YOU????

2 DAYS before my graduation in 1986, we had a substitute teacher in our room who had it in for me, for a Long time. The principle was away, and so he was filling in for him, too.

I was gathering pictures for my scrapbook(which subsequently was lost forever),and I found one of a guy, showing him in a tanning bed, with the little goggles on. Now, me and this guy were not exactly friends, and he wanted the picture. I did not want to give it to him, so, he grabbed my desk, and shoved it at me. That is ALL that happened, but it was enough. Mr Alberts, the sub/principal in absentia, seized on his opportunity. I was sent home, and told that I MAY not be allowed back, the following day, and that would cause me to miss my finals, which would mean........NO GRADUATION!!!!!

Needless to say I was PEEVED!! I stomped out of the room, mumbling something about "if I am not allowed to come back over this, and miss graduation I will make some plastic and blow this whole school down"!!

The next day, I came back, the principal was there, and ALL was forgotten. I graduated on schedule, and that night, several of us went and egged the car and house of THAT teacher, and I DID participate in that one!!! Of course something like that from an 18 year old today, would be considered a terroristic threat!!

Wow.

In my high school, we were forced to have "see-through" bookbags. Bookbags had to be clear or mesh. No exceptions. That way, "they could see if you'd smuggled a weapon in via your bookbag."

It was a travesty.

He would probably kill me for telling you this, but when my Dad was in HS, he blew up the lockers with a quarter stick of dynamite.

Dang, that was one interesting story. I graduated in 1985 myself. I think you and I would be in the hoosegow in today's world between you event and me turning my school into a role playing game setting. Come to think of it, I might still have that map, I might use it for my Morrow Project game. Digressing, I think I'd have a fun time turning it into a place for Doom or Duke Nukem 3D. Wish I could port it over for Diablo 2 (another game). B-) Come to think of it, where I work at, my building would make a good one too, heck, my co-worker said it "would be a good place for a paintball battle."

OK, here is a war story from me. I had a math teacher who had to use crutches, he got to be a parapeligic from a motorcycle accident. Well, he was so crass, he even made fun of one of my classmates who was a dwarf. I had him in 11th grade. Well a couple of times, I was late for class because I had chemistry before that and we had to clean up. There was another student, a girl, in my chemistry class to where we went to the same match class afterwards. Well, we both got there during those times but he let her in but not me. The first time, I found an Apple ][+ computer and just played Star Trek since it was the last period of the day. The next time, I was so fuming, I got into my car (I drove to school) and went home to chill out. Years later, that same teacher retired, scuttlebutt has it that he truck a student and the the deal was he had to retire.
