Marc Chevalier said: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.

Lincsong said: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:

jamespowers said:I don't quite remember it that way around here in 7th grade. I think you went to below the tracks schools then. :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. I still have that jacket somewhere. Leather and denium, nothing quite like it. Pants to match too. I'd be careful if I were you I have pictures. lol

Ms. Young?! One of my first brushes with an unreconstructed lefty hippie. Remember the ridiculous history paper assignments from that nut?!
Lincsong said:Oh c'mon, she was just a left over beatnik.lol With Gladys her 8 foot tall plant that she engaged in conversation. Don't forget her table full of bells and the toy parrot that hung from Gladys.
jamespowers said:Yep, she belonged in supervised care not teaching at a high school. :fing28:
Lincsong said:And don't forget her HUGE hats. You enjoyed her, admit it.
jamespowers said::eusa_doh: Don't remind me. :eusa_doh:
Lincsong said: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
Lincsong said:fftopic: See what you did? You hijacked Marc's thread and drove him out of here. Are you proud of yourself?
