Looking back, teenage thoughts in 1967

1967. I had taken a year off from full-time college (I did take a couple of night classes) to work full-time to make enough money for a European adventure.

My thoughts were on slogging through until I could fly off and have adventures. And then my thoughts were to make my money last long enough to have LOTS of adventures. And how cheaply I could live during those adventures.
 
I started high school in 1967 at 13 years old in a school of 1800 kids. My public school was all in one room school houses. It was a major culture shock but it was also great. I always liked school but high school was a whole new experience. I had never seen so many girls in one place.
