| I
remember... |
| ..."Bachelor
Survival" class senior year; I think we created the thickest pizza
known to man; One day the Home Ec teacher (can't remember her name,
help me out girls) created a Baked Alaska dessert one day and Dave
Domian decided that it would look better as a smashed dessert creation;
I was washing dishes in the class one day (I think there is a picture
of this in our senior yearbook in the mix of campus photos within)
and I grabbed the dish sprayer from the sink, aimed it out the window
and shot a stream of water into the window of the class in session
across the breezeway. I was aiming at Steve Kroeger, but it missed
him and hit a few other people instead. |
| …Art Class;
I spent Junior and Senior year in Art class with Danette Boelloeni.
She would ask me many mornings to pull down the legs of her bell
bottoms to insure that they were as long as they could possibly
be. That procedure also helped Otto Sankey keep the floors clean. |

 |
| I
remember... |
| ...water-ballooning
cars with Brad and others and accidentally landing one on a police
car. |
| …Marianne Scholin
and Jan Cady talking me into performing "Love Is Like a Cigarette"
with them at the Variety Show. |
| …our Senior
Sandbag Prank - Still Unmatched. |
| ….going to
the Drive-In with The Girls and our cherry cigars. |
| …when I brought
the Bag-Full-of-Laughs (a battery-powered box that laughed hysterically
when activated) to school and SEDOVIC turned it on and put it under
my seat, consequently sending me to Mr. Shelton who had a really
hard time keeping a straight face while punishing me. |
|
 |
| I
remember... |
| ...Lucy Mues
came back from the restroom with a foot-long piece of toilet paper
stuck to her shoe and walked up the aisle to Mrs. Schnedler's desk
while everyone laughed. |
| ...Mrs. Block's
5th Hour History Class collected money to send to the starving children
in Biafra and our picture was in the local paper. |
| ...Annette
Gerwitz's finger got run over by the sewing machine needle in home
ec. |
| ...This one's
embarrassing....when my garter belt broke (pre-pantyhose days) and
my nylons and the garter belt fell down my legs while I was walking
down the hall in Jr. High. |
| ...when Renee'
Bonnett made me laugh 'til I cried when I was supposed to be giving
a speech in Mrs. Shelton's class. |
| …when Renee'
and I left a picnic basket on Bruce Logan's porch so he'd have to
bring it on the bus for our Russian skit. |
|
 |
| I
remember... |
| ...Don Casey's
6 a.m. swim practice and subsequently sitting in class the rest
of the day reeking of chlorine with bloodshot eyes. |
| ...taking typing
class because it was an easy grade, never realizing that it would
be one of the most valuable things learned at Affton...A A A space
S S S space F F F - remember the training records? |
| ...the great
Homecoming bonfires. |
| ...necking
in the hall ... a favorite pastime... |
|
 |
| I
remember... |
| ...how Al Ulsas
taught Mr. Peck and the rest of the class how shadows are larger
than life when standing between a sunlit window and an overhead
projection screen. Al was ultimately sent to the Principal's office.
I've always wondered how Mr. Peck kept from laughing. |
| ...decorating
the gym and attending the Sadie Hawkins Dance. (I still have the
record (After the Goldrush) and the "Boot" bouquet.) |
