If you worked on the Booster or Ivian with Mrs. Gable, you spent a lot of time after school.  The darkroom was in the biology lab area.  At Redskin Review time we worked very late Mrs. Gable took me to Morgan’s for dinner and then home afterwards.  What a learning experience..........I miss her terribly!

I worked at Crescent Pharmacy on Prospect near Fountain Square during high school. As a result I didn't get involved with a lot of extracurricuar activities. I did however get to play intramural basketball.

(I have previously shared the following as part of my tribute to my friend Jack Palladay in the Memorial section of the website.)

Jack and I met playing basketball, old school, outdoors at Miller’s hoop-on-a-garage in an alley near our homes in Fountain Square. As a big muscular guy Jack was a ferocious rebounder. Give him the ball and he would score or be fouled trying. In grade school he starred at Emmaus Lutheran. At Manual he could have played varsity but for some reason didn’t. Instead he was the actual, and self-proclaimed, star of the legendary “Deadeyes” intramural team. I had the responsibility of scheduling playing time for our talented team (That team also included Mike Caldwell, Dave Coughlan, Ron Drahos, John Lagarde, Dale Maar, Dave Marx, Mike Nichols, Steve Burgess and Tommy Peacock). Early on Jack said, “Byrd, I’m the best player on the team so I’m not sitting down.” He was six foot three. I was five foot eight. So Jack didn’t sit and the Deadeyes won more games in three years than any other team during that period in Manual’s Intramural league.

As a Basketball Junkie I relish those "back in the day" after school memories. I still try to keep track of my "Deadeyes" teammates even though they gave me a "Your fired!"  letter after our final victorious season.
