Lincoln Memories - Part 2

Now that we’ve opened the Lincoln Memories Vault

Here are some more tidbits I remember about Lincoln:

21 – Frank O. crying in Breon’s class because he failed a test and Robb P. laughing even though he got a grade much lower.
22 – Kim K. getting in trouble in Mrs. DeHaven’s class for pulling the chair out from unde Colin H. (we got a lecture on the possibilities of broken necks, paralysis, wheel chair usage, etc.,.)
23 – The first dance we were aloud to attend in 7^th grade. I believe Eddie Brushak and Bobby Almazan were the DJs (correct if I am wrong)
24 – 5^th grade gym with Mr. Hawrylo. Guys, to you remember “Feet on the line. At ease”.
25 – wearing the gym uniform (brown and white)
26 – any time the divider opened for coed gym – mat kickball (where you could stay on the mat and not have to move from base to base)
27 – team handball (Mike Muller was a pro)
28 – dittos (we still have an antique ditto machine in our copy room at school)
29 – the way we would get Ms. Kornfiend (Cake Face) to blow her gaskets, almost on a daily basis.

30 – the way Cake Face would “stab” your forearm with her dagger nails. I wonder if they were real or press-ons (I could never get passed the pounds of make-up)
31 – Home Ec – I made the van pillow (Mare noted pillows in another post) – making crepes and pancakes – counting those soup labels – sewing in general (and learning to iron)
32 – metal shop and the hanger and tuna lid flowers – when you would weld them, you could smell the food that was kept in the can
33 – The Spanish market in Ms. Costello’s class – I still have the bottle with the masking tape and picture on it that Robb P. made
34 – Getting “cut off” in lunch because the person you wanted to sit by sat in the last seat of the previous row – that blew big time
35 – Movies in Bell’s/Freeman’s room with the divider removed – I remember Johnny Tremaine and 20,000 Leagues Below the Sea
36 – stopping at the corner store and getting your illegal stash of candy for the day – a buck would go a long way
37 – Those ungodly orange sodium lights they put in (I think they are still using them)
38 – Watching a squirrel get fried on the electric wires outside of Semmel’s class – it blew out the transformer and we lost power
39 – taking notes during movies for Mr. Buss (take as many notes as you could, it did not matter if they made any sense – just quantity, no need for quality)
40 – Hanging out at the North Catty Playground with Randy G. and the BMX Hoodlums – me and my YELLOW Huffy
More soon!
