I graduated from Oxon Hill High in 1973. I would guess that you were in about the same class from Friendly. Did you know Bob Krewson? I think he was Friendly class of 74 or 75. We were roommates in Ct. in the 80s.
They demolished my house on Oxon Hill Rd. for the Gaylords development but ended up not using it. My dad played a major role in GPS. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_L._Easton
I graduated in `72. Sorry, the name doesn’t ring a bell. Recall that seniors got big yearbook photos while sophomores (it was 10-12 there, unlike here in IN, 9-12) were just ... underfoot.
Did they do the donkey basketball games while you were there at Oxon Hill? I enjoyed that a lot. They put rubber shoes on their hooves, teachers played students. (On the donkeys hooves, that is.)
After my father’s second all expense paid vacation in sunny, exotic Vietnam we were transferred to Kansas, he went to the CGSC at Ft. Leavenworth and retired in Manhattan, KS (K-state) so my bro’ and sisters and I could all get more edjumicachun.
I’ll have to buy a Tom-Tom or whatever it’s called. I’ve put it off, mebbe cause like most guys I don’t like asking for directions, even from machines!
Yeah, that’s too bad about PG county. Walking through the school I was surprised at how rundown it was: stained ceiling tiles, cracked floor tiles, kids loitering in the halls while classes were being held. And the fact that they needed day care/a nursery for students’ children was a jaw dropper.
The racial per centage flipped. It was about, I’m just guessing, a few black kids out of a hundred when I was there, and the opposite 25 years later.
They had good football teams though, and named the field after coaches Crawford and Kanode. Enough of this wool gathering.
Again sorry I didn’t know your bud. Friendly was a big box school and operating pretty much at capacity when I re-visited. Take care, td
