In this blog post, Daniel Press reflects on a memorable high school English class he took in 1978, taught by a unique teacher named Dan Ward. The class was small, meeting in a smoky teacher's lounge, and focused on dystopian novels. They read works like "A Canticle for Leibowitz," "We," "Anthem," "1984," and some of Kurt Vonnegut's writings. Press shares a photo from that time, featuring a distinctive tuxedo shirt and oversized velvet bowtie, providing a visual snapshot of his high school experience.
