Mr Owens was the coolest teacher. No wonder he became mayor of Orland Park. I remember Mr Stind in music who was relieved of his dutuies and replaced with Mr (killer) Kowalski. I must admit that high school was definately one of my funnest time in life and encourage EVERYONE to graduate. Don't quit school. If you quit at this young age what else will you give up on in life?? As an employer I will not hire quitters. Here in South Africa it's another story. Enjoy the quality of education you get in America. Is the "Cool Gang" still around?? Joe
