science geeks 1971
east noble high school, in (spring 1971)
Would it surprise you to know that I was a Science Geek in high school? We called ourselves The Klan^*:

An elite senior male organization dedicated to the proposition that no one shall fail.

Or, as our chemistry teacher put it, "The buddy system". We didn't really cheat, we just held intense and very effective cram sessions — enough so that other kids in our classes would sit in on them.^**

Front, from left: Lonny Gordon ("Gordo"), Jeff Fish ("Slime"), Leonard Clevenger ("Grand Puba"), Mike Carroll ("Hobbitt")
Rear, from left: Fred Kreigh ("Kree"), John Davis ("Grubb"), Roger Schenk ("Schnikk"), Phil Rogers ("Rutabegga"), Joe Yuska ("Josiah"), Clyde Tackett ("Thumb")

^*No relation!
^**A couple of us actually did cheat once in electronics class. We let a non-Klan member, a jock, copy some of our answers on a test. He got a 100; we got 90 — he guessed at one answer and the rest of us got it wrong. Kids, let this be a lesson; cheaters never prosper.

It sounded just like it looks like it should sound: putt-putt-putt-putt. We think it was in the area for Pete Townsend's Wooden Boat Festival.

Yes, that's a boat being towed, and another one on top.

Oh, and you can book a cruise on it!
