In 1972 four friends of mine bought a page in the HS yearbook (Dallas, W. T. White and yes it was – people of color had to be imported) so that they could make some incomprehensible references to things that only they knew what the meaning of was. And, of course, a nonsense poem written on a scrap of ruled paper where the lines were at an angle. Which should have been the give-away considering these guys. If you actually looked at one of the lines, you could easily make out ‘DISD fucks shit’. This tragically went unnoticed until after the YB was distributed. For three of the guys, there was nothing the authorities could do, esp. since one had already dropped out to start college. However, for Tommy, they could deny him his scholarship. Poor Tommy. He was not able to go to that small Christian school and instead had to settle for MIT.
