a n n iNow on Monday evenings we always have choir practicewith the big choir and everybody comes. It ishighly necessary, since we only manage to sing a veryfew morning and evening songs, and those badly. Inthe coming days we’ll definitely sing a lot of Christmassongs. Mondays we are usually kept well occupied. Earlyin the day we have active games for an hour and thenget ready for Hort until noon. From 2:00 until 6:30 isHort. At 6:30 there is a news report and then a lecture onlocal history and geography, that is, one of the studentstells about her home town and shows slides of it. Thenthere is a stand-up supper, which is a new invention fordays like this. We all go into the big hall, where a table isset with platters of sandwiches and pots of tea. Everyonehelps themselves, then strolls here and there with theirsupper until they have had enough and nothing more isleft. Of course this goes a lot faster than in the diningroom. At 8:00 we have choir until 9:30. Of course notall days are packed this full, but sometimes it’s fun to gofrom one thing to another.Yesterday evening we had to go to Stecklenberg, atiny village a good hour from Thale. There is an administrativecenter for youth homes, and they were havinga conference for youth directors and other members ofyouth organizations. It was the last evening and we fromthe college were supposed to present a play that we hadgiven there three weeks earlier. It was a comedy calledThe Bear Knight. But the people were so stupid thatthey didn’t laugh once. In any case we did not performtoo gloriously, although it was dutifully applauded68
