Calendar Collage: September

What the mashed potatoes????(I'm being polite).  What happened to August I ask. Even my garden caught me by surprise when I realized the Shasta Daisies were spent and the Cone Flowers were definitely past their prime. I just don't remember seeing it all happen. Oh well, Fall is after all my favorite time of year - just hope I get to enjoy it before its suddenly the big C (ugh, there are decorations in the store already)!

September, of course, means back to school for many. I always remember my first day of my first year of high school (grade nine and no, that was NOT 1953, snork). I was pretty nervous. Principal looks very no nonsense, administrative type don't you think?

I had made clothes for the year (or at least embellished a few things as I recall) that summer to be ready. I am sure the Lunch Ladies were prepared for us too - obviously resting up before all the young hooligans descend on them.

Our cheerleaders were not quite as prim and proper as these ones - but I remember driving by the high school and seeing them practice out front in late August. Even remember one of their chants "Let's go rocka rocka and a cha cha cha" how funny.

And just like this high school, we a had a very young and quite nice music teacher....and a plethora of science, math and geography teachers I never understood (ESPECIALLY math).

I don't remember a safety patrol - I'm a little concerned there are no boys on this one! But I am sure these young ladies are well prepared.

Then there were the clubs - I think I would have liked to join this one - very progressive I would say! Though no one is wearing safety glasses...and I can't see being in the workshop with my frock on can you?

And certainly this one - do you think it was some kind of early precursor to the computer club - the description reads.... the main purpose is to learn how to operate and take care of the visual aids machines...oh my, how far we have come! And the one young lady grinning who is looking directly at the camera - I think she would be my best friend LOL.... 

My retro calendar spread for this month is ready to be filled. Enjoy. Jewels
