ok that's it
this started as a comment to jamie's last comment on my last comment on deane's entry of course...but it became long...and i sound like a bitch, but it must be said:
if by some time you mean one day then yes, that is until we all became dizzy from the smell emanating from.....the students!....seriously, i remember cringing as i walked in and asking my teacher 'how long do we have to stay here?' ....and lemme tell you, we got mad individual attention since we ate with our classes...not just shoved into some loud cafeteria...and we got papa ginos pizza every friday...and that auditorium was gorgeous and old, the only decent auditorium in the town...
the lowell was the first elementary school in watertown, it started as a one-room school house, which is now the north-branch library...
insulting our "cafetorium" because it was a beautiful auditorium not originally designed for students to eat at school, cos back in the day kids either went home or brought their lunch, is like calling the colliseum worthless because it didn't have a paved race-car track...
but, as was appropriate, lowell kept with the times and completely renovated and doubled in size.
and um....look at all the schools now? which is the biggest? the nicest? rests upon a stately hill which also houses the three famous trees the highschoolers paint on? has two parks, two sledding hills? retains its colonial new england look while offering the best of what's new? that's right, lowell.
and besides me and greg, no lowellers have stooped so low as to feel they even need to involved themselves in this argument (i'm just sick of hearing about hosmer), so don't say we lowellers don't have class.
i still love the kids hosmer produced, just have to say that they're school has nothin' on lowell.
and that's all i'm gonna say about that. watertown pride! 19 days!!! aaaaaaaaaaaah!
