Carol Perkins: Party Crashers Previous Column: Skirts and Totes for OCC By Carol Perkins I have no memory of ever crashing a party. It took me all these years to cross that off my "to do" list. Never did I dream it would be at a class reunion for my former students. The Class of '78. When one of the class members text me about attending, I accepted. Susan Chambers and I planned to go together and reunite with many of this group whom I had not seen since they graduated. The one who invited us was the only one to know our plan. We dressed up in housecoats, house shoes, rolled-down socks, shawls, and hair sticking up like we had slept on it, and headed to the party with our walkers. Carolyn Best, also invited, joined us in her attire. We waited until the class was seated in the "old section" of the former MCHS gym (locals will understand what I mean) and made our entrance, yelling at each other to hurry and pretending we were going to a visitation, with Susan asking who died. We had a little skit prepared, shocking the entire group. Then we gave them a literature test. You should have heard them moan. Questions like, "Who died first? Romeo or Juliet?" Most said Juliet and missed the answer. We asked about Macbeth and Hamlet and Atticus Finch and Ben Franklin. It was fun to watch them compete. We ate with a couple of former students. They asked permission to eat at the "teachers' table." That's what it was called when we were teaching. They reminded us of events we'd forgotten, and we talked about their teaching careers. Many in this class were teachers and administrators. One young man talked to me about his writing. I LOVED to know he continued to write and want to read his works. When I told a friend that we were dressing up like "old women," she said, "Really?" Only then did it occur to me that both of us are considered "old" by society's standards. We may be old, but we still know how to perform! Thanks for inviting these three Old Ladies. You can contact Carol at carolperkins06@gmail.com. This story was posted on 2023-08-19 10:53:00
