>I really don't remember if I was in 8A or 8B.
>We did switch classes for some subjects in 8th grade.That was mainly because Sister Andre, who started teaching 8B that year, got sick and had to leave. It sounds like you were in 8A, or had started the year in 8A such that we weren’t in the same classroom much.
>Sister Rosair (a monster)
Yes, she was something; monster is putting it mildly. I don’t remember what grade it was, but one day at recess she over heard me saying to Bobby Malloy, that if he didn’t stop doing whatever it was he was doing at the time, I wouldn’t give him anymore test answers when he needed them. Argh! I was only kidding, teasing him. It didn’t matter that I had never given him any answers, she immediately got the two of us and it was the third degree big time. I believe the final outcome was that my mark was deducted 20% and Bobby was given a zero.
Later, in the eighth grade, Rosair ‘volunteered’ me for some spelling bee in North Arlington. She insisted that I stay after school every day to prepare, I refused to, and usually skipped. My defiance was met with all sorts of crap from her, yet I refused to give in. I finally went to the spelling bee (I believe I went with Ellen Levaseur (sic)). Rosair would not allow me to ‘un-volunteer’, so I misspelled the first word they gave me, it was apparel. I spelled it PAIROFPEARS so that she’d know I did it on purpose.
My first thought on that was to spell it the same as the ‘A’ word that means rectum, but I chickened out on that idea.
