Lots of memories from Mrs. Craighead's little store across from the school. Most seem to be of Seniors picking on the "Fish" and making them do all kinds of "task" while out of view of the teachers. Plotting with the other kids on the school bus to all "shift the weight" while going around a muddy corner causing I.D. Hogan to loose control and get stuck in the ditch, thus delaying our arrival at school...would kids these days think of stuff like that?
