Im so old on the way to school, My buddies and I would hide one of our dad’s “girlie “ magazines in the woods behind school so one of our other junior high buddies could pick it up in the afternoon to enjoy that night.

PS. I’m old enough to remember when Grades 7, 8, and 9 were considered junior high.
