“Eleven Typers Typing”

…yes there were eleven of us in typing class at Chaminade-Julienne High School that year.  Mrs. Beehive was our instructor.  Or, at least her hair looked that way.  She made us feel like Jack Nicholson in The Shining.  “All work and no play make Jack a dull boy…”  but instead, we typed and typed:

The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs.

The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs.

The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs.

The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs.

The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs.

The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs.

The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs.

The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs.

(Pictured above is my typewriter now….  I keep trying to plug it into the internet somehow….)
