Sherman, set the Way-Back Machine

Your host in fourth grade. A MINI me.

Yeah, that's me in what I believe to be a fourth grade photo from [booming voice] CATHOLIC SCHOOL!!! [booming voice fades away] These photos of my brothers and I come to me courtesy of my cousin, Karan. Good God look at my 1970's hair! It's practically an afro! And check out the patriotic background - anything to make you stop looking at my hair - with waving American flag, which is likely out of date and only containing 48 stars, and there's the Capitol Dome too. I am still trying to remember what the open book prop was. It was probably a guilt laden religious text of Catholic dogma with drawings of smiling priests helping young boys into dark confessionals. Either that or an American History text. I do remember that these photos were taken in the cafeteria, which was located under the church itself and to get to it we had to take this tunnel that ran under the recess yard (surrounded by a high wrought iron fence with gate) from the basement of the school.
