I remember: …….how wide the stairs were at the “old PHS” (before we moved to Forest Park). …….
how those same stairs were hollowed out from so many kids going up & down them over the years. …….
open windows in the whole building—-long before A/C in schools. …….study hall with Miss Mixon
(until I got out & got scheduled into 2 PE classes (unheard of these days!) …….
PE uniform check every Monday>>>had to be washed, bleached, starched, & ironed
white shirts, shorts, socks and Keds. Shirt tails tucked in, of course!!! …….
bus passes…no “yellow dogs”! …….riding the bus to the library in downtown FW. …….
riding the bus to Forest Park for PE (tennis) the last 2 periods of the day after the tennis courts at the “old PHS” were torn out for the remodeling.
…….the amphitheater
(left over from McLean JH). …….”running for classes” our senior year. …….the first
“Gifted & Talented” or “Accelerated” English class in the FWISD (maybe in the state)
–with Miss Smith. …….going to Miss Mitchell’s apartment house to sing
Happy Birthday to her. …….being in Miss Doris Cheney’s homeroom for 3 years.
What a special lady! …….Senior class train trip to Amarillo.
