I decided to skip school and go to Nay Aug Park where we were sunning ourselves and doing our shorthand homework when as luck would have it, a police car came and drove us back to school. All the kids were out - lunchtime - it was quite embarrassing. First and last time skipping school. Being a Techette in Sr. High school was so much fun. I was very popular, but did not do all the things my peers did. All of the Techettes decided to bleach their bangs...no matter the color of their hair. I though it was hideous, so I would not and did not do it. It never bothered me to be different or not go along with the crowd. I only did what I felt was right for me and it did not bother me what they thought. One of my wanna be’s was Billy Heinz. He was president of our senior class. He was very intelligent and attractive, but no chemistry for me. He came to the Y every morning and picked me up for school. It was Billy who taught me to drive. He was the “salt of the earth” kind of a person and I loved him as a friend. My best girlfriend in High school was Janet Sullivan, very pretty, tall, and classy. We love each other to this day. She lives now in Churchville, PA. She also is an only child and I use to spend some weekends at her home in Green Ridge during senior year. We both loved to dance and attended dances every weekend at different places around town. My dad’s YMCA had the best dances. We went all the time. They had the huge ball in the center of the ceiling that went round and around flashing colors on everyone. I was a dance freak!!! I won a twister contest once later on. I went to a party one summer at Harvey’s Lake (PA) with the crowd. They all drank and most were drunk. I did not drink and got my first driving experience by driving everyone else home scared to death! I have been the designated driver all of my life since (even when I drank) Thank you Billy H! I broke his heart when he asked me to the Sr. prom and I told him I already asked Rod Reagan a 2nd yr college student who was the most handsome man I had ever seen... to
