I forgot all about that. I usually can remember that day because it was the day I graduated from high school, St. Petersburg High Florida. We were a long way from California, especially politics and anti-war demonstations since St. Pete was a very conservative retirement city of 200,000. The school was built in 1926 and from the outside it hasn't changed a bit since I was there, it's the oldest high school in Florida.
It was a public school and yet when we attended we had to wear dress shirts, dress pants, socks and dress shoes and no facial hair or long hair. I remember when the football team wanted to grow gotees just like a devil, we were the "Green Devils", they wouldn't allow it.
I remember driving by the school about five years later after I just got back from Korea and out of the Army, and the students were walking around in shorts, t-shirts, sandals and long hair. I guess I was one generation too soon.
