"Mr. Priest" to his former
pupils, and "fat old priest" to us, Lawrence Edgar is a living
Jekyll and Hyde as ever was. During the day to see Priest sitting
quietly asleep in class you would never suspect what a demon of the
galloping dominoes he is at night in the wet canteen (OR the Hotel
London) with his eyes ablaze and a fervent prayer of "Oh dice, Daddy
needs a new pair of shoes" on his lips. A native of Hamilton,
Priest left a teaching post after ten years' experience to enlist in
the Air Force. He lists softball, hockey and reading mechanics as
his hobbies with a P.S., of sleeping, but we'll bet ten to one the
right selection is (a) sleeping, and (b) wee games of chance in the wet
canteen...any takers?
