USG Class of '74 here! I was very sad when they demolished the old building. I have lots of memories....not all good ones. I was there for a couple of riots. In fact, school as dismissed early on my birthday one year because of one. For the most part, though, it was fun and everyone got along during those rough times. The school districts were changed for my junior year and I was sent to Capitol Hill HS. There was a huge riot at several schools one day and my parents moved me to my aunt's house and I went to Western Heights for a few months till they could get a house in Grant's district. Fun times!!

[papaOU]

Many people from CHHS transferred to Western Heights when busing began in full earnest. Most had relatives living in that district and just used their address.

I went to work for Haskell Lemon which was down on N.E. 4th and Eastern (not mlk at that time) I drove a parts truck and often had to drive next to Douglas with regularity. Carried a couple of cans of starting fluid in the cab of the pickup with me. Luckily never had to use them.

I never was allowed to attend a football game in high school or do many after school activities because it wasn't safe. During the fall of 1974 after I had graduated in May there was a boy shot at Grant and if I remember right he died. It's a shame really, because high school is supposed to be the best time of our lives. I had Mrs. Baugh for English and Mrs. Baker and Mrs. Bentley for home economics classes. I'm enjoying reading this thread! It sure is bringing back some memories!

Capitol Hill and Douglas football game was played during the afternoon during this time period.

I just talked to my mom on the phone, she told me she just got her invitation in the mail to her 45th class reunion - USG Class of '65. She is so sad right now! She asked me how in the world did she get so old. I told her not to think of it as being old, but to think of it as being blessed that she's made it to the 45th.

I think her sorrow stems from being a Grant grad and not CHHS.
