Message: Caught Tom Nadal's feedback/question and I think he's referring to Miss Hollingshead. I remember Sweeney used to let us play hoops in the morning before school would start. We'd play in our corduroy (floods) white socks and wing-tip shoes. I remember many games with Tom and his brother Jim.

Message: A couple of more popped up in my memory. When you had a fight you were never going to whup them or even thrash them. Any self respecting ?after school at the park fighter? was going to POUND the other kid. The other one confused me at first because I heard it as, ?Don?t go ape, go Greyhound. It stops at every tree.? But I soon found out that you should avoid going ape at all costs and that bus reference was just added for a little color.

Message: To "chop" somebody meant to insult them. "What a chop" meant that someone was being forced to do something degrading. Then there was: "Urp, slop, get the mop;" "Up your h#$% with a telephone pole;" and the ever popular "Give a cheer, give a cheer, for the boys that drink the beer, in the cellars of old [insert school name]." And "Shake a leg," mostly from my parents to me, when slow getting ready for school. I hated that one. Also, a "gas," "weird," and "get hosed!"

Message: Okay, this is long, but it's true, cross my heart. Big sister Ricki got wind of V5 and me retaliating against her forcing us into a bed-time at 8pm, and found our crayon hieroglyphics on the baseboard of our bunkbeds which read in big, block letters: "Ricki is a Butt". She didn't yell or scream at us (Patty 10, me 8) but she told us, and I quote: "Where stupidity predominates, vulgarity invariably inserts itself". I had to memorize that, and repeat it, TO HER, so did V5. BOY was she a BUTT, but that's between you and me, John B. I didn't understand that till several years later, BUTT it is true.

Guess that meant to mind your own business. He also used to say Tend to your own rat killing...I think that meant to worry more about what you do wrong and not what others did. He also used to have this saying: Some people eat to live and others live to eat.

Message: This one's from York School (said after someone insults you): "I'm rubber, you're glue; whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you." Yeah, it made a lot of difference to say that! And one still used in our house, thanks to my father's childhood during the Depression and WWII: "use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without." I guess that means I'm never going to get that pony . . .

Message: I remember being "stoked" over something that was truly "groovy"; my yearbooks are emblazoned over and over with phrases like "have a bitchen summer", things were often "neat" and cute boys were known as "foxes". And while we promised to "keep in touch" our lives moved on and we often lost that touch we planned to keep. Through the wonder of Cougartown, we have discovered it is not too late to keep that promise and that we can make up for lost time by finding each other again and even if our reunions are brief, they are all good. And as regards the current HHS Football Program, it has been bleak but I am reminded of an old saying: "Being defeated is often a temporary condition. Giving up is what makes it permanent." I'M STILL going to root for the team - they may not be currently winning, but for ALL of those athletes, there is the experience of being part of a team, camaraderie, individual successes and character building. Let's not forget that it is the personal experience and growth of their participation that lasts, not just wins and losses. (I point to the positive influence of and the continued and deep affection we all have for our coaches and educators). GO COUGARS!! Now - HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!!
