'No pizza!?!?! What did you guys EAT??'

A few yrs ago I told a group of college kids that I 1st had pizza my freshman yr in college (fall 1957) and that there had been no pizza places in the city where I grew up.

One young woman, who had been checking her tms, heard my statement and responded with this horrified question.

She and the others could not imagine such a pitiful, deprived existence.

Anyone remember playing jacks? We played all the time in the 50s. Do kids still play jacks?

The best ball, we thought, was a discarded golf ball.

'Die Luft der Freiheit weht' 1styr student translated:'the air of freedom hurts'

Stanford's motto is the German phrase for 'the wind of freedom is blowing.'

Wehen is infinitive for 'to blow/wave' -- weh is German for 'hurt/pain', as in es tut weh for 'it hurts'

This PAINFUL mistranslation was made in a 1st yr German class at Stanford in the early 60s.
