The best I can remember about Spring break was getting to Hunt Easter Eggs. I think we might have gotten out of school the Friday before Easter?????that my folks was Spring Break for the kids at Chester A. Arthur for a Long time....Hope everyone is having a good time.....

We didn't really have money to go anywhere, so my sister and I just relished the break from schoolwork. I did, however, often end up going (at least in high school) to the regional speech and debate tournament over the break since it fell during that time. That was always a blast--got to stay in a hotel, met new people, saw old friends from far away schools, kicked the pants off other schools in CX debate. Memories.

I still love staying in hotels, mostly because I think it was such a rare thing for me when I was younger!

Now that I'm older, spring break more or less means spring cleaning, and I can catch up on sleep and housework that gets pushed aside since teaching kind of takes over my life the rest of the time!

Hi Bandnerd!!

Went to stay on the farm. I loved it.

I went to a beach in Florida a couple times and also a beach on the Texas Gulf a couple times.

I didn't always make it back to school on time, but I had lots of fun!

My wife taught speech and debate. I often had the job of judging when they were short a judge. I HATED judging CX. It still gives me a headache when I think about the pace and the "cadence" the participants would set up. Yikes! It is hard enough to judge speech, but add "speed-talk" and it is a laid-back kind of guy's private little hell.

By the way, being a "Class of '66" geezer, I can tell you in no uncertain terms, there was no Spring Break when I was in school. And had there been, we were too poor to go anywhere other than my uncle's farm. Until I was married a few years, vacation was ALWAYS staying with relatives or camping out on the ground at the lake.

Yup. AND WE LIKED IT!!! <vbg>

Spring Break? I thought that only happened in the movies, i.e. "Where the
Boys Are", "Palm Springs Weekend".
