Highschool and college yearbooks

I graduated from Baltimore City College in 1957.  The school was a high school founded in 1839, third oldest high school in the US.  Getting the public to pay taxes to use to have buildings built for 6 years of what we now call "elementary school" took a while.  When Daddy needed a boy to tend to gardens and animals, being in school five days a week from September to June cost him labor.  The idea that the public should pay for an additional 6 whole years of education for all was not always well received.  

"City" was a public school, not a religious one, but when I went there, only males were admitted.  At the time, Baltimore had something like 14 high schools and two of them were all male and two were all female.  The school was my choice since it was the only school where I could get credit for my year of Latin in 9th grade.

The class of "57 held reunions but over time, my life got more and more centered in Wisconsin.  One of the energetic organizers of a reunion and I became friends and we have written back and forth quite a bit.  My wife asked me to show her a picture of that energetic organizer so I dug out my year book and showed her.

That book brought back memories!  Being the drum sergeant in the drum and bugle corps, showing mental instability as Capt. Queeg in "The Caine Mutiny" and being on the wrestling team were pictured.  I am thankful for the book.  Keep those yearbooks!
