It Pays to Remember Dates 111
I would suggest the use of another peg list to help you
remember these keys. All you actually need is six words,
representing the numbers 1 to 6, which will not conflict
with your basic peg list. You can use any of the lists that I
suggested in the previous chapter; the alphabet idea; ape,
bean, sea, etc., or, pencil, swan, clover, table, star, yo-yo, etc.
For zero, use "zoo" or "sue."
Since every year listed begins with 19, you don't have to
try to remember that. Just associate the peg word for the
last two digits of the year, to the word that you are using to
represent the key numbers.
For instance, the key for 1941 is 2. Associate "rod" (41)
to either "swan" or "bean," according to the list you're
using. Make your associations for all of them. Go over them
a few times, and before you know it, you'll have memorized
them all.
