John Tyler!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Big Bad John!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!What can I say?????????And the peeps in Abilene think Abilene High or Cooper is bad. They have no idea. Talk about rivalry!!!!!!!!!!The Robert E. Lee Rebels had the confederate flag (yes in the 60's) and the Rebels would tie their flags to their antennaes and insert razor blades in them so when the JT Lions would drive by on the drag strip of Broadway and grab them, they'd cut their hands up!!!!!!!!!!!Yuck and they think they're bad here in Abilene with their rivalries. Well my sophomore year I met Donna and Colleen. We were in Journalism class together. We would sit and talk for hours that year. We'd write articles for publication in the school newspaper. I loved to write for the paper. We'd interview people. That year I took typing. That's why I can type now. I was in honors English and I had the absolutely worst teachers in the state that year. Mr. Cole and Mr. Young. Mr. Cole was our Biology teacher and he had the nicest daughter who was my Blue Brigade captain. Now Mr. Young was my Geometry teacher. He was so lame. They ruined my high school trac of science and math. I also tried out for the Drill Team and made it. That was fun. Teresa helped me with my routine. I twirled to Sittin on the Dock of the Bay by Otis Redding. My junior year a guy by the name of DeWayne sat in front of me in English and one of my best friends boyfriends or she liked him. Anyway we started dating and there went my friendship with Carol. We dated almost 2 years before we broke up. We continued to stay in touch until I met my one and only honey. I also dated a guy my sophomore year for about 2 months. I was so naive my high school years. Life was so much simpler then. My high school years were memorable to say the least. My senior year all of the black people walked out a week for some reason. I can't remember why but my senior year we integrated. We had the elite blacks come to our schools beginning in 7th grade but they closed the black high school and everybody came to John Tyler my senior year. Why would they want to be a Rebel? Of course my claim to fame is when I left, Earl came. Campbell that is. So there are very few JT Lions in West Texas but there are thousands around the world. My first car was a Chevy II and man did I think it could ride. Then my daddy bought me a Pontiac tempest. Man did it go miles and miles before it slept.
