I learned a new word this week: Promposal. I may not have known how to do an over-the-top invitation in 1974, but I certainly did have a sense of style. A bad sense, but a sense, nonetheless.
Who among us did not suffer in school? It’s part of our right of passage. Several school stories came to me this week, and I thought they were worth a look.
Avoid The Bouncing Ball
Dodgeball has been banned in a New Hampshire school district, as that game was found to be inappropriate. No longer will students be subject to “human targeting” in this “physically aggressive” activity. And yes, yes it was.
Wasn’t it great, though?
The High School Barber
There’s a Jesuit school in Kansas City that will begin drug testing this fall. It seems they have a barber on their teaching staff, and they will take snips of hair from randomly selected students. That hair will then be tested to see if they are engaging in any activities from binge drinking to smoking PCP. The test examines consumption over the last 90 days, apparently.
Go to school, get a hair cut … get counseling if you’re on the wrong path.
Fascinating what people do to high school students, isn’t it?
WATCH THIS VIDEO
Seriously, this is a fabulously great video done by the student choir at Highland Senior High School in Pocatello, Idaho.
Love this video. I hope the kids – who did this video in one long 8-minute shot – had as much fun as it looked like they had! Watch them scramble from scene to scene as the camera keeps moving.
Watch it, here.

Henry, I remember that suit. You look so YOUNG…were we all that young???
I can only explain the choice of that suit by saying YES, I was definitely that young. Maybe you, too???
hey, that was the height of fashion at one time – it’s just been a long time ago, lol
