I forgot when the rules were changed, but all through junior high and
high school in New Haven, fish was the entree on Fridays. Huge Catholic
population. Pretty good fish, too. Of course, up the hill in Amity, I'm
sure the fish was served on a special sauce.

Still most schools around here serve fish on Friday as well as most
of the resturaunts
Well, I was always thankful to the Catholics for the fish. I remember well
the "tasty" fishsticks, but, more often, we had baked cod and sometimes
salmon patties. School lunches, heavily subsidized, were about 35 cents in
junior high and 75 cents in high school. Complete, hot lunches every day.
Plain food, but no junk food. Nothing fancy. In high school, we'd
sometimes sneak out and walk a long, long block to an Italian deli for a
sub. Doing so was "verboten," but one day we saw the assistant principal
there, ordering his sub. We promised not to tell and he promised not to
discipline us. Whew! :-
And the food at Yale?- Hide quoted text -

We had a Dairy Queen and a 7-11 less than 500 yards from the school,
plenty of woods inbetween to avoid getting caught and tobacco barns to
climb up in if you were being chased. The asst. prin, did not climb up
there to see who it was...

Yea, well at our school the asst. principal was out back smoking a
joint. We bribed him into paying us $1000 every quarter not tell report
him to the principal.
