a record player but rather a cassette tape player attached. Now, of course, we have DVDs and You Tube and PowerPoint to use in the classroom. But, you know, PowerPoint slides really aren’t that far removed from those old filmstrips.
The first week back to campus after the summer break is always an adventure and it is even more so at the local community college where I take my fashion design sewing classes and my husband teaches. Aside from the terribly lost freshmen trying to find their classrooms, traffic is snarled around campus because everyone actually is going to class and parking is at a premium. The smart students are the ones who ride their bikes to campus. There are plenty of racks and poles where they can park their bikes. Unfortunately, some of the bike riders have a tendency to engage in behaviors found in this filmstrip from 1958.
As you listen to the dialogue, pay attention to the rhyming scheme.
