School Story:

Often Miss Romano (Math teacher grades 11 and 12) would make me take out my chewing gum and place it on my nose and stick a piece of paper onto the gum for the remainder of the class period.

Does anyone remember attending a Friday night dance in our gym and when the first song you danced to stopped, a radio commercial came on and this sequence repeated itself throughout the evening??? Well, I was asked by a classmate to tape record an evening of dance music for the upcoming Friday dance. I was very busy with a home project when I started the record mode and when I had finished filling the tape with music , I gave it to that person. I did not attend the dance and the next morning I received a very vocal phone call from the DJ. OPPS I forgot to edit the commercials out of the recording. I finally have this chance to apologize to all of my classmates. SORRY

Not Attending Reunion
