I just put up photos into the text above photos of my 11th grade American Lit teacher's (Miss Moss) grade of and comments on that "new ending to your favorite assigned novel" assignment in (must have been spring of '75). It was odd for me to take any assignment at Pioneer seriously but something about Huck Finn grabbed me and I ended the novel --- no joke --- with a slave uprising. The teacher read the paper out loud to all of her classes near the end of the semester. That and Community High saved my life a little bit.
This is what I do in my spare time. Word Salvos. A few of your quotes are in there. I value articulatedness (articulability?) above almost everything else, especially these days. So thanks again.
Just realized I never saw Huron High. That was supposed to be the richer HS in A2. There's a blond haired lady around minute 6 who says that back in the day the school was full of (a) kids who were failing in Pioneer High and Huron High and (b) geniuses. I was probably considered (a) but looking back at my Huck Finn paper at least one Pioneer teacher (Ellen Moss, from NYC) thought I might be (b) LOL.
Wow, documentary shows Linda Feldt. She was the daughter of one my father's colleagues at UM. At one one point after their respective spouses died, her father Al Feldt and Jane Street went to Greece together! LOL.

That was NOT supposed to be the top pic, but what the Hell. I guess Substack picks the msot pixels for the banner.
I don’t know why there are two different links to the Commie High video. Thank you Paul for your music.
