It's a pretty unique place (in all kinds of ways) and many students believed that the school was housed in a bomb shelter because the building has NO WINDOWS and NO WALLS... just room dividers, which is a GREAT IDEA for learning]]> 2022-05-03 21:05:43 UTC https://padlet.com/andy570/skyline/wish/2168964760 https://padlet.com/andy570/skyline/wish/2168965183 My high school was an all-boys catholic school.

Mr. Acker, our gym teacher, often had lunch duty, for which he used a microphone to call on different sections of students to get their food. He also used the mic to give a play by play of fights that would inevitably break out. Such was life in a Jersey Shore HS. ]]> 2022-05-03 21:07:16 UTC https://padlet.com/andy570/skyline/wish/2168966093 https://padlet.com/andy570/skyline/wish/2168966761 These are all so interesting ... all I can think of is that our mascot was a Wildcat, but we inexplicably had a person dressed as a cow (named Mighty Mood) lead the crowd at sporting events. ]]> 2022-05-03 21:08:00 UTC https://padlet.com/andy570/skyline/wish/2168966761 https://padlet.com/andy570/skyline/wish/2168968971 My high school (John Adams, South Bend, IN) won several national mock trial championships while I attended!
