Message:: [QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 906703, member: 24633"]Good-hearted rebelliousness the Class of 65 way At Richard Montgomery High School in Rockville, Maryland, we took it upon ourselves to organize Senior Skip Day as a swim party to be held at Dickerson Quarry. The farmer who owned the land surrounding the quarry had a 40-acre field along the road that was filled with stumps and large rocks. We needed the field for parking, and the farmer agreed to let us take down his wire fence and use it if we cleared all of the rocks and stumps. We arranged for the utility company (PEPCO) to run electric on temporary poles to the quarry (about 1/4 mile from the road) so that we could use it for the bands and food trailers. One of my classmates was the son of a Montgomery County Police Sergeant, and he arranged to have off-duty deputies to provide traffic control. More than 20,000 kids showed up from the District of Columbia, Maryland and Northern Virginia. That was a great day! Chris[/QUOTE]
