Not at all uncommon in upper division high school. It always has gone on. One of my father’s relatives married the school teacher as soon as he was legally able. He was 16 and she something like 21, a graduate of a two year state normal school. lots of angry gossip but it was perfectly legal. Te couple settled down on a fair piece of the family farm, built a house and raised corn and a houseful of children. Very happy couple who lived long.
Was it Newt Gingrich???
