So many things to remember.....As seniors, four of us skipped school just to have some fun and drove down to Oneida lake. Someone recognized me when we stopped to get gas and called my mother. I was suspended from school for three days. I'm not sure what happened to the others but they were not suspended.

I also remember Eddie Evans tutoring me in Chemistry. He usually consumed a hugh bottle of Coke or Pepsi probably to help the stress of trying to help me.
