One of my other great memories from junior high:
Yes, they were going to start a girls basketball team for Arlington-Green Isle schools. I was in 8th grade and I had myself a new friend (Carolbethyname). We hit it off immediately when we saw each other - inseparable! So, who better to join the team with! Practice would begin this Monday, anyone who wanted to come and join was welcome. We sat there on those hard bleachers, Carol and I. We were going to make a difference for all of the girls across America. The "coach" talked to us about what the year would entail and how important it was going to be to work together as a team. Many girls were sitting there right along side us preparing themselves for this new adventure in our school. We were really in to this, ready to be a "team player". Our "coach" announced (with great excitement in her voice) that we would be starting out our memorable year with 10 laps around the gym. Well, I'll be if something didn't stir in me so deep I thought I was going to toss a cookie right there! What the heck! I wasn't going to be running around no gym for anyone! Not for the sake of A-GI Junior high, or for girls across America! The Presidential Fitness Awards plan we did every year was quite enough running for me! So, we took our running legs and ran right out the door.

Haha!! I remember this like it was yesterday. I tried to encourage you to at least make the first lap and then we could scoot out the door unnoticed. But nope, you wanted out NOW, and I followed right behind you! I wonder if Mrs. Ebersviller remembers that?! We were two peas in a pod ... both fat and sassy!
