<div>I entered Moscow High in the Fall of 1965, therefore I would not be listed in the year book for the Class of 1965, which comes out in the Spring, as we all know.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I do not have a 1966 year book, and I do not recall if I was listed that year. Probably.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>However, I recall attending classes in what is now the 1912 building. One French class with Madam Cheetham (as we called her), for example, was held just inside the entrance to the east end, and I also recall a class held upstairs. I'm not sure when classes in that building were totally stopped, but they were certainly being held in the 1965-66 school year.

<div>I don't recall the 1912 building being especially cold, nor any major problems crossing Third St. on ice...After four years of running cross country for Moscow High, routinely doing 7-12 mile runs over sidewalks, streets, country gravel roads, through cold, snow and ice regardless, how much trouble could it be to walk across Third St, and cold class rooms were a minor inconvenience, well except on days like December 30, 1968 (explanation below). I don't ever recall being afraid of entering the building. The coaches, teachers, counselors, advisers and principle could inspire pure terror, however. Like when a group of independent minded students produced an "underground" journal distributed freely throughout the school, titled "Cerberus," from Greek mythology, the three headed dog guarding the entrance to Hades. A few of the brightest minds at the school penned script that shamed most of the copy in the established rag, the Wocsomonian. It appeared the administration did not appreciate our witty and bold endeavor to satirize certain members of the faculty, nor certain other explorations of free thought. Indeed, our journal was aptly named, given that the guards to the gate of hell wished to keep that entrance under close monitoring. We were hauled into the principles office for a lecture, and the copies of the journal still out for taking in the halls were seized. Our experiment in free speech and thought was assimilated and morphed into a school club, producing a journal called "The Word," but the thrill was gone.

<div>Check the 1969 Moscow High year book for the Word Club photos on page 85...There is no mention of the fact that this club was a censored version of what had been an independent student literary and political journal, "Cerberus." History is written by the victorious.

<div>I was a student at Moscow High when the record coldest temperature was recorded for Moscow, minus 42 F. on December 30, 1968. The 1912 building was probably cold that day, though it was winter break:</div>

<div>If Ted was there, why wasn't he listed in the Class of 1965 then? Was he just missed?</div>
