Uphill both ways to school. I was in a big class....9. About 6-7 grade we got hot lunch twice a week. We had a crank record player until I was in 8th grade.
In 7th grade I stayed after school to sweep floors and clean chalkboards. I was paid $1.00 per week. The next year I asked for a quarter a week raise. They hired someone else. I should have been union.
Got caught smoking on the tackle tag field in the 8th grade. Don't know how I got by with it, but my parents never saw the report card with "David has been smoking in school, this is not allowed." Some things you just don't forget.
