Balancing Albert

Albert was our class' shining star when it came to brilliance. As fate would have it, Class of '65 also housed probably the dumbest student to ever make the Honor Roll in the history of C.H.S. - Merle Reuser. Check out the initials.  While Albert excelled at Math, Chemistry, Physics and the likes, Merle was welding nails to Mr. Beltramini's or Mr. Nunn's possessions in metal or wood shop. How did he pull this off? By taking Wood and Metal Shop as a Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior, automatic A's were GIVEN to Shop IV students. If a sport was played another automatic A for P.E. By walking through the Shop and Gym doors, three A's were already on the report card. Geometry was a Sophomore class. The only thing remembered over fifty years detached from that class? What does an acorn say when it grows up? Geometry :). So that's how it's done, Albert.We'll set aside a place for Albert and Merle to swap stories about G.P.A.s and Solids June 27th.
