I remember seeing in the halls of my Jr. High School a big poster saying "Time will pass but will you?"

Mine is The Bayside Bears

What was Scranton's mascot Kly? What were your school colors?
Mine was red and black. Funny thing, the middle school I work at now has the same school colors. smile

Isn't there a professional team called the Vikings Olivant? Seems like a Michigan team maybe???? Then you know how much I know about sports.

We didn't really have a mascot, but our colors were purple and gold.

It was a Jesuit high school, still only one of two in PA. Our sports teams did very well while I was there. I didn't play football, but the team won the Eastern State Championship, which was as far as you could go then. For the postseason games a student dressed in a full cavalier costume and rode a horse on the track behind the sidelines.

UK schools don't have anything like cool names or mascots which is a shame. Any school team i played for was just called the first team.

Boring ohwell

Back when we were children all teams (except the Red Sox and Whits Sox) ended with the letter "s." No more.

Ahh, you're a Jesuit boy, like me. Fordham was the alma mater of Gordon Liddy, I believe.

Our college name was the Royals. We were purple and white. We won a Division III national championship in basketball in a game, played in Wisconsin. Before the game most of us ate at a Burger King where someone got the idea of wearing the paper crowns to the game (like low budget Royals). The game was aired on ESPN and the analyst made some cracks about our crowns throughout the game.

Things may have changed however,my 2 eldest boys who play football (outside of school) have names for their teams now.

Andrew plays for the Longbenton Mags and Mikey plays for the Longbenton Lions.

I had to search for this thread because I was in Manhattan early this morning. I think I've posted about my 97 year old aunt in the past. The woman is amazing. She owns an 8 family walkup apartment building on West 8th Street in Greenwich Village and she's still very much hands on. Every bit the landlady. I do, however, help her out with a good portion of the legal issues (namely landlord-tenant issues).

Anyway, this morning I get down there at about a quarter to seven. She has my breakfast on the table, which was great. But here's the reason for the post: She still uses old jelly jars as drinking glasses! Does any one remember this but me and my insane (often frugal) Italian family?

I guess before disposable cups and tupperware became so widely available, people were less likely to throw glass containers away? I'm sure TB could give me an answer.

97 years old. Very fortunate in terms of her financial situation. And still serving orange juice out of an old jelly jar lol.

Only in America.

PB, what a great lady. I had an aunt much like yours. She was 90 years old and lived like a lady half her age. Shortly after she turned 91 she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She opted out of all the usual treatments saying she has lived a great life and whatever would be would be. She passed away within months - but what a lady! She baked her world famous choco chip & walnut cookies and made her delicious nut gravy weeks before she passed. I will always remember her giving me tons of drawing paper, pens and pencils to feed my love of cartooning. She was a frugal Italian lady who worked for the City of Chicago. Whenever they were going to throw away old letterhead paper or an outdated form, she would have the janitors save it "for her nephew who was going to be a famous cartoonist someday." She was great and I'll always remember her frugal, youthful zest for life. I love having those experiences and memories of the past generation. smile
