When I was in HS, in Brooklyn, if I wanted cafeteria lunch it came out of my allowance.

We had an award winning basketball team as well, none of them were on scholarship, as it was a totally academic school and still ranks in the top 100 college prep high schools in the nation when all are considered and in the top 10 in New York.

I’m class of ‘78 and tuition was $660 a year ($60 a month) now tuition is $9,500 ($950 a month) and yes, there are scholarships now because they still want the best, even if they can’t afford it.

I was a freshman in HS when we had the First Earth Day,

Of course I was too stupid to comprehend what it meant.

Back in the 70's we all got used and manipulated.

I still occasionally get pissed off about this.
