I was lucky to have had only one bully. I was in 6th grade and he was in 3rd but he was actually larger than I was and a lot meaner. He beat me up during recess once and only once but that was enough for me to learn to avoid him. Later in high school I got to where we were friends but not best friends. I use to play at his home because he had a brother the same age as I and we were pretty good friends. Anyway I guess the only other bullies were the seniors in high school. We had 7th through 12th grades in our school and the seniors always liked to pick on the 7th grader. We had one hall where the stairs were actually a ramp from one floor to the next and were in a U shape with the sides and top open to the rest of the ramp and the seniors held me upside down over the top of the rail once but I was so small it wasn't much of a task and then someone else reminded them that my mother was a teacher so they ought to think twice about it. It never happened again either.

Tell about your school year calendar.
I suppose we had calendars but I don't remember ever really using them. In elementary school we would have Halloween carnivals each year near Halloween and we would get out for Thanksgiving and Christmas breaks. We would have a couple of days in Sept or Oct for UEA. (Utah Education Association) Teachers were supposed to go to meetings in Salt Lake City but it was mostly just a couple of days out of school. We never had any Teacher Preparation Days and we generally started after Labor Day and ended before Memorial Day. In High School we would add the dances to the calendar. Usually a Home Coming dance after some basketball game and a Jr and Sr Prom in the spring. We would have a yearbook signing day just before the end of the year and Graduation on the last day of school for everyone. We would have basketball games on friday nights in Jan and Feb and wrestling meets, track meets and a few other sports mixed into the schedule through the year. That I guess was our calendar.
