Most Messed Up Things About G&SP
Most messed up thing about G&SP had to be getting locked in that nasty
bathroom for hours at a time when you misbehaved, what's up with that?
I actually had my mouth washed out with soap in first grade, I guess that
means I'm old. Seriously though that was no way to treat a kid, locked
in the dark for all that time. (John Gatti)

Random Thoughts
Mary Pierzchalski (Mary Beth Biederbock)
I remember:
- The colored pencils with our names on them in gold. We used to get them
from Hutzlers..........I hated those pencils........one sharpening and half
of my name was gone.
- Miss Mary's corn bread.
- Getting our polio vaccinations in that little room in front of
the auditorium. The vaccinations came in a sugar cube.
- Going out to St. Gabriel's in the fall where they used
to have the babies & then we would have a picnic at Patapsco state park
- The hollow tree at the park.
- Those big radiators in the auditorium and how everyone used to
melt crayons on them.
- If you were on the "red sofa" in Mrs. Travers' office, you were either sick
or in trouble.
- It was a big thing to go & get the milk in the morning so that you could
ride on the elevator.
- The dumb waiter.
- Having to curtsey and bow just to get out of there at night.
- Mrs. Millard used to make all of the girls' uniforms, complete with
bloomers.
- The way Mrs. De Campos used to play her accordian.
- Going to the corner of Cathedral and Monument Streets to watch the
circus come to town.
Hans Kaseman
- Trick-or-Treat for Unicef and not candy?
- Camp Byway swimming - the pool within a pool - go figure.
- Did those swimming lessons help?
- How about the weekly walk to the library - wasn't that exciting?
- German in kindergarten? Good Grief we couldn't even hardly spell our
names in English yet! (JG: Yeah, Hans, but "kindergarten" is German. Come to
think of it "Hans" sounds like German too.)
Bob Sanders (Robert Adair)
- Did Mrs. Roche look like the Cat in the Hat, or what?
- Miss Mary's peanut butter and jelly sandwiches remain unrivaled.
- Wasn't the old elevator fun?
- Mr. George's room with the naked lightbulb was truly creepy.
- Still traumatized by thoughts of Ms. Bonsall in a bathing suit.
- Mrs. Millard had a real problem with chalk. Remember those gloves?
- Father Wilkes scared me into believing in God.
- Trips to the Pratt library were always a welcome change of scenery.
- Dress whites for May Day and the Maypole dance at Byway - the event of the year.
- G&SP made me dislike ribbons for any sort of achievement.
- Classmates.com is great. It would be wonderful for all of us to get back in touch.
John Gatti (John Ireland)
- Was I the only one to get dragged underneath that 50 mph merry-go-round
at Patapsco State Park?
- Mrs Rowley in the rectory - Mrs Rowley was kewl.
- Shrove Tuesday was cool (fire, heh heh). Walking around Ash Wednesday
with the ashes on our forehead from the shroves of Shrove Tuesday was fun.
- Who else but me thought the pool at Camp Byway was The Bomb? Boy did
I have fun in that pool. Actually it was a pool within a pool (thanks Hans, I had forgotten about that).
- Who saw enough "Madonna and Child" on Thursday mornings to last them
a lifetime?
- Were the guys from Gerstung with the medicine balls and the jump ropes
retards or what? Get your little medicine-ball-throwing, short-short wearing
concentration camp butts back in the van and out of my life!
- Mad props to the G&SP females who taught me how to do the "Cherry Drop".
- And thanks to Shirley Bayne for teaching me how to roller-skate.
- Illona I am really really sorry for tripping you that time.
- I still have psycho dreams sometimes about those buildings.
- Who makes kids take naps in a bowling alley? Could Miss
Miles-Hunkin snap her fingers loud or what?
- We were a bunch of Dodge Ball Freakazoids, tell the truth.
- Much love to all my Halloween-candy eating sisters and brothers who
barfed their guts out in the lobby waiting for Mom and Dad to pick them up.
- First John, then Martin, then Bobby.
