It was a townhouse with an elevator converted into a high school. Our "chief" was Mr. Merril of Merril, Lynch, Fenner and Smith. I met some people there who affected my live in not the best ways..imagine walking down the stairwell and meeting someone who would never let go...sometimes you never know who you meet. Those days were fun!!I used to cut classes and go to Tiffany's and Central Park and hang out. I miss Dr. Lawrence, headmaster of Rhodes. xoxoxoxoMelanieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17273840.post-59419000507471342772012-05-30T10:35:53.856-03:002012-05-30T10:35:53.856-03:00Ah, I went back to look at the old photos to compa...Ah, I went back to look at the old photos to compare.
