Of course we had been in it as invited intruders for several years by that time. Some of us were bussed from Lincoln Elementary way out on the west end of Ely for gym (the teachers from outside the area called it “fizz - ed”) and swimming sessions.

Sitting at the table was Doc Snyker holding a syringe the size of a Quaker Oatmeal box at the tip of which was a water pipe cut to a taper on the business which was soon to deliver to our trembling arms a dose of the vaccination de jour at the command of Doc’s steady right thumb.
