Our Grade 11 physics teacher had the same jacket, 1981. He was so old that he could not see past his desk. The desks at school were tables, divided into 2 sections; we filled one side with batteries and the other side was a big step up transformer. As the girls walked we gave them a shock, the first tasers I guess. They got into more trouble for yelling then we did. Mined you, I think the old guy knew.

In 1973, I was a Sophomore in High School in Rural Tennessee when one of our not so bright Science Teachers had the not so bright Idea to have the Sheriff’s Department come to the school with a 55 Gallon Trash Bag of ‘Weed’ to burn so the students would know what it smelled like giving nearly 1,000 Students a Contact High.
Oh, bag open next to a desk steps away from the door, no telling how many students reached in and grabbed a handful of ‘Weed’, no I did not take any at all.
