One of the things I member about high school

[BlackSnake]

I was 3rd seat A team in my high school chess club. You might think we were a bunch of geeks. Well, some where, but six out of ten currupted the other four.

Free to do just about anything, because for the most part we were under the radar. We went to the state turnament the three years I was no the team.

We didn't were sport jackets unless the turnament was held at our school. We looked like hold overs from the sixties. Long hair, african-styled shirts (dashiki), Levis, and Chuck Taylors.

When we walked out on other campuses, no one questioned us, because we had the topped ranked team. What we were doing was smoking joints the size of cigars, the cuban type.

The only people who really knew we were on the chess team was those people who listened to the Monday morning announcements, which wasn't many. They would call out our names and ranking in the USCF. Nobody knew what the hell it was about. Our sponsor (a teacher) didn't care what we did, most of the time he was trying to become a better chess player.

All our parties were packed with students who wouldn't normally speak to each other. Being in the south and all. We always had plenty of smoke and drink.

The assistant principle loved us, because on our consistant winning record. We had a "Get out of Class Free" card. We got away with more stuff than cheerleaders, because the assistant principle was in our pockets.

We use to go to Pensacola Beach, FL while everyone were in class. Don't you know, girls loved that. By the way, my high school was in Mobile, AL

I always find it interesting to think about the way we were then and what has happened since. I did skip my twenty year reunion this summer when the one person I would have wanted to hang out with at it cancelled his trip.

Snake, your story rang bells for me about jazz ensemble and the newspaper. Like you said, geek stuff.

But the jazz band was filled with creative people who have gone on to do well in life. I distinctly remeber how open to experimentation and new ideas we were, especially compared to other "cliques" at school.

One of my fellow editors on the newspaper was Margita Thompson. She is now Guv'ner Arnie's press secretary.

It was during that time that I started to find white females attractive. There was only one other black guy on our team. Mixed races didn't normally hang out together, except for us.

When we went to the beach, several white girls came with us. I didn't have a car, so I ended up in the back seat with a couple of girls.

I got setup with a girl that had really nice tits, but a flat ass. I didn't get to screw her, but we made out heavily. I started chasing white girls after that.

I think there's a thread on being stuck at the high school level. I swear I was 17 until I turned 40.
