Escaping the Entanglements of our lives

section 7

Dolphus

Ms. Magazine is not in the mood to teach when she reaches the school. While she prepares to read the mail from her faculty mail box, it all falls to the floor, and as she gathers it up, Mr. Lowtower appears. As a jokes she invites him to tell her what is in the mail. It is mostly monthly reminders. The only new information concerns a school board ruling forbidding boys from wearing shoulder length hair.  The idea of the boys at Lincoln, causes Ms. Magazine to laugh out loud. Mr. Lowtower stares at her indigently,  questions her laughter  and hints that is racial. Ms. Magazine reminds him that there aren't any white males students at Lincoln; and therefore, the ruling would appear not to apply to the male students there. 
Mr. Lowtower storms away, slamming the door behind himself.
