COOL Bill, where the hail did you find this stuff?  I remember them from my misspent childhood!  Whenever the elementary school teacher didn't prepare or didn't feel like teaching that day, we would get to watch this clueless old guy asking questions of the smart older guy, and they would make these kinds of presentations, on that old reel to reel film using projectors that rattled so loud it was hard to hear the dialog.  
 
The real miracle is what has happened to them in 40 years.  Now they have become the smart guy and the clueless young guy.
 
Thanks for the memories.
