Fish-sticks every Friday at the school cafeteria...

LOL! Or "Pizzaettes".

For reasons unknown to me and to many of my classmates (we've discussed
this often... ), the fish lunches, in fact, all the cafeteria
food, was pretty good at Sheridan junior high, and cost us kids
twenty-five cents. When we moved on to Hillhouse high, the price went up
by a dime, but the quality went straight downhill. Normally on Fridays
at Sheridan, we had baked or broiled scrod or cod and occasionally
fishsticks, but not bad ones. At Hillhouse, it was always frozen
fishsticks and incredibly bad and bad smelling tartar sauce. To this
day, I cannot eat tartar sauce.

I am sure the Pope at the time had *nothing* to do with the decline in
school lunch quality.

Why are you complaining about subsidized school meals. For most of your
classmates it was probably the best meal of the day, if not the only
meal. Everyone wasn't born with a silver spoon like you were.
