Delaney

Since the virus has changed the way we have school and meetings, I began to remember the way it was when I was young. Who remembers the Delaney book and Delaney cards? On the first day of school, seats were assigned and the teacher would bring out a large book. The book had rows and slots. There would be a card with each child's name on it. The teacher would slide the card into the row that the child was sitting in. That is how she identified you until she knew all of the names. That was also the attendance book. It was so simple but so orderly. Now people appear in a box on a screen.
