But is it really alternative, or the stuff they play today that is really just an alternative to pop music; it still sounds like pop and it's all over the radio and XM. How is that alternative? I remember when there was mainstream rock and alternative rock. |
Other Whitman senior pranks. I think one year tires were stacked all the way up the flagpole. Another year the administrative offices were flooded, and either the same year or a different year a skeleton was sitting at a piano in the front hall. Also I think once there was a Volkswagon in the foyer. True or did I dream it??? |
How about driving over the ford in rock creek park off beach?

You were in high school in the early 1980s, right? This is so familiar to me, especially Rally in the Alley and Rumours. |
No, in Maryland, starting in 1982, the cutoff to drink at 18 was July 1. If you were turning 18 after July 1, you had to wait until 21 to drink legally. Thus, as a member of the Wheaton class of 1982, half of my friends could drink and the other half couldn't. I and my best friend were born late in 1982, so we went to American Cafe in Friendship Heights and other DC bars. |
I know the VW was true as well as the tires on the flag poles - I saw them. Graduated in 77 but I lived across the street from the school so it could have been earlier. My senior year, they tried to paint/augment the dome to look like a boob. Giant paper machet __ipple in the middle and flesh tone paint. As I recall, they were caught part way and never finished. Prior year, somebody tapped into the PA system and put together a "radio program" that was broadcast over the PA system - it was great. Took them several hours to find it and disable it. The audio was really distorted but the effort was fantastic! |

Rockville was a long drive out in the country. No beltway. No Mcdonolds. Still farms in kensington and bethesda. |
Used to be able to ride a trolley from Rockville to dc. in the mid 1930s when i was in high school. Now at the age of 96 I am just happy to still be able to walk. |
