It was NOT funny...as school let out my girlfriend and i were half way down the set of stairs when she slipped and bounced down the remaining stairs...bounce, bounce, bounce...books flying all over, crowd moving around..I was alarmed she be hurt, much less embarrased, and said (at the bottom o f the stairs) "Are you ok?????" but the sight ol her slinky like bouncing down the last set of steps was quite a sight and my concern was interspersed with laughter. ..like crying and laughing at the same time. It was awful!!! The genuine concern while giggling at the slink like twirling as uncontrolable...Fortunately she was fine but I don't think she ever forgot it.
Guess the funniest was the alligator in the hall, or the "greased pig"..... we used curlers with those wires in them and they were quite uncomfortable but that was before warm curlers were invented. i walked to school and back every day. Loved going to TU. My favorite classes in school were Doris Niles Drama class and Mr Hogues art class....loved swing dancing too. it was a fun time for me.
