Flash back to 1979 / 1980

A "boy" in my grade school class posted this photo on facebook. This is my home room class {I think there were four} and although I recognize most of the faces not all the names are coming to this "old" brain of mine. I am in the first seated row, third one on the left, with a bright pink shirt on. I went to Acton Elementary School for Junior High {6th through 8th} and when I went back to the area for my 20 year High School reunion this school was closed and no longer being used. It made me sad. So many memories came flooding back when I looked at this photo. I remember exactly where it was taken, playing in the huge grass field in the back of the school, running for office {and not getting elected, I think that was the end of my political career}, being in the school play, playing on the bars, having a "steady" boyfriend who's name I don't remember but avoiding him at all costs, hanging out with Kathleen, trying out for cheer leading {didn't make that either}, and memorising parts of the constitution in order to pass 8th grade {which I don't remember now, of course}.
