Columbus North 50th Reunion

My wife and I attended the 50th reunion of her class from Columbus North. The reunion get-togethers were held at several places on the north side of Columbus in the Polaris area. The finale on Saturday night was at The Lakes CC. Very posh. No head-banger music - very piano bar mellow. I was nice to see how other classes do it. In reviewing their handouts, it was interesting to see how many of their gradates, both male and female, held professional degrees. A very respectable group indeed.

Columbus North, just off North High Street on Aacadia, became an administrative center. Now it is called a swing school. This means that they hold classes there when there are space issues at other schools. Back in the day, many if not most of their students walked to school.

I did my student coaching [baseball] at Columbus North as part of my teaching certificate from Ohio State.
