High Schools

[yoopers]

Rochelle built a new high school last year. The kids have been in it one year now but they're just now finishing up the athletic complex. Here (http://rochelle-hubs.smugmug.com/gallery/1579705)'s a series of photos if you're interested in what other high schools look like. Football and soccer are still practicing on the practice fields at the old high school location. Looks like football may get to play at the new stadium this fall but they had to redo the soccer field turf and ours won't be ready for another season yet.

so WOW, that school is huge, i could never even imagine attending such a massive institution of learning. also, is your mascot a hub? i looked at the picture of the water tower and saw the image of the hub of a wagon wheel.

We built a new fieldhouse and football field. State of the Art. Even colleges came to look at the field house. I'll find pictures then post them. Hold on.
DANG, after looking at yours are's (http://www.remc11.k12.mi.us/sjhs/highschool/ind3e.html) just doesn't compare.
Are's has 2 classroom's, 3 fullsize basketball courts and like 6 locker rooms, and a 1/8 of a mile running track.

This is where I went to high school, Seward Park (A Maximum Security High School):

It is, in fact, the former site of the Ludlow Street Jail where Boss Tweed died.

Aside from my mother, other famous people who went there include, Tony Curtis, Zero Mostel, Jerry Stiller, and Walter Mathau.

I'm not sure anybody who went there could, at the time of their attendence, identify or describe an athletic field of any kind. They could expound, however, on pickling methodology.

Who's your mom? Famous, or just known to you?

They make it Maximum Security when you started going there?;)

It looks awful!

Like if you took a hanger, cut it in half, built a wall and painted it the crappiest colour you could find. Honestly, is that a school? I'd start preparing dynamite if I had something like this in my neighbourhood.

Sorry if I offended anyone, but that's just not a building.

How old is your father and where did he grow up specifically, if you know?

Ave A near 2nd st, maybe? South of Thompson Sq, near Houston. Hes 51

Who's your mom? Famous, or just known to you?
Famous is an exaggeration. My mother's name is Rita Lasar. She is well known in anti-war circles and among those who job it is specifically to villify the anti-war movement. During the three years immediately following 9/11 she was quite active and in the public eye but has since moved her activities to behind the scenes work.

My mother still lives on 2nd Street and 1st Ave. I had a babysitter when I was younger who lived on 2nd between avenues A and B.

You dad is actually my brothers' age so he and I would not have crossed paths in school.

Ask him if he swam at the Pitt St pool or ever ate at Leshkos. Or for that matter did he attend PS 63 for elementary school.

Interesting reading about your Mom I noticed she made a trip to Sevierville,TN. That is were one of our forum members lives. You may remember Chirokid. Small world.

Sorry to hear about your Uncle. That was really cool of him to stay behind. I am sure if he knew what was comming he would have tried to carry that guy out on his back. Of course if he really knew what was comming, he would have called in sick that day.

Sorry to take this off track. It did make me go online to find pictures of my old Highschool wich at onetime had the largest enrollment in the State. Not sure if that is true anymore though.

[unisteez]

yoopers, how many students attend that school? its pretty big.

My highschool just added a wing(i think it added something like 30 classrooms!), we also got a new gymnasium and weight training room. Its so awesome, my school is fairly new anyways(about 6 years).

Thanks. A firefighter, Capt Michael Burke died with the two of them. I'm sure they would have tried to carry Ed out if they knew the buildings were going to collapse. Unfortunately Ed's condition made it difficult if not impossible for him to breathe without assistance. I don't think he would have survived being carried over a shoulder. It was a tragic situation with no good choices.

So much in life is pure chance. I have met a couple of people who were late for work or one who had an early dentist appointment and missed being at work in the WTC that morning. One fellow's daughter was scheduled for later flight but rushed to catch flight 93 to get home to her boyfriend as quickly as possible.

I think there may be 1300 or so. Rochelle is a town of about 9500 people but the school draws from a huge outlying farmland area.

The soccer team pictures (http://www.rochellehubssports.com/Soccer_Boys.html) and rosters are out! In the photos, I'm on the left in the back row next to Javier Zepeda, the head coach. Man, Coach Zepeda really looks tiny next to my big bulk. In the varsity picture, Ben is #13 and in the middle row to the keeper's right.

What high school did your father attend? Seward Park where I went had 4,000 students. My graduating class was about 1,000 of whom 2/3 actually got diplomas.

Okay, this thread has always annoyed me.

What do you say we move here for now?

So, what inventive ways do we have for jacking threads - is there a method to our madness?

How 'bout them Packers?

[iridemymuni]

guys don't break rule #4.

we don't want to annoy yoopers i have some respect for him

[ivan]

Yeah, you just post something completely irrelevant and interesting and then have a conversation with whoever is arround. Like yoopers did.
Yoopers, would you like to join the Threadjacking Squad? We would be honoured to have the man with such skill and family tradition(dad Jack). Think about it.

What does that mean?

I suppose you could make fun of tomtrevor or iridemymuni, then get them both in here and the next three pages will be jacked.
But that wouldn't be very nice.

[ivan]

I think it's an american expression that he uses to start a conversation about some football team(and to confuse people). Yoopers is sly.

Although I appreciate the offer, I have to respectfully decline. I know Gilby personally; have ridden with him, have dined with him, have shared his unicycles. I've been to his town, he's been to mine. Plus, he's a fellow mechanical engineer.

As much fun as it would be, I have much more respect for this forum and for Gilby and his effort behind the scenes. Thanks, though.

[ivan]

Good night, Iride.

I'm gonna go unicycle as soon as I put my shoes on.

I think you have a misconception of our mission.
We are not here to annoy anyone. We are here for entertainment purposes only. We are going to do our best to keep it civil, that's what the rules are for.

[ivan]

Okay, I'm off unicycling. See you guys!

[yoopers]

For those of you just tuning in, the little sidebar occuring came from here (http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=52684). :)

[habbywall]

Yeah, but you folks do annoy people, because these threads have things that are relevant to people. You should just post your banter in MR. That is what it is made for. Now you are just trashing the forums then people won't want to come in JC anymore.
