High School Memories:
Snake dances in Clementon. Clementon Park. Atco Drive-in. Atco raceway. Mr. Pierce, Ms. Rothermel, and others. Taking a Senior course in Ancient History as a filler when in 9th grade, and since it was a particular interest of mine, doing well. The seniors hated me. I was always raising my hand! LOL Having an essay printed in the school paper. Believe it or not, I was so shy then, that I was really not going to do it, but was urged and cajoled into submitting it! Gossip! Sorry, but it's fun sometimes, as long as it isn't hurting someone. A tall young man in our class who had severe epilepsy. Ray something. We became friends. He was such a sweet guy. Football games. Fear when the missle crisis was going on. Everyone speculating if we would be pummeled with atom bombs! LOL How I hated running the track! How I loved the trampoline in gym! Never did master the ropes! Or a push-up! LOL Clementon on friday nights. The sweet shop. Church picnics on Clementon Lake. Walking to and from school 1 1/2 miles! LOL Boy do I ever remember the rainy cold days! But, in the spring it was great. A huge tree on the way was covered with honeysuckle and I'd stop and chew on the nectar. Teas in the library. Serving the Eagles football team in the cafeteria when they came one time to the school. Having to dodge (I mean really dodge) a fella who had a massive crush on me! I mean everywhere I turned there he was. He'd bring me gifts and everything. I had no interest and did my all to discourage him! It finally sunk in! I feel bad to this day that I didn't try to be nicer about it, but didn't really know how then. So much more!
