Lesson Plan2011

Richard Schloss:
My name is Rick Schloss, I was a senior at Cubberly High School in 1967. It was between classes and I'm walking down this hallway, and at this point I encounter a table like this, where there are two guys standing behind it, there is a banner on the wall, and the banner says 'The 3rd Wave', underneath 'The 3rd Wave' it said 'Strength through unity'. At this point, one of the guys comes around the table and asks if I'd like to join the Third Wave. Never heard of it before, don't have a clue what it's about, and when I asked him what it was he said 'Strength through unity'. That's all he could tell me. I asked him again 'So what do you stand for?', the other guy chimes in 'Strength through unity', they constantly repeated this mantra without really telling me what this was about. At this point I decided 'No, I'm not interested, I'm gonna walk away' and as I start to take a step away, one of the guys walks around the corner, produces a small spiral wound binder, and a pencil, and what he's going to do is he wants my name. I refused to give him my name. The other guy started to move over like it was going actually to be confrontational. At that time I was getting ready to go to battle. It looked like it was going to be a fist fight right here in the hallway.
