Walking into Browns training camp last year, I'm the one with the almost-3 year old that seems to want "walk" instead of "carry", and/or her water bottle.....

Post A Picture of Your Really Fat 4th Grade Picture From Over Half a Century (!) Ago--I think my mother must have selected dark clothing for me in the hope that it would have a "slenderizing effect." It didn't work :-(

Your photo reminds me of being the smallest kid in my 7th grade giant photo (like well over 100 kids), and in order to balance out the photo they put me in the front row with the special education kids in wheel chairs.  It was super-embarrassing. 

 

 

 

 

Yes, I feel sorry for the special education kids too. They're too good for you.

@eastvillagedon Painesville was an incredibly diverse place in 1964. Rare for Northeast Ohio, especially then. Cool picture!

I still vaguely remember the day the picture was taken. The photographer was named Robert Barbian. I think that year was maybe his first in business. He pretty much eventually had the entire school picture business, at least in the eastern half of Lake County, sewn up. I found out that he worked until a few years ago, and passed away fairly recently in his early 80's. I know of at least 3 classmates in the picture who have also passed away, including the boy standing next to me with his head at an angle. He was a transfer student (can't remember from where). I recall him telling everyone he was a descendant of a family on the Mayflower (I didn't know at the time that about half of America claims that! LOL). And at the time I was too young to have quipped that with a pedigree like that, how he ended up in such a crummy neighborhood as ours.  Anyway I did a search on him a couple of years ago and discovered he had died away in Hawaii (in his mid-50's), where he was working as an engineer, having lived in the south (attending the U. of Alabama) and in Colorado. No reason given for his death. And the girl in the vertical striped skirt two to my left also died. She was one of the nicest people in my class throughout high school. I still remember everyone's name. It was also the first year as a teacher for Miss Mason, who had just graduated from Lake Erie College. She remained at the school until it closed, about 10 years ago (demolished and replaced by a new one in a different location). Mason was from Louisville, KY whose father, as she told us, was a Kentucky Colonel (I don't know what the requirements are for this distinction, but I also remember someone from college--also from Louisville--who constantly boasted that his father was a KC and he was an arrogant, privileged ass). This was also the class of people I was with when I first heard of the assassination of JFK,  the previous November. Our school didn't have a PA system (did they have them anywhere in 1964?), so the principal went from room to room announcing that JFK had been shot (to audible gasps) and then later in the afternoon that he had died. Everyone gathered around the flag in front of the school at the end of the day for an observance of that event.

Awesome narrative, thank you for sharing! It's insane how I couldn't tell you what I had for breakfast last Wednesday, but I can tell you the way my classroom smelled on 9/11.

 

Not to derail this, but my father was in 2nd grade when JFK died, at St. Charles School in Parma (at the time the largest Catholic school in the country) and he still tells me about how the principal came on over the PA (So I guess they existed) and was not able to speak for the first 5-10 seconds as she had obviously been crying. He said he came home that afternoon to find out that he had passed, and my grandma, a first generation Catholic, Irish-American was crying on their living room couch and my grandfather (also first generation Irish-American) was angry beyond words.

Is it that '70s one in SE D.C.? I remember being shocked to see a school that new already abandoned by 2004 when I drove past.

[seicer 9]

Springarn. The place was mostly pristine and intact. Full of chemicals in the labs and equipment but it's totally trashed now. I did score a cheerleading outfit, which I wore back to my car, mainly because my friends had taken my other clothes.

You know I love @MayDay like a red headed step child, dropped off at a fire station door, but he looks a lil ashy.  I think she needs to moisturize.  Just sayin'.
