It was a very ugly time for the southside schools. Things were very
polarized and there was very little "school pride" during that time.

I have very fond memories of my years at Roosevelt Jr. High but busing,
racial violence and white flight pretty much ruined my high school
experience...

Don't get me wrong... I think that it was very big in bringing the races
together and bringing down racial barriers but it was not without some very
difficult times along the way.
That's a sad story. Honestly, I think it would have been better to bus the
teachers. Making students face, and unreasonably, their foes was not a
good idea. Judge Bohannon didn't think past his nose.

Yo Southside Girl, you don't have to worry with us. We'll treat you almost
like a human, even if you did attend that mythical school called CHSH!

Ask Soonergirl26. She's returned every time!

WAIT A MINUTE! You said "class of '75!" You ain't old enough to have any
memories. Good Grief!
