In second-year French, at Redondo High, a cat sauntered into the room, jumped onto a table at the front of the room, and started preening himself, to our chuckles and giggles. The teacher commented, _“C’est un chat classique”_ (He’s a classic cat"), and finally decided to put him out.

On the day after Election Day in 1966, in government class, first period, one of the other teachers had had all the students’ desks sneaked out of the room, amusing our teacher–a Reagan supporter. The other teacher had also had the word “Brown” (as in Pat Brown, the incumbent, Jerry Brown’s father) taped to the floor, in textbook cover paper. A picture of the scene appears in our 1967 yearbook.

At a baseball game played at Redondo, the home pitcher served a pitch which the visiting batter hit as a foul that went out of the field. It struck the windshield of a parked car, which happened to belong to the pitcher’s girlfriend!  
Post something amusing that happened at _your_ school… 😃

I’ll not have you sully the good name of **dougie\_monty** ’s h:15 Original Amusing incidents Thread when it is in fact **dougie\_monty** ’s h:18 Amusing incidents Thread that is the offending duplicate!
