High School Classroom Trivia Time!

Below is a high school classroom and engaged students from yesteryear. The trivia question ... what's the subject being studied?

Yep, you got it! This is a sex education lesson from 1929.

P.S. - This is a sophomore class; the seniors are no longer surprised!

Tommy Weathers asked me to post these pictures.

Here's an interesting story, a "Mystery at South Jr. High". A "Mural" was found hidden behind a wall at South Jr. High. The mural was discovered during demolition of South Jr. High about seven years ago. A friend of Tommy's called saying a "mural was found inside a wall". Tommy ran down and took a few pictures of the mural just minutes before the wrecking ball took the building down!

This Spanish mural was 'inside' a wall outside of the music room in the hall. How did the mural get there? Does anyone know who might have painted the mural... and When?

Any South Jr. High "Historians" out there...?

Very astute second-row observation on your part:

Yeah ... been there, done that (yawn).

Less We Forget 65 Years Ago Today ...

"The Day The Music Died"

American rock stars Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and J.P. “The Big Bopper” Richardson are killed when their chartered Beechcraft Bonanza plane crashes in Iowa a few minutes after takeoff from Mason City on a flight headed for Moorhead, Minnesota. Investigators blamed the crash on bad weather and pilot error. Holly and his band, the Crickets, had just scored a No. 1 hit with “That’ll Be the Day.”

Charles Hardin Holley. What a terrible loss to the music world, his friends, wife, and Buddy Holley fans all over the globe.

Waylon Jennings was also member of Buddy Holley’s band. Jennings gave up his seat in the plane scheduled to take Holley and other musicians on to the next show. The plane crashed, killing all aboard, including Ritchie Valens and J.P. Richardson, “the Big Bopper” on Feb. 3, 1959.

Jennings says he gave his seat to J.P. Richardson because “he had a bad cold, and he was a big guy.” “We’d been driving around in this dinky school bus, and the seats were real uncomfortable for Richardson. He just couldn’t get any rest at all. I can sleep anywhere, so I let him take the plane on ahead,” he said.

Meanwhile, Jennings said guitarist and band member Tommy Allsup gave up his seat to Valens “because Ritchie needed to get some cleaning done. He had a cold too, and he didn’t have any clean clothes to wear.” Other versions say Allsup and Valens flipped a coin and Allsup lost his seat on the plane.

Toby Keith performed overseas before our troops over 200 times. He truly believed in the U.S. and those that fought to protect it.

My favorite of his songs...

Toby Keith had so many songs I loved but this one
touches the heart. It was inspired by Clint Eastwood
when he was making the movie "The Mule."
Toby ask Clint how he kept going Clint said,

"I get up every morning and go and 'Don't let the Old Man in.'"

Words to live by!!

My prediction on Super Bowl LVlll is
Dallas Cowboys!! OH, I forgot they
aren't in this Super Bowl.

No I think Kansas 31 San Francisco 27.
I really think, all in all, KC is the stronger team.

We'll see!!
