Can you describe the social hierarchy of your school and the place of you and your sisters in terms of jocks, popular kids etc.
So one of your grandchildren is wondering if you can describe the hierarchy of your school from a social standpoint. So the you know in terms of sort of the jocks, the popular kids, you mentioned earlier like mover and shaker. So if you could describe sort of the different groups within I guess your school and then where you found your place within it. Okay well I have to go back to elementary school. I was starting in fourth grade you picked the president. So I was president fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth. But did you have to run every every year? And so they picked a girl. So but that's amazing. Yeah so maybe maybe talk about that a little bit more. I'm just telling you that there was no question that they selected me as a girl. Well when I went to high school I was the president throughout vice president because there had never been a girl president until two years after I graduated. So that tells you, right, but maybe before you move on from that. Do you remember what motivated you to run in the first place in fourth grade? Well I don't want to brag about myself. It's not bragging. It's not bragging. I think it was almost sort of just a foregone conclusion that you were gonna get stuff done for people and that you were relatively and that you were well-liked. Yeah okay I don't think that's I don't think that's I don't think that's bragging. But in high school we did run like Grace was my owner Grace was secretary so then we had another friend and she would put up publications or one like one good term deserves another. That's a good that's a good person and then when you were president and vice president of your senior class anytime there was an assembly those two people walked the president would hold the flag. I would walk next to him and he walk up on the stage. Wow that's great. Okay so what what about what else about and I did not have a very big you know wasn't like these hundreds of classes. Right so but how okay and so how would you describe the social hierarchy of the school like did people separate into groups like the jocks were here and well yeah I would say the college prep people were only about 12 or 13 you know this is these are depression days. I don't think it was a click like it was no bullying I don't remember anybody ever putting anybody down but we were a group like at lunch time we'd be together we'd do silly things you know but I don't remember anybody belittling it might have happened bullying but that does not come to mind
