David's Story
Life
In the words of a baseball teammate, "Sat on the can and ended up a Cardinal" sums up my life since BBHS. First I went to Louisville for criminal justice but ended up majoring in baseball with a minor in beer. Then I transferred to Randolph-Macon College for economics, quickly switching to football and, you guessed it, beer. After fumbling a few too many I switched to pre-med and ended up a teacher at the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine in Lewisburg, WV where I live with my wife Mary and two kids, Jake and Ella. Daffy Duck was right: "Yaaaahhhh never know where ya goin til ya get there..."
School
Bound Brook High School was an old building with steep stairways up to the oldest section, the third floor. I had French up there in the small classrom to the west of the big study hall room. The teacher Mrs. Young was interesting, excited about teaching, and, unfortunately for her, new.
We freshmen boys called her Madam...Expand for more
e Jeune and hazed her pretty bad about wearing floods and having a distinct appearance, not our words then. One Spring afternoon when the classroom was heating up Gordon Barna and I sat back in the rear window to get some air. We noticed some old 78rpm French records in the small closet back there and somehow decided to wing them out the window when Mrs. Young was writing on the board. She never saw but someone down on the tennis court who had to dodge the flying saucers and shattering vinyl did.
An inquisition by the dreaded Vice-Principal Mr. Spain resulted in a bunch of demerits and a warning that any more would mean suspension. But for the grace and wisdom of Mrs. Young, Gordon and I would have had to pay, or worse, had a call to our parents. Instead, we received the worst possible punishment, sitting up front for the rest of the year where we couldn't duck her questions or see if we were catching Nancy Rosenshein 's eye. C'est la vie!
