Good morning!!!!

[daugen]

Toppop, I had to chuckle and thought of you when I saw this on my high school web page.
I guess the football team or program must be doing something right; here's a kid getting into Towson on a football scholarship.
Small potatoes but the potatoes are growing!

I think the cost per pupil is about 13K here, high but not too crazy. This public HS is still more like a giant private school due to its small size.
The area is blessed with three seriously good public high schools, and taxes to match. My home town school and the one closest to me now are both producing their
share of future "affluenza" adults, should high school kids be driving Land Rovers to school? They are all over the place...you'd think they were all going on a surprise safari and I guarantee not one of them has ever got more than a smattering of "mud on your tires"... All posing stuff. Or maybe Mom's old car when she got her new one. Well at least if they crack it up it will protect them well. And that always has value. my neighbor across the street is pretty strict with his kids, very protective Mom, and when eldest son went off to college he was driving an old but nicely preserved 850 Volvo sedan. A good choice.

I also see a lot of kids here driving Tahoes and Suburbans. Maybe these new football players!
Nothing better than seeing Green Bay play in the snow, and I don't even follow football...

That's cool! When I went to school, I usually drove a seat on the bus!
Some had an old clunker like my '61 Corvair and some of the kids drove mom's car sometimes. We did not have a parking lot that looked the Ritz on a Friday night.

My high school driver was a '61 Meteor (Mercury) four-door with three on the tree. The only decent set of wheels in the student lot was a brand new '68 Galaxie 500 owned by the kid whose dad was the top seller at the local Ford dealer. Must have been nice to get a set of wheels like that...

That was pitiful Bill ... :laughing::drink:

Remember what toppop52 told me one time: "I bet if I looked up postwhoring on Google, your picture would come up...."

We live about seven miles out of Altha, and I road my trail bike to school from the age of 14 to 16. Then I got to drive the old '64 Fairlane. But Mamma told me I had to let my cousin ride to school with me if I drove the car. So for two years I rode a bicycle the 7 miles each way. {I didn't like my cousin then. Still not real fond of her 35 years later}

But you've been away and are in danger of losing the spot!

You still did better than me. I biked till 17, then a Yamaha dirt bike . I didn't get a car till I saved enough money and that was the sumer after I graduated and it was a Pinto (without air).

Didn't get my license until senior year, then I was allowed to drive the 1956, Chevy, 9 pax station wagon.
Prior to that I was fortunate enough to hitch a ride in back of a neighbor's p/u. He was an older classmate (but same class) and made enough money to buy a new Chevy pu Sophomore year hauling garbage. His gf lived about half mile done the road and as long as I was there I could ride in the back. Only the gf got to ride in the cab. Otherwise it was walk or bike as there was no bus service for HS.
