Following in Village Charm's and Mr. Smearcase's and Microbie's footsteps and writing about the decade. I haven't prepared as well as Microbie, so I am not sure how accurate or specific I will be able to be... Maybe I'll glance back at some entries while writing this?

Class size: 780 or so? Starting nearer 1000
