PE memories. Anyone have Mrs. Martin for PE. She would always make us run laps in the gym and tell us how out of shape we were as she would run with us. Also, swim classes. I would always try to have swimming before lunch,so as to have time to dry my hair and not go to my next class still dripping wet.

Ah swim classes. The only reason I ever wore contacts in high school...you got out of swim class five minutes earlier if you had contacts. How many of you remember the November "false alarm" fire drills...every year on the anniversary of the Kennedy assassination? I only remember because I always seemed to be IN swimming class. BRRRR.

Plus...the guys had that NICE NEW BEAUTIFUL pool...and the girls had the dumpy old pool. The guys had the beautiful NEW gym and the girls shared the two old gyms.

Tom Mart Hi Shelly, Yes, the boys had the nice new pool. But the girls had swimsuits, the boys often didn’t.

>>But the girls had swimsuits, the boys often didn’t>>

Well...*I* would not have known about the boys (although I did hear that as a rumor when we were there). Believe me Tom...the swimsuits we had were nothing to write home about. They came in two sizes...triple large and quadruple large. I was a small. Enough said. The girls got very good at tying knots in the shoulder straps so the stinking things would stay on.

You guys didn't have those hideous gym suits...weren't you allowed to wear normal gym shorts and T's? Come on...don't you WISH you had worn one of those lovely blue bloomer suits with your name embroidered on the back (I swear they made us do that because the whacko PE teachers didn't have enough grey matter to remember our NAMES).

Tom Mart I never saw the girls’ swimsuits; I’ll take your word for it. And I don’t recall seeing the gym suites either. But yes we were allowed to wear normal shorts and T shirts. Ahhh the good old days!

Jeff Nadzam Sometimes we had swimming briefs and sometimes we didn't. It seemed as though Coach Feller was always the swimming teacher - he would race the guys by teams and broke the teams into the classes junior high school affiliation. Roxboro would always win.

Hi Everyone and Happy New Year.

I too remember Wiley better than Heights. Plus I was in Cappy's homeroom for those three wonderful years. And yes, he was forced to retire a few years ago. Came back as a coach until the basketball team didn't do well. Guess he shouldn't complain as he worked for over 40 years. I still teach for the district at the elementary level and see Mr. Wisely our unit principal at Credit Union meeting since he is still involved. Guess he can't get away from CHHS.There aren't any more teachers at the high school from our time though. If anyone remembers Mr. Bellin from Wiley he is still around in Cleveland. After leaving the Heights system he went to Beachwood and my daughter saw him at the high school as well as at Park Synagogue where he was a teacher too. He even remembered me by name every time I see him. His wife passed away and now he is a docent at the Maltz Museum to occupy some of his time.

Happy New Year Everyone. This website has really come alive. We complain about the boys having the newer pool, and we had the older pool. Think about how fortunate we were to even have those pools for swimming. A lot of high schools out here are lucky to even have one pool.We really had some great opportunities and a good education compared to what I see in our schools here in Arizona.
My kids never had to walk to school in the snow , but they did complain when it was over 100 degrees and they had to walk home..things were so different here in the Southwest Desert.
We actually had a dress code at Heights. Here, the kids pretty much wear whatever they want. Some schools have rules about offensive sayings on T shirts, and the shorts have to be a decent length.
Hard to believe so much has changed in 40 years!

Hello Y'all-

Hi Louie, I think we were friends and still can be!

Small world-Mr. Bellin was my counselor at Wiley. My son Eric spent senior year at Beachwood with Mr. Bellin as his counselor.

If Mr. Daughtery was ever going to paddle girls, I think our prank would have made us the ones. We had Mrs. Geiser for Home Ec. in 8th grade, 7th period for sewing. One day she wore a velvet suit she had made. As she went around the room, we took turns walking past her desk and each poured a thimbleful of water on her chair. Then she sat down. All I remember after that was a bunch of us in Daughtery's office with the door closed! He was P---ed! Janice Cline cried and he threw his handkerchief at her and I think she threw it back! I remember Terri Amster, Kathy Gloger and I think Terri Lurie there too. I flunked my apron project.

To Michael Wager-I seem to recall seeing the orientation movie toward the end of ninth grade.

Miss Parker had the daughter of Carl Sandburg come to our class and read her father's poetry. Something I would always remember.....

01/06/09 08:45 AM	#156

01/06/09 08:46 AM	#157
Bonnie Hirsch (Lauer) Louie I am so jealous......I do have friends, honest

01/06/09 09:14 AM	#158
Bonnie Hirsch (Lauer) Louie Thank you for being my friend and reconnecting. That is what reunions are all about. Life is too short, not to talk to one another or to hold grudges over things that at this point, you do not remember what you are holding a grudge about.
