My school was a Episcopalian military/prep school in Southern California that had dropped the military part a few years before I arrived. Nonetheless, we still endured (and, for a time, perpetuated) the military-style hazing and all that rot.

A favorite was called "scrubbing": if a 7th grader did not move aside and bow his head when an upperclassman passed, then a group of upperclassmen would grab the offending boy, carry/drag him to the bathroom, and "scrub" a toilet bowl with his head.

I learned to avoid upperclassmen very quickly.

Boy,...are you guys ever off topic!!!

So in order to bring us back to the subject at hand, you could really "scrub" somebody if they were wearing one of those furry hats.

Say,....what's wrong with The Cure anyway???

I went to a public school in the San Francisco East Bay and your description of "scrubbing" was what the teachers used to do to 7th graders who were smart alecks.lol Actually, they didn't put our heads in the toilet, but they'd pull us across the table and butt our heads on the tabletop.lol There was no such thing as hazing amongst students, everyone fought back.lol
Then in the 10th grade there was James Powers wearing a Guess Jacket.:eek: in the desk in front of me.:eek:

I don't quite remember it that way around here in 7th grade. I think you went to below the tracks schools then. :p :eusa_doh:

Yep, when you came to the civilized side of town there were things like fashion that didn't appeal to you but I think we have you on the right track now. :p I still have that jacket somewhere. Leather and denium, nothing quite like it. Pants to match too. :D I'd be careful if I were you I have pictures. lol

Regards,

Yeah, all the wimps went to your Jr. High. The teachers never played bounce the students head to the apple polishers. It took us to toughen you guys up, otherwise you'd be singing chorus at Finoccio's before it closed.lol In fact the only thing your Jr. High School had going for it was the women.:D Guess? is fashion? Hell, it was more like; "guess which way his wind blows". Go ahead, post any pictures you have of me, I'm photogenic. Hopefully you have one of me in the black leather jacket that your favorite teacher, Ms. Young, wanted to go for a ride on a motorcycle with.lol

She had that Dodge Dart with the dented rear end and I asked her when she was getting "Clyde's" rear end fixed and she responded; "how would you like it if someone told you your rear end needed to be fixed"lol
