sorry, forgot to ping you to #211, looks like if she was there at all it was only for two years:
NOW CHECK OUT THE TEACHERS VIDEO:

In the first one it clearly states she spent one year in Seattle and then TWO YEARS at the high school. That might have taken her to 1958.
See we are kind of getting carried away here doing exactly what the Opp Forces are trying to get us to do.
I don't think she made the Au Pair deal with zero's parents until the spring of 61; but even if we are wrong on the birth date and it is in fact the summer of 60, she still has plenty of time to have graduated from Mercer Island to do it.
The true bottom line on Mercer Island is that there is no credible proof that she graduated in 1960 under circumstances where the record is under the control of the Liberal forces that support Zero's interest--if she was really there, they could show you the record that proves it and they don't. End of story.
The two year record plus one year in Seattle would fit her having done her sophomore year at Franklin 57-58; and her junior and senior years at Mercer island in 58-59 as a junior and 59-60 as a senior.
It would also fit a scenario in which she did her Freshman year at Eckstein or Franklin; in fact was in the first group of students at Mercer Island as a sophomore; did the junior year at Mercer Island; and then graduated from a High School in Chicago in 1960 where she had been working as an Au Pair at the time the movie was released exactly as Zero has her saying.
