I was oppose to co-op since day one as if you cannot field an athletic team i am not sure the school can field an academic team. The school cannot save the town only parents having more kids so i thought that was the way to go. Why the wife had 5.

Maybe some of this has to do in my days as the school was close down (1960), went to the bigger school with the bigger school's name and colors and that's the way it was. No new joint name and new colors.

Town is still there minus a schoolhouse but same population of about 50. We had play day every spring which was well attended. No band, basketball for boys and cheerleading for girls and a prom, carnival and recess. No bus, high school kids drove to school and drank beer at noon hour in the cars. (so many memories)

Have my letter and banner from that small school hanging in my man cave but not one from the bigger school. Did not get one as i could not make the team. (Maybe another stupid reason)

For us, five kids in every sport and no state playoff. It was so unfair has to be the reason. But they are all grown up with kids and the wife and i are older with great memories of the kid's school days. They also have those memories. db

And then life went on.
