It is Thursday Jan. 7, 2010. The local school has been cancelled. I heard it on WCCO. Yes, it is a Thursday Snow Day. For some reason I remember it being Steve Oakland who came up to me 41 years ago to say, "I bet we get out early today." I don't think so. "We haven't had a complete day of school on a Thursday for 8 weeks. I bet we get out early." And we did get out early that day. It was a great winter for snow.

On attending a H.S. Reunion
One of the committee members said, "I find I didn't know very many of my classmates. It is fun to get to them now."

School Stories 10th Grade
Members of the ALHS class of 1970 are invited to share short remembrances:
Remember the huge double hung windows in the old part of the building. It was one of those beautiful spring afternoons with the windows open wide in German class with Fraulein Evers.* Before class started I had my head out the window when I was suddenly lifted off the floor and suspended out that second floor window. "Joel, you get in here right now! You will stay after class!" I sputtered, "I was just standing there and suddenly I am suspended out the window. And I am the only one who has to stay after class?"
*I believe Miss Evers was a teacher on Summer Science that summer.

School Stories 7th Grade
As we look forward to our 40th H.S. reunion I would like to post short Albert Lea school memories from members of the class of 1970. (higher grades to be added in days to come.)
I recall art in 7th grade, north wing of the junior high. I think the teacher was Mr. Wiedeman. As a signal that we should be quiet the teacher turned off the lights as he left the room. Someone turned on the lights. Steve Turner said loudly, "Who turned off the darks?" We all laughed.
