| On a Wednesday afternoon during my 11th grade year, I think, I walked
down to St Blaise. While there, I noticed a freight train at the station.
Being of an adventurous mind, I asked the engineer if he was going into
St. Jean, and if so, could I ride in the engine. He was, and I did - it
was a great ride. After arriving, I went downtown and looked around - I
don't remember exactly what I did 42 years ago. My next concern was getting
back to Feller before supper so as not to be missed. I hitch-hiked, getting
two rides; one to the turn-off from the highway, and one to the village.
From there, I walked back, arriving in time for supper. I don't remember
any reprecussions happening to me for my 'outing'. |
| My only other memory of note was being 'in-charge' of cleaning the
Chemistry Lab. To do this I had all the keys - door + chemical cabinet.
So, again being adventurous, I took a small piece of sodium, which burns
in the air, from the lab each week. (Mr Cram could never figure out how
the volume kept getting smaller without any experiments being done). Anyway,
I took the purloined piece out behind the barn to watch it burn.. I don't
remember ever being caught - probable because the lab was in the basement
of the Gym building - 'out-of-sight, out-of-mind'! |
