Young America


There was this PE teacher at Dodson when I was there and this guy had been there from the 1960’s. He was tough and you could always hear him pressing his classes to dig harder in their runs by yelling “Come on Young America!” Junior High PE definitely is killer, and seeing those kids out on the yard took me back. I actually got caught in the middle of a stampede of high school and jr high school runners. Of course the junior high kids made the older kids look bad.

  1. Mr. McMillan! Come on young America! 15 4-count burpies, now! Thanks for the memory.

    • No problem. Thank’s for reminding me what his name was. I always had Ms. Nielsen who called me Valerie (don’t ask me why). But my favorite was Mr. Ormsby.
