(“Connection with an encounter.” Jane said this is definitely a reference to her first day of teaching, October 11,1966. The object is from the paycheck for this day’s work. Jane said that although she liked teaching, the first encounter with a class is one to be remembered. She has had odd jobs teaching in the past, but never in a school system, in a formal classroom, etc.

(“A date. Perhaps 1963, and a scroll of sorts.” We believe this data goes together, although there is a date, October 27,1966, on the object. The scroll we think of as symbolic of education or school. In 1963, Jane talked to a class conducted by Mr. Clauss, at Elmira College, subject poetry. The college connection arose recently, because Jane also applied for a teaching job there, as well as in the Elmira school system.

(“A room with something missing.” Jane said this refers to the taking of attendance in class. It was stressed to her that she attend to this job above all others, she said, so she was careful about this. Since all the students were new to her each time, she had to depend on their help to keep her records straight. Sometimes she took attendance every period of the day.

(9th Question: What’s that toreador connection? “A red and violent connection. High activity connected with a male, or repressed violent tendencies, in the situation.” This is also good data, and related to the envelope object in that it refers to an event taking place in Jane’s classroom on her second day of teaching. [The object represents Jane’s first day of teaching.] Briefly, a very violent scene was enacted before Jane and her class. A male teacher entered with a young male student in tow, and literally threw the student across the classroom in a violent fit of anger. The bout resulted from the student’s misbehavior in the hall.

(11th Question: What’s the 1963 mention? “I do not know. Connection with a past incident at about that time, and a seeming connection with a 1967 incident yet to occur.” See the 1963 data on page 147. As stated the date could very well refer to the time Jane lectured a class at Elmira College on poetry. The connection would be the teaching activity as related to the envelope object.

(“February and October.” Jane thinks it quite possible she spoke to the class at Elmira College in February, 1963. There is an October date, October 27,1966, on the object itself.
