There were only 3 girls in my graduating class

 

There are eight boys and seventeen girls in my son's graduating class. Not a bad ratio.

Sounds like "Surf City" with one leftover, lol

There were 20 guys in my class, one of the girls was Walter Brennan's granddaughter

Good looking kid there Joe. I think there were 500 people in my graduating class.

[SfanGoch]

Thanks, Mike.  

500.......wow! There aren't 500 kids in his school. There were about 45 students in my freshman English class in high school (almost 6,000 students in total). Overcrowding was the norm in the 1970's It was sort of like "Blackboard Jungle" meets "Welcome Back, Kotter". Nike Zeus Zacharias, a combination of Dr. Smith and John Barrymore, was our teacher. He maintained his sanity with one of these

LOL!  

We had a teacher that I swear did that in my senior year of high school. We always wondered why his nose was red, and well that's more than likely what he was doing!

Bill, I think more than half of the teachers in my high school had those flasks. That would explain my machine shop teacher's nickname, "Three Finger Louie" Russo.

I once knew a "Three Finger Louis"...pronounced "tree feenguh Loowee". From your neck o' the woods, too.

Was he a "friend of a friend"?  You're neck o' the woods is a popular destination for WITSEC alumni.

In high school, I mowed my shop teachers lawn. He bought beer 20 cases at a time and stacked them in his kitchen. I don't remember seeing him drunk at school though. We did have a few teachers and an awful lot of students get busted in an undercover drug sting though.

This morning I tried the Turtle Wax headlight restorer on my wife's Solara as they were a little discolored. I was amazed at how well it worked. The lens came out looking new. Good stuff IMO.

I have some old 100% DEET mosquito repellant that works a treat for that purpose

500.......wow! There aren't 500 kids in his school.

My HS graduating class had about 1,500.

Yep, one of the biggest high schools in the city. Total population upwards of 5,000.

The Hazelwood School District in north St Louis county routinely graduated about 5000 a year in the early 70's. 

The three high schools in that district placed third in the country in 1976 for size of graduating class. 

I was gone by then, thank goodness.

[SfanGoch]

Thanks, Carl. He's a good kid. Most if the time.

Off and on, I've been doing some electrical work in the basement. Today I finished installing the last of the  receptacle boxes and conduit (phase 1), and that makes me very happy indeed.

I got rid of my afib today. That makes me very happy. I even feel like doing a happy dance.

I caught a couple of nice rainbow trout in the city park in Eugene today, I left just in time to beat a downpour.

Gonna have 'em for supper tonight

About 6 weeks into a new sales job, similar but different than what I was doing before. Took over a territory that was not well maintained and in some cases, a previous rep did a great job of loading up customers with inventory or just outright pissing them off! I see the challenges and will hit them head on and am confident that I can win back some business.

Second call today was on one of the customers that told me and my boss last month that the previous rep "raped me bad on pricing and ordering things I don't need" so I went in expecting a brief but "no sale" sales call. The service manager was very pleasant to me as I explained I only needed a few minutes of his time and he invited me to sit down and show him our monthly specials. This account hasn't bought ANYTHING in over 12 months, so I wasn't optimistic that I would get an order. 15 minutes later I am out the door with an order that equaled all of last year's purchases and a customer thinking about adding a few new items not previously considered!

I figured after that call, the rest of the day was going to be a breeze and it basically was. Best news was the disbelief in my bosses' voice when I replayed the sales call for him and how we may have made progress in a short period of time and he was just excited that we got the customer to order!
