THE THIRD WAVE

Ron Jones (1972)
 
For years I kept a strange secret. I shared this silence with two
hundred 
students. Yesterday I ran into one of those students. For a brief moment
it 
all rushed back.

Steve Conigio had been a sophomore student in my World History class. We
ran 
into each other quite by accident. It's one of those occasions
experienced 
by teachers when they least expect. You're walking down the street,
eating 
at a secluded restaurant, or buying some underwear when all of a sudden
an 
ex-student pops up to say hello. In this case it was Steve running down
the 
street shouting "Mr. Jones, Mr. Jones." In an embarrassed hug we greet.
I 
had to stop for a minute to remember. Who is this young man hugging me?
He 
calls me Mr. Jones. Must be a former student. What's his name? In the
split 
second of my race back in time Steve sensed my questioning and backed
up. 
Then smiled, and slowly raised a hand in a cupped position. My God He's
a 
member of the Third Wave. It's Steve, Steve Conigio. He sat in the
second 
row. He was a sensitive and bright student. Played guitar and enjoyed
drama.
 
We just stood there exchanging smiles when without a conscious command I

raised my hand in curved position. The salute was give. Two comrades had
met 
long after the war. The Third Wave was still alive. "Mr. Jones do you 
remember the Third Wave?" I sure do, it was one of the most frightening 
events I ever experienced In the classroom. It was also the genesis of a

secret that I and two hundred students would sadly share for the rest of
our 
lives ... (for full text
