Page Two School Dance.

This is how my high school looked when I was there.

This is how part of it looks now.....lots of new building....including a swimming pool and an auditorium (we did our shows on the gym floor).

That bit of brick behind the new entrance is all you can see of the original building I posted.

That reminds me -- (but it's not nearly as bad) -- of my former junior high and high schools in Florida, in that the built-over additions over the years have made them appear so much less "open" or "welcoming". My junior high, in particular, looks like a prison fortress in comparison to its former self. It's really sad.

Well...in my case...it has been 50 years....so I suppose I should expect a few changes.....

Scary DR CHAS SMITH....but you are correct....many schools do look like places of incarceration.....I expect it will get worse before it gets better - unfortunately.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #35 on:** February 28, 2018, 08:03:03 AM »

50 years here, too, of course.

And yes, unfortunately, I think it's the nature of the beast these days.

There was another FB issue this morning.

I could not make an original text-only posting, even on my own website, unless I first uploaded a jpg. Then, it was okay.

I could comment on somebody else's posting, but not initiate my own.

A friend was having the same issue, so I know it wasn't me.

After I sent in a complaint to FB, nothing happened, so I posted a clown image on my page and, within four (4) minutes, the issue was solved.

I guess the image I posted was a "SUPER CLOWN".

Wednesday morning greetings! I've been to a meeting this morning that may result in my taking on a major volunteer project - or not. I have some research to do, along with some thinking...

DR Vixmom, I'm glad your cardiology appointment went well and that there's some follow-up taking place.

Last night I finished The Cat Who Could Read Backwards. Lillian Jackson Braun has a good handle on Siamese cats.

Add me to the 50-year club, high school graduation-wise. Our big dinner celebration will be August 17 in Plymouth, Michigan.

Here's the "campus" where I went to elementary (foreground) and high (background) schools. The buildings are connected and, by the time I returned from the mile-away junior high, the high school had taken over the second floor of the elementary building.

This morning I gave Thatch a sliver of ham ad when he laid it on the floor, it lay flat and he couldn't get an edge on it to take it into his mouth. Then, he pushed it over to the throw rug and with his paw flipped the ham onto the rug. The weave gave him a porous surface that he could use to access the food. Daddy's Boy is one smart kitty.

Okay thanks DR ELMORE - so it's something happening to someone else....they will fix it eventually

I blame it on DR CHAS SMITH for starting all of his activity on BookFace yesterday. He broke the inter webs.

It's back up.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #43 on:** February 28, 2018, 09:05:10 AM »

I posted DR DRUXY's clown, so perhaps mine will be up too....I shall go see.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #44 on:** February 28, 2018, 09:06:47 AM »

WOW DR GINNY that is a BIG school......

Jrand74 · « **Reply #45 on:** February 28, 2018, 09:07:14 AM »

DR DRUXY's clown worked....my BookFace is now normal....well....you know what I mean.

Our Reunion Dinner is April 20 with the Alumni Banquet on April 21.

AND for the first time since Prohibition in 1919, we will be able to by intoxicating beverages on the Sabbath here in Indiana. The governor is expected to sign the bill today....after 99 years of dry Sundays.

Thanks DR ELMORE! And yes animals can find ways to get things done - especially food things!

Yes, DR JRand. If the January and June graduating classes had been combined in 1968, there would have been over 1,000. In June, we had 755.

ASK BK (2 Parts)

Are IB Tech prints same as 3 strip technicolor?

When was the IB tech prints phased out?

No, not the same. Three-strip Technicolor was a filming process that involved a very large camera and three separate rolls of film. That was phased out around 1953 or 1954 with Eastman negatives.

IB Tech was a printing process, dye transfer. Films printed in that process were luminous and never faded, unlike Eastman printing, which did up until the introduction of low-fade prints in the late 70s/early 80s. The final two films printed in IB were The Godfather II and Chinatown. After that all the machines were sold to China, save for some in the UK, which continued to print dye transfer until the later 70s - so there are a few IB prints of things like Star Wars that were made in the UK.

Isn't it nice that we don't have to post clowns to post?

I went to the corner bodega and on my way back I ran into Val. He says that the elevator is essentially finished and tomorrow they will be inspecting it. Jesus, I do hope so!

Great photo, DR Ginny, and that looks like a very nice school complex.

Just heard from the guy who always oversees my books at Author House - no problems and the book is now in production. I was worried they might have something to say about the photos at the end, but they didn't, and I did solve the song quote thing all by my lonesome. So, that was nice to wake up to. Hopefully I'll see a galley and cover proof by mid next week.
