I remember the strangest things about junior high and high school.
- I remember funny, random moments and antics from fellow students.
I remember the decor in certain classes and random things that certain teachers said. I have to admit that when it comes to academics, it seems that many things went in one ear and out the other. Only snatches of random facts seemed to stick. However, there is one thing that I remember with fondness: the heating system at my school. In the Midwest, where my school was located, extreme temperature shifts throughout the year are the norm. I really have to give it to whoever chose that furnace and the ones who installed it. In the dead of winter, my classes felt toasty! Classes felt so warm that sometimes, the teacher would have one of us crack open a window or two to let in some fresh, cold air! I would be able to take my jacket off and still be perfectly comfortable! The lunchroom was similarly comfortable, but not quite as cozy in the winter. There were double doors that led outside that people were going in and out of sometimes, and the space was much larger and more cavernous, making it more difficult for the furnace to heat it efficiently. Still, no one was freezing, just maybe a little chilly. However, the coziest and toastiest place in the whole school campus was the auditorium. Anytime we would gather for a long length of time, whether it was to listen to a speaker or watch some sort of presentation, I like many other kids ended up passing out and sleeping due to the warmth and comfort of the auditorium!
