Al Johnson, Class of 1964, comment:
Are the senior members of the 1964 football team digitally-challenged?
Ah, the glories of cyberspace and....time. After over forty years a mere mortal can finally take his cracks at the pampered Goliaths of the gridiron from the Class of 1964. Why? After a couple of run throughs of the list of class members on this site (Classmates) I noticed an absence of the names of those heroic figures. Furthermore, from the lack of any illustrious names at all on the North Quincy Alumni site, apparently the skill level necessary to Google that site is something on the order of that of quantum physics to these behemoths. Let me give my take on this situation.
Do not get me wrong, I spend many an enjoyable Saturday afternoon watching and screaming my head off as the lads did their business, especially that final victory over arch-rival Quincy High in November, 1963. The problem is what they did the rest of the week. Those six periods of gym per day must have been exhausting. Those 'study' halls must have really taxed their abilities. Moreover, being fed the victor's grapes by nubile young women (translation for any "politically incorrect" fossils from the class; girls, chicks or, uh, broads) atrophied their mental capacities. Take my word for it, these things have a cumulative effect and so today we have a whole subculture of aging men who are unable to click the ON button on a computer. If I were any of these now senior seniors I would be mad as hell at Coach Leone. I believe a law suit is in order. And furthermore...
...Oops, I just had a flashback of a phalanx of some irate senior guards and tackles led by "Woj" coming after me and my smart mouth through this screen. Hey guys, I was just kidding. Okay? But to be on the safe side I think that I will click the OFF button now.
