The Last Class
(With Apologies to Emile Zola)
By RICHARD BANKS
Illustrated by ADKINS
Many years ago Emile Zola wrote a tale, by this same title, of a French schoolmaster who was forced to leave his pupils by the victorious German troops after the Franco-Prussian War. The schoolmaster's last words were: Vive la France! Miss Hippiness, in this story, had no final words. But if she had, they might have been:
"Long live the 20th Century!"
