He'd never have approved of that wild frivolity!

The jazz instructor was a whole 'nother story. He owned a car I'd never heard of in my non-auto-centered family - a 442. I later heard tales of wild parties and perhaps some hitting on single (or maybe not) teachers as well.

Fun and games were a bit more common I guess in the creative side of HS, versus the math, science, and language regimes!
