[Generals64]

Hey Redskins.....Can you still read and write? We don't hear from any of you guys and gals but the Rickster....We remember the spot...Hickory Pit, Hollies and even Coach Speegle...But, the input from Southside Redskins would be wonderful......Man, that hurt to say that being as I am a U.S. GRANT GENERALS Graduate.....Talk to us .... let yourselves be know.....Most of your situatuations from the past are far beyond the Statutes of Limitation. Just Kidding....Ya'll had a great school (when we weren't too afraid to go over there) and many Southsiders jump in here....

I went to Capitol Hill for a while. It was back when the driver’s education machines still had reins instead of a steering wheel.

Those driver ed machines were a blast. First off I had drivers ed. after lunch. Do a little "smokin" before hand then head to the class. The guy running the class was Mr. Pigg! No kidding!

My dad went to Capitol Hill High as a sophomore when it was near Commerce street and Bruce Drake was his basketball coach.

Does anybody ever read the Capitol Hill Beacon? I'm in there every week.

[papaOU]

I read the Beacon and love it! Capitol Hill Jr High is on Robinson between 26th and 27th. The high school has always been at 36th and Walker.

I was thinking my dad told me the building either used as the Jr High or near the Jr. High was once the highschool in the late 20s.

Look for "Silliman on Sports". It's always on the last page of the Beacon.

My ex-wife taught English at Capitol Hill Jr. High for 3 years while I was in law school (1965-1968). Maybe she taught one of you guys. Uh, does that make me related-to-Capitol-Hill-by-former-marriage?

[USG '60]

OK, I confess, I did my student teaching there the last 9 weeks of the '64-'65 school year. My cooperating teacher was to have been Lloyd Bengsten, Economics. But the legislature had just ruled that a person could not teach and be a member of the House. He chose to leave teaching. His first day NOT there was my first day there. The baseball coach (who's name excapes me at the moment) was assigned to take his place. The class was to spend those last 9 weeks on studying communism. First day of class Coach just read out loud from the test book, stumbling over every word with more than 2 syllables. I could tell he hated it so at the end of the first day I asked if he would like for me to take over and he said yes. Because I was an extreme lefty I considered myself an authority on Communism in is various forms. First day I got up to the lectern and said "forget everything you heard yesterday, we're starting all over. I had the rapped attention of the students all hour and the coach never returned to the room for the rest of the year. It wasn't that perfect every day but it was a terrific experience. I was hired for the next year, but the very last act of the legislature that summer was to resend their previous law, so Bengston returned. I was left hanging with no job with just 3 weeks before school was to start. Bummer-- spent the next year at a tiny town in the panhandle, a few miles north and a few miles west of Slapout, for heavens sake.

Oh, I failed to mention this tidbid. I had not seen it in the theaters and on the weekend before I started I saw Blackboard Jungle on TV. Welll .....ya'll know what CH's reputation was at the time, so I was scared to death when I first walk in that building. As I mentioned before, however, it was a wonderful experience.

'67-'68 was my first year there. Name does not ring a bell and I have no year book.
