There were 700 in mine.
OTOH, the town in western Pa. that I grew up in had 50,000 people in
1955 and is down to 25,000 now. The elementary school I went to, one of several in town, had at the time 3 sections of each grade 1-6 of 30 kids each, is now rented out to some Christian something. The junior high is now a grammar school, complete with its indoor swimming pool, and the high school where my brother went is now a junior/senior high.---- BTW, the HS is only 4 doors from where my grandparents lived and where my father lived at least the last part of when he was in high school. Before that, they lived on the south side in a much poorer n'hood. He graduated HS in 1909. My grandfather was born in 1865, but died well before I was born.
Doubled! So it's the fastest growing city in America!!
So I'm not invited to your house?
Real men can handle chromium. It makes their guts shine on the inside, and makes the food slide through quickly. Good if you want to lose weight.
The Catholic Boys high school I went to had 3200 students in the early
1960s. Just looked it up and now 800, bout the size of my graduating class.Our tuition was paid by the parish we came from. Not sure how it works now but tuition is $9400/year.
And I knew, at least a little bit, 400 of them. There were two jhs's serving the high school so I was in the system for a little over 6 years. Some day I'll go through my yearbook and see how many of the 400 I remember. Right now I can only think of 10 or 15 and 5 or 6 teachers. (Plus all 29 of the other kids I went to grammar school with for 5+ years, plus my first grade teacher. I remember each of those kids, what they looked like, and other things about them.)
Not cheap.
Nope. Why would you want to? There's no fishing here. You might be able to find a frog or two in the drainage ditch behind the property, although I'm sure there's no water in it this time of year.
