                 them brim full of  judges'  gavels.  Remember, I use  a  gavel
                 to  represent  law  or  "ler." If you  want  to use policeman,
                 jail or handcuffs, go ahead. You might "see"  police brim-
                 ming  all over the dimples. Whichever way you want  to do
                 it,  is  fine;  but  look at Mr. Brimler  and see the picture
                 you've decided on.
                   No. 3 is  Miss  Standish. I would  select her  "bang"  hairdo.
                You could  "see"  people  standing on the bangs and scratch-
                ing themselves violently  because they itch.  Stand  itch—
                Standish. Of  course,  a dish standing,  would  serve  the  same
                purpose, but I  like an association  into  which  I  can inject
                some  sort  of  action.  Now look at Miss Standish and see
                the picture you've decided on, in your mind's eye.
                   No. 4 is Mr. Smolensky. Don't let the  name scare you,
                it's easy to find a substitute thought for it. I would see
                someone  skiing on Mr.  Smolensky's  very broad  nose,  and
                taking  pictures  (while skiing) with a small  camera (lens).
                Small lens  ski—Smolensky. See how  simple  it  is?  I  have
                chosen  Mr. Smolensky's broad nose; you might  think that
                the  receding  chin  is more obvious.  Choose whichever you
                think is most  obvious, and see the  picture of the  skier  taking
                pictures with a small lens.
                  No. 5 is  Mr. Hecht. I would  see his mustache being
                hacked  from his  face  with an axe. See  the association vio-
                lently if you can.  Violence  and action make it easier  to
                recall. Hacked—Hecht. Be sure you see the picture.
                  No. 6 is Mrs. Bjornsen,  pronounced, Byorn-son.  The way
               I would remember Mrs. Bjornsen  is to  see a boy  (son) being
               born  in  the very  wide part  in her  hair.  You might think
               that  either her  full cheeks or wide mouth, or  dark  eyes  are
               more  outstanding, if so, use  those in  your  association.  But
               look at  Mrs. Bjornsen and actually see  the picture  for  a
               fraction of a second.
