I went to Harris Teachers College and I took every biology class. There’s only limited courses available to freshmen and sophomores, but I managed to get study halls in advanced biology courses. So I sat in vertebrate biology. It was study hall and I wasn’t supposed to participate in. But most of the students or teachers that were in the teacher’s college were women and they didn’t like dissecting cats and studying the anatomy of these vertebrate animals. So I had a chance to get up there and do the dissecting. They had big trays of wax that you took the parts, all the organs apart and the skeleton apart and then lay ’em out on this wax tray. I almost got credit for the course because the teacher kept saying, “Charlie, you’re not in this course.
