50 years ago this month I was a brand new teacher walking into a brand new technical high school.
20 students, 17 & 18 years old, able to drink and who's minds were geared toward "Sex, Drugs, and Rock & Roll".
Being only 8 years older than they were, I wasn't to far off from the same mind set.
Great kids, great first year as a teacher.
I have a picture of the class, this is how I'll always remember them, but in reality, today they are 67 & 68 years old, Grandparents and hopefully still alive and active.
Doesn't seem like it was really that long ago !
