Your High School Story:

A funny story was when my Sister-in-Law, Eileen King and I (Eileen Hickey) were in Mr. Hienz, "Sales class" in our Junior year. Our homework assignments both looked very much alike. He used to say there's something funny about the two of you. I've always wanted to tell him that a year after graduation I became Eileen King when I married her brother.

I loved Mr. Heinz, because he taught life after High School during his Sales class sometimes. He was more interested in where we were "going" after we graduated than how we did in his class. I liked him for that!
I also remember " Mother Laud" who taught Accounting.
