2. Who was Captain Penny? (His real name, and what he did, please.)

3. On the weekends, if we had a car, we might go up to the drive-in restaurant at the corner of Chagrin and Warrensville. The place to be on Friday and Saturday nights was .

4. "InCumSineExDeAbPro." (As I recall, those are the prepositions that use the Accusative case.) He was our favorite Latin teacher in junior high. Then he learned enough to follow us on up to high school to teach Latin and yes... Greek. With great fondness and immense respect, I remember . (Bonus question: What song did we sing, in Latin, to our fellow students? ) (Bonus, bonus challenge: Conjugate "terrar" in the present tense... in less than 3 seconds.)

5. Who made a question out of Parma? Parma??!! (All right, we all know that... but what was his real name? And on what station did he appear? And where did we last hear from him? )

6. In December, we'd go downtown to see the huge Christmas tree inside the department store. 7. She never let you chew gum in class or throw your tissues in the waste basket at the front of the room. And even in winter, she might open the windows to let in some fresh air. If we seemed slow or a little sluggish, she'd march us all around the room to wake us up. In room 254 of the "new edition," you'd find my favorite Spanish teacher, . 8. In our sophomore year, we performed Thornton Wilder's play, . One scene was turned into a comedy by a delightful performance from a supposed member of the audience, played by .

10. At the pep rally before the football game with Heights, Coach would show us his .

11. In the choral concert of our junior year, who forgot the words to "I Remember it Well"? (Hint: You can find him in the "Fourth Grade" picture at the end of the exam.)

12. Surely you can name the junior high school you attended. But there were two junior highs: and And no doubt you recall the name of your elementary school as well. But can you name all nine elementary schools in Shaker Heights when we were growing up?

13. One of our elementary school classmates gained fame (or more accurately, dreadful infamy) when, in 1969, he walked into the Shaker Heights Police Department, set a box down on the desk, walked out, then walked back in ... and blew himself and the entire police department building to pieces. Do you remember his name? (Hint: You can find him in the "Fourth Grade" picture, too - strange coincidence, isn't it? Or is it?)

14. The other Latin teacher used to pretend her desk was a Roman fort when she acted out Caesar's Gaelic Wars for us. ("Omnium Gallium is dividius in tres partis."???) Albeit quite uncharacteristic of her, that is my strongest recollection of . (The picture here won't help you identify her. It's from her college yearbook. But I got such a kick out it, I simply could not resist. Can you imagine what Marshall Cohen would have done with this 30 years ago?!) 15. If you had any serious disciplinary problem (such as being late for class), your first stop was the basement for a not-so-friendly visit with . Behind his back (way behind his back), we used to call him .

16. When you played the radio, you might have listened to one of two local AM rock n' roll stations, 1420 or 1260 on the dial. Or, you might have tuned into a Detroit station (which was actually in Windsor, Ontario, at 800 on the dial.) Do you remember the call letters of these three stations?

17. Great, but can you name five disk jockeys at any of these stations?

18. During both lunch periods, Assistant Principal (at the left) roamed the halls keeping order. 19.

23. When we were growing up, there were two movie theaters in Shaker Heights. They were . (No, the third one was not actually in Shaker Heights.) During our junior year, the band was asked to play outside one of these theaters for the premier of a movie starring Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau. Filmed partially in Cleveland, the movie was titled .

24. The colorful "leader of the band" was . But to those of us who knew him well, he was affectionately known as . 25. Every spring, the theater and music departments put on a musical. In our senior year, we performed . 26. On a special weekend night when you were a kid, your parents might take you to a restaurant up at Shaker Square, where, if you cleaned your plate, you could pick out a toy from the toy box at the front of restaurant. 27. This will take you back: Long before Oprah, and even before Phil Donahue became famous, hosted a local television show on channel that later was syndicated all across the country. He was also the first host to book a very, very young Tiger Woods as a guest. In early 1966, he had a hit song called .

