Becky Lowe:  

'extra-curricular' activities we did and realize that in today's world, they would have been ruled as totally inappropriate. For example, in Junior High, how many of us attended Mr. Tom Bowen's annual Beach Parties? And in high school, our Biology "field trips" to Galveston to search for salt water species with Mr. Mack Neal were infamous, besides being educational and fun at the same time. I would never let my own kids do things like that now. Some of my best memories had to do with Choir activities - like the Musicals, Contests, Madrigal Performances.(We got to skip class to perform at luncheons, churches, Rotary and Lions' Club events, etc.) Was fun except for having to make sure that our long, 'stringy' hair was put up and off our faces each time, and wandering through the halls in the middle of the day in semi-formal attire - long gloves, satin heels, etc. Kathy Prince and I ended up sitting beside each other in Mr. Chaney Anderson's Geometry Class and were totally lost the entire semester. I never felt so stupid! I think I finally figured it out about 2 weeks before school was over and ended up passing with a very low "D", which I'm sure Mr. Anderson just 'gave' to us as insurance that he would not have to teach us again that following year. There are many more stories I'd love to share, but it would involve secrets that I'm not sure my closest friends would want revealed, so it will be up to them to spill the beans on those memories..
