Eloise's Story

The wildest thing I ever did in high school was cut class with a couple other girls... a whole days worth. One of the girls boyfriend let her use his car for the day and she invited me and another classmate to go to Ft. Collins and thereafter to Sealeys Lake. We planned to goof around driving and do some sunbathing. As I had never purposefully sunbathed before, the sun zapped my energy and I woke up to some serious sunburn. When my parents got home that evening, my mother thought I had a fever since my face was so flushed. I assured her it would go away, then she noticed my arms were also super red & looked a little closer and asked how I got the sunburn I told her in P.E. She didn't buy my story and then asked to see my back. I knew then I was in trouble. I then told her where I had been. She just looked at me and told me not to to do it again and not to expect her to write an excuse to go back to school the next day. I went in and told the Admin. Officer Mrs. Durr that I skipped school the previous day. She look...Expand for more
ed at me and asked if there were others who skipped with me. I told her I could only report myself, to which she replied..that's okay I'll see what others come in with sunburn and excuse notes. I got to do a weeks assisting her in the office for an hour after school as my detention. I discovered then I actually enjoyed office work, and didn't particularly care for sunbathing as I get sun poison easily. The story doesn't end there. After I graduated from Greeley Central I went on to San Antonio, TX for a brief time of study, later married and within a couple years gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. When our daughter was about two years old we were visiting my parents in Greeley. We were at a Safeway Supermarket when this woman walks up to me and begins to tell about "this girl coming to the GCHS office to get an unexcused absentee slip." She then embraced me and introduced herself to my husband. Mrs. Durr was the best person for the Admin office... because she doesn't forget names or faces. Cheers to Mrs. Durr!