28. I was scared to death of only one teacher in high school. And sure enough, in my senior year, he was my English teacher. When you did something of which he did not approve, he wrote a note about you in the blue book that he kept in the upper, right corner of his desk. But if he liked you, he would invite you to his house for dinner. (Thankfully, I was never asked. Do you remember who was?) But, to this day, I do remember that "periods and commas go inside quotation marks." In fact, I have drilled it into several hundred of my own students. And I am a much better writer because of the skillful guidance of . 29. And then there was that ridiculous incident when, to show their defiance, a few of our classmates decided to protest something or other by burning their .

31. Of course, Shaker Heights was named after the religious sect, the Shakers. But are generally credited for developing the city of Shaker Heights.

32. The beginning of summer marked the opening of the amusement park downtown on Lake Erie. But in 1969, they closed the gates forever at . What were a few of your favorite rides at the park?

33. It started out as just a sledding hill near the corner of Farnsleigh and Warrensville. And what fun we had there during the winters! But about the time we hit junior high, they added a huge swimming pool, tennis courts, and later an indoor skating rink; and many of us spent our summers up at .

34. Just before we entered high school, a national magazine published a special issue titled, "Where Americans Live Best," featuring the wealthiest communities in the country. To say the least, it was a slight exaggeration: "At Shaker Heights High School there is an enormous special parking area for student cars which, on a good day, looks like an outdoor version of the 1963 Automobile Show, while the nearby faculty parking area looks like a truck-route used-car lot." Yeah, right! I never knew how well off I was until I read about it in magazine.

35. She taught history, and was the sponsor of the history club. But outside of school, she led a much more exciting life... and I have the pictures to prove it. Can you provide the name? 36. If you were a baseball fan, you were a little too late to root for Bob Feller, and way too early for Albert Belle.

37. All right sports fans, let's see what you remember: every fall the sports editor of the Plain Dealer would run a column encouraging high school coaches not to cut eager players from the football team. Let 'em sweat, let 'sit on the bench, said the dynamic sports editor, . (And as I recall, our coach obliged. Why, it was so convincing, I almost tried out for the team myself. But I wisely decided not to abuse the privilege.)

39. And the name of our school newspaper was .

40. If you took the Van Aken leg of the rapid transit to school, you got off at the exit. If you rode the other one, you'd get off at .

41. At the right is our head librarian, apparently presiding over a department meeting. Do you recognize her in the thinly veiled disguise (the huge smile on her face)? 42. When I was in junior high, I looked up to the quarterback on the high school football team, Al Ippolito. By my senior year in high school, the quarterback was just another kid running loose with a Bunsen burner in my physics class. His name was .

43. Our sports teams were a members of the League. Easy enough, but name six other high schools in the league:

44. Where did Mr. Jing-a-Ling hang out? 45. In our senior year, nobody got a "pass" on final exams; we all took them. (What do you think this is, anyway?) How long did we have to suffer through each exam? 46. And finally, who was it that told us every day in the morning announcements to "have a nice day"?

The next series of questions is for Sussex students only; the rest of you are excused from this part, and can skip down past question 58.

The Sussex School Extension Exam:

OK, you can relax now. Scroll down through the credits and bonus pictures below, add your name and e-mail address... and you'll be done.

Hershel Chicowitz is a baby bomber and proud graduate of the Shaker Heights High School Class of '67. No, you won't find his name in the directory; Hershel is not his real name. For now, he'd rather keep you guessing. If he didn't find a compromising picture of you, or in some other manner, find a way to embarrass you, it is just because he ran out of time, not because he didn't care. His first baby boomer offering was "The Official Baby Boomer Qualifying Exam," which is also available here at BBHQ.

This is dedicated to my mother, who inspired all my nuttiness... or most of it, anyway. If you knew her, you never forgot her. This is not her best pose, but I don't think she'd mind being remembered this way.

You can run, but you can't hide:
