Reply to Michelle: hunting for one's cellphone onlty to discover it in your back pocket... oh that is SO ME!!

Regarding the courses. I had a debilitating math anxiety caused at least in part by my brilliant structural-engineer alcoholic father. I came home one day soph year too excited with my news to notice he was already three sheets to the wind, and announced I had discovered how I could avoid taking trigonometry -- transfer to the Pre-Engineering program! Yeah! My father immediately tried to cut me down. Knowing I wanted to become a doctor like my mother, he claimed, WELL, if you DON'T take trigonometry, you'll NEVER GET INTO MEDICAL SCHOOL. He could've offered to find me a tutor but NNOOOO.

My angry/visceral reaction: FINE! Then I WON'T BE A DOCTOR!! Just like that.

He didn't live to see me become an Emergency Medical Technician (Ambulance -- not Paramedic) in the early 80s, and who besides my mom would've known what a Contact Tracer was, which I am in training for now, hired by Cook County Department of Public Health?* I think these fall under "obeying the spirit but not the letter of the law" (that he wanted to lay down), and righteously so. 

*Now if you haven't already, go get your flu shot and MASK UP!

Per C Pearson

Janet,

You beat me to the post of the course outline sheet. I have one as well. I did find my map of how to get to classes in freshman year. I was so turned around that I had to make notes and draw lines which way to go! Does this count as the first GPS?

Maja,

When you mentioned the law I found the rules and regulations sheet. 

I'm not sure how D-20 Classroom dishonesty worked? Any clues?

Edward Mc Carthy

Per,

That you kept that all these years....wow.  After looking at all those rules, is it any wonder how any of us made it through four years?  And you made mention of GPS......well, as long as those halls are.....yah, GPS can today differentiate down to several feet now so do you think the freshies use their pnones?  LMAO funny.  Do you think freshmen still get pennies tossed at them?  How many remember that?    

On another note......as we approach Thanksgiving, I am reminded of all the wonderful blessings and things I have to be thankful for.  On the list of 'things' are all of you on this message board, especially you Mich, who provides the glue that keeps all this together.  And to all of you, everyone,  who continue in the rich tarditions we experienced long ago and sharing them.  Sharing moments  of a more simple time in our lives.  I am thankful for all of you and the trips back down memory lane ( Lane ).  Life is good.  Life is short.  I am not sure how I got hooked up here.....but glad I did.  Thanks all!  A safe and blessed Thanksgving holiday to you all.

Per, I am shocked that I beat anyone to anything! Some days it seems I move as slow as molasses, but I keep moving! One day in my freshman year I didn't go right from division to the lunchroom, probably had to stop at the ladies room. I got lost trying to find the lunchroom and stopped someone to ask. They told me you can't miss it, it's right in the middle of the school. Well, I already knew that, but couldn't find the middle of the school. Guess my GPS wasn't working very well that day. That school was daunting, to say the least. I never got lost again!

Regarding the lack of class choices: After teaching college for 20 years, I'd be grateful for incoming freshmen who took four years of English, three years of History and Science, and sure, a couple of years of a foreign language. (I was going to write "other than English," but I reallize that sounds racist in a way I didn't intend!) For as leftie as my politics are, when it comes to education, I'm a strict conservative.

John...

I agree whole heartedly!

I went to Purdue and got a more "specialized" science degree.  But, having been through college with both my kids getting dgrees from liberal arts colleges I've wished I had gone that way myself.  Although the Purdue degree was very good, and has served me well, I saw that you can also get a very good science, or other, degree from a liberal arts university with a more general outlook... a more broad degeee.  Which has served my kids very well.  I was lucky in that I had a knack for reading and writing.  And, took some courses at Purdue, and had some specific professors that focused on reading and writing.  Many others didn't.  They taught their subjects very well, but only focused on those.

I had a freshman English professor that had us write A TON more than ony other prof did.  And, he spent a lot of time one-on-one with me to hone effective writing skills.  Little techniques that wouldn't normally be taught in a freshman course.  I also had a history professor that used about 6 texts during a semester, plus his lectures.  So we learned effective reading by having to read maybe 250 pages a week for just one course... plus taking notes on his lectures.  I really enjoyed his philosophy on "grade inflation."  He felt that a D should be an adequate grade.  You met the requirements of the course.  You passed.  He had stanfdards for C through B, also.  His standard for an A was simple... "you have to teach me something I don't know."  I also had two philosophy courses that turned out to be very good for computer programming... and for general life.  "Inductive Logic" and "Deductive Logic."  One of the profs used Richard Nixon speeches in class.  His speechwriter was a master.  He could write a speech that sounded perfect.  Really made his point.  Then we could prove that, logically, it made no sense at all.  Good practice for "critical thinking" which we all need today!

For a while I had the opportunity to work with some research scientists at Eli Lilly pharmaceuticals.  They were familiar with Lane Tech and loved it.  They lamented the fact that "college graduates we hire nowadays know their biology.  They just don't know how to BUILD anything.  A lot of what we do in research has never been done before, so we have to build the tools ourselves.  With the lack of 'industrial arts' in schools nowadays, no one learns how to build anything any more."

A tribute to the old Lane Tech.  We got solid foundation in English Math,Science and Foreign Language... but we also learned how to use our hands and minds together.  I wish schools could get back to more of that.  Lane was a "liberal arts" school before they were a thing.

Michelle Milkovic (Weiner)

Kudos to Janet and Per for their pack rat, I mean archival skills!  Per, I love the map with your routes sketched out... and second period start to your day?  That's downright decadent. 

Students at Lane today have a much broader array of electives than we ever had: Robotics, Women in Literature, Law and Mock Trial... and much more.  More clubs and sports too.  All the basics but also Lacrosse, water polo, volleyball, softball, even women's wrestling, but no gymnastics anymore Ed...

Here's what they thought Lane would look like in "the future", back in 1913...

 Happy Thanksgiving everybody!

I'm amazed, haven't participated in the forum in many many moons. I have trouble remembering everyone but I do remember Maya. Not sure if you would remember but I did meet your mother and I do recall she's a physician. 

I'm also amazed at the memories and memorabilia you all have. I would love to catch up.

John Simmers

Lisa,

Welcome -- or, welcome-back.

You mention not remembering everyone. I didn't either.

Actually, I don't recall that we knew each other back in the days at LTHS, however --- that's kind-of or truly one of the real beauties about being here too.

'Cause even if you don't exactly remember --- or, maybe, didn't even know, well --- now you do!

Happy Holidays to you --- and, all my other re-acquaintances and new-friends here too.

Hello all from warm and fairly sunny Florida.  A very merry wish to you all for a safe and fun Christmas season celebration and great family fellowship.  As 2021 emerges, we can only hope that it is no worse than 2020 was/is.  Maybe a 45th year gathering would be just what we need.........   Best wishes, ED

Deborah "Debbie" Tono

To one & all - Happy Holidays!

Will it really have been 45 yrs since graduation? How can that be??? We aren't that old!!! I remember when my parents were our age & I thought they were old back then!!!

Took a road trip back to Chicago in September and was flooded with tears from all the great memories - really haven't spent more than a 1-2 days in the city & it was usually just to get my food fix! My hubby was amazed at the size of LTHS - he grew up in the burbs. Sad to see many old haunts no longer exist - well yeah, it's been a few years eh? But LTHS was still there - in all of its glory & might! Dropped in on Michelle too!!! (Had our masks on & stayed w/in 6' for less than 15 mins!). My son now lives in the Uptown area - took a walk to the Lake & came upon the EXACT location that this foto was taken ....

... we were some hot chicks, eh ladies?!!! (Photo courtesy of Janet's archive)

Small world - my Son's soon-to-be fiancé is Irene Oki Ryniaks's daughter!!! Yes - a little 'Mom' intervention... Irene's Father was my Dad's closest & dearest friend!!!  Irene & I reconnected when  I passed thru Houston Airport 6-7 yrs ago  - serendipity!

Found out my Hubby's Grandparents are memorialized in Rosehill Cemetery! Was the virtual Halloween Cemetery tour recorded? 

Thanks Georgette - gonna try out the Apple Cake recipe today!

Hey Lisa - I remember ya from the 'good ol days'! I just received a text from Diane Hanamoto & she's doing well  (& looking great) in Sacramento. 

Have lost many friends & family members this year, so yes, I'm a bit sentimental this year.  Love this forum so please continue to post! 

Thanks Michelle for keeping the group together! Applaud your efforts!

Wishing all a safe & enjoyable holiday!

BTW - yes, I was nerdy & goofy back then. Really haven't outgrown the goofiness but am more experienced at nerdiness!

Andrea M Adam

All,

     Thanks Debbie Tono (and Janet) for the picture and the blast from the past. I remember that day on Foster Ave. beach. What innocent times those were. But it got me to thinking... Obviously that's a picture of Debbie, Micki (Monica) McAvinney and myself. You may recall that Micki and I were pretty much attached at the hip all through HS. We're still close to this day and, in fact, she's spending Christmas at my house.

     So I decided it would be a nice challenge to all who have similar connections (especially this time of year) to take a photo or two and put it on this website. If you're meeting with another '76er or even another alum (Michelle and Kelly or your sons) (Janet and Pete), why not snap a photo and add it to our forum. 

     I know many of us are social distancing so it's a difficult task this year, but let's spread a little Lane Love and share our friendships with others. I'll corner Micki and we'll get a photo or two uploaded (as soon as I get one of my kids to do it, right Michelle?).

     I hope everyone has a Merry, healthy and Happy Christmas.

Ken Ortiz

Debbie,

Great post and nice picture. It's always good to hit those old stomping grounds and relive memories. Things have changed in the area, but some places are still around. 

Andrea,

Not sure I will be getting together with any 76'ers in the near future but I am hoping that some of us who have gotten together before can meet up again in 2021. I will be looking forward to the 45th year reunion.


12/20/20 08:59 PM #1220    

 

Ken Ortiz

Hello my fellow 76’ers,
 
I wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. 2020 has been a very unique and also very difficult year for most of us to get through. We have had losses of family and friends and also classmates. Our sense of "normalcy" (yes, that is a word) has been impacted greatly, but hopefully, we can look forward to good things and a return to some normalcy in 2021. One thing I can take heart in, especially because of today being December 20th, is to continue to embrace life and to embrace this insane and wacky world and to appreciate everybody in our various Inner Circles while you can, because tomorrow is not guaranteed. 
 
Speaking of Inner Circles (IC's), in my Post #814, I mentioned that I would do a write up about ICP (Inner Circle Phenomena). I hope you enjoy the following as another of those “The Science of 60” observations like several I have posted previously. “WAOC" (With Acronyms Of Course). “WDLA?” (Who Doesn’t Love Acronyms?).
 
An Analysis of ICP - "WAOC"(With Acronyms Of Course)
One of the cool things about longtime friends and family is the development of Inner Circle Phenomena (or ICP for short). This is where you can communicate in various methods with an “Inner Circle” (IC) of individuals, where anyone “outside" the circle will have no idea what you are talking about. For example, I can say something to people within my inner circle (IC) and make them bust out laughing and those outside the circle will wonder why we are laughing for some comment (or phrase or movie/TV quote) I made. Now ICP can come in several different forms, but the main definition of an Inner Circle (IC) in these examples is that there was an “event/situation", where only a select few were there to personally witness it. And these select few could be family, friends, co-workers or even strangers, as there are various IC bubbles that we have had in our lives. Here are examples of some of these various forms of ICP I have experienced:
 
1) Those events in the past where only a few were witness to, and so memorable and/or embarrassing, that it even has a title put to it. And it works by having said “Inner Circle" members present and one of them saying: “Remember ……”
“That burning underwear fart?" <---also spawned a “phrase” (see 2)
“Brenda's party?”
“Your Chair Dancing at Tutti-Toots?”
“The Powder Puff Game?”
"That White Castle Incident?"
“When you fell in Lake Michigan?” (which was just the start of that day’s escapade)
“Aunt Pauline's 80th birthday party?”
 
Then there are those that when you get together with some folks you haven't seen in a while and you get reminded of an event (involving you) and you realize that they had already put a title to it. It was at my Aunt Pauline's 80th birthday celebration (held in Chicago) and we had several of my cousins from Dallas there. As I was talking with them and catching up, they still remembered the trip my parents and I took there to visit with them in 1977. Then one asked me: 
“Remember…That Disco in Dallas we went to?”
Then it came to me and we both busted out laughing and then we reminisced about that crazy evening (after I blushed for a moment) as she and I and only a couple of others were involved in that particular event.
 
Sometimes you can get "ICTS" (Inner Circle Title Spawning) or “ICPS” (Inner Circle Phrase Spawning) which are follow-up titles (or phrases) from the original one that are follow-ups to the same event period. Here is an example of “ICTS":
Remember…“That Oshkosh Tournament?” in which another person in the IC would “spawn"…
Remember…”Those quarter beers and magnets?” in which another person in the IC would “spawn"…
Remember…”That disgusting gaseous UNO card game there?”
 
2) Other ICP moments are when you can say a certain “phrase or quote" to a person within said IC, who was there during that event when that “phrase or quote” was spoken and they totally get it and remember said event when it happened. Some of my examples:
“Is the underwear burning?” (in heavy Spanish accent) <--- example of “ICPS” (Inner Circle Phrase Spawning)
“But does he have the big punch?……..Ohhhhhh!” 
“Madonna, you suck!”.........(crash) <---- happened at the Twin drive-in theater
“The Husky Hit" <‐--------from a college IC (Inner Circle), originated by another Lane 1976'er
"Don't pool balls belong in the pool?" <-----one involving me and the above Lane Alum 
“But Daaaad!” (in whiny kids voice) <---- at our Bears Super bowl game get together in 1986
“Yo! Rock and roll!” <---- from my bachelor party and my wedding (also in 1986)
“Hey! I know that girl!” <----- from my Las Vegas trip last year (a great sighting story, but not a Lane sighting)
“F***ing Sport Shot" <--- a recent bowling one
“I do it myself!” <---- this is one I shared with a different IC bubble recently and they thought it was so funny (once I explained to them how it came to be). Now they use that quote from time to time and we always get a laugh from it (they have learned to apply that one well). So you can share your ICP's among others, but they may not get the gist of it initially (because they were NOT THERE!).
Side note: Any of the above will send all those that were there for that particular IC event where that quote was originated to bust out laughing, guaranteed!
 
3) When you are able to incorporate a “Movie/TV Quote” into a conversation. I call that a “TOM/TVQ” (Throwing Out Movie/TV Quote). But the true ICP of this form is when the other person gets it and also acknowledges it. Here is an example:
Me: “So, how are things going?”
My bro (who is used to having these kinds of ICP’s with me): “Going okay, been pretty busy at work this week. How are things going with you?”
Me: “What a WEEK I am having!” <--- movie quote 
My bro: “Ahhhh! Splash! Good one!” As he then does the “TICRG” (Typical Inner Circle Response Gesture) at me, which is the “IFW” (Index Finger Wag).
Me: “So, how much longer before you start your vacation?”
My bro: “Two Weeks…Two Weeks…Two Weeks" <---another movie quote
Me: “Ahhhh! Total Recall! Good one!” And I also perform the “TICRG”
 
I refer to the above ICP as a “TOM/TVQICAGA-ICP" (Throwing Out Movie/TV Quote In Conversation And Getting Acknowledgement-Inner Circle Phenomena)
Side note: It is recommended to imitate the voice/emotion of the Movie/TV quote as close as possible for the best effect.
 
Sometimes I have a tendency to add some TOM/TVQ’s when I have conversations with family or friends, hoping that they get it, and thus, developing additional IC's. I have several that are even throwing some back at me and thus, we are both challenging each other on our recall of famous movie/TV program quotes and are also having more fun and meaningful conversations. But sometimes when I throw out one of mine to persons not used to this (and I sometimes throw out some pretty obscure and out there ones), I will get a blank and puzzled look from the other party. So that puts me at a decision point of whether to tell them to “never mind”, or to try to explain my Movie/TV Quote reference. I call that situation “TOM/TVQ-FD” (Throwing Out Movie/TV Quote-Fail Dilemma). Unfortunately, too many TOM/TVQ-FD situations will mean that you are “crashing and burning" (pseudo movie quote from “Top Gun”), and thus probably not connecting well with the other person(s).
 
One thing I found very fascinating is watching when two (or more) people who are in an IC have a conversation and interact. It is a thing of beauty to behold and for me being on the “outside" of it, I just embrace and appreciate that special bond they have. That happened to me recently during our 2020 “Community Read" event (held in February, before things went to COVID hell), where the book selected was “Joyland", by Stephen King. I read the book (twice, actually), to prepare myself for a couple of book review/discussion events being held that week. At one such book review I attended (at our Creative Space facility), I soon noticed that the conversations between a bookstore owner and another person there was definitely IC, as they were throwing out all kinds of comments and references that only they were getting and you could feel those two feeding off each other and the intensity growing. I was very impressed with their “IC" flow and I would guess they knew each other very well because they exhibited “DFADP" (Da Fire And Da Passion), and all you Chicago Bear fans should know that one. So I would call my experience that evening as an “OTICAAICP" (Outside The Inner Circle Admiring An Inner Circle Phenomena).
 
Actually, one of the best ways to impress people is when you are outside their IC flow, but you catch on to one of their IC references and can respond with an acknowledgement to that reference. I call that “SEAICFP" (Successfully Entering An Inner Circle Flow Phenomena). But a word of warning: It is a very risky maneuver. I liken it to an “All or Nothing" move. A big win or a big fail. So be 100% sure of that reference and how it is being used. Interrupting and killing off their “ICF” (Inner Circle Flow) is not a pretty sight. I call that unfortunate event "UEATITICFMP" (Unsuccessfully Entering And Thus Interrupting The Inner Circle Flow Momentum Phenomena).
 
Sometimes there can be an event where the same phrase or quote comes out of you all and at the same time, which I call “SICP” (Spontaneous Inner Circle Phenomena). That is the rarest of all the ICP forms. I had an SICP experience the fall of 2016 during the Cubs 2016 championship run. My bro and I walked (good decision that night) to a neighborhood pub a couple of blocks away to watch the Cubs vs. Dodgers NLCS game 6. That was also when “Cubs Nail Lady” (and, yes, I have a picture of her nails – see below) was sitting next to us, watching the game. That place was pretty crowded and filled with die hard Cubbie fans as it was in the Avondale area (near Belmont & Central Park). So when Wilson Contreras hit that late inning home run to essentially put the game out of reach, (and to also lead the Cubs to their first World Series appearance in our lifetime) my bro and I both stood up and yelled “WILLLLSONNNN!!!”, just like Tom Hanks did in the movie Castaway. And it was an SICP because neither one knew the other was going to do that. What made that event even more amazing was that “Cubs Nail Lady" also jumped up and also yelled “WILLLLLLSONNNNN!” at the same time and just like my bro and I did. And she was not even in our "IC" (Inner Circle). That is the first time I ever experienced a Person Outside The Inner Circle Melding With A Spontaneous Inner Circle Phenomena, or “POTICMWASICP”. As my bro and I stared open mouthed at her after the home run celebration, she yelled “I am going to Wrigley Field to celebrate!”, ran out of the bar and we never saw her again.

Thanx Everyone for welcoming me back. Just in time for the holidays and I learned from Ken the ICP. It is nice to hear that many of us have really worked their hardest to get through the pandemic. I am sure we'll have a special ICP for Covid. Despite what is happening in Great Britain I'm sure this will turn out like the flu shots. A different strain a different year. That goodness for science! 

I wish everyone a very happy holiday season and thank you Ed for remembering my birthday! <3

I believe Per Pearson took this photo. I always assumed it was in German class or drafting? Looks like I am reading the Lane Warrior paper. A lot of hope for the future was captured!

Ken Ortiz

Hello all and a Happy New Year,

Like Timmy said, hopefully we can have a better 2021, but for me, I finished 2020 in an awesome way!

Yesterday morning (12/31/2020) I became "AGFTFT" (A Grandpa For The First Time). It's a boy and Mom (my Daughter) and baby are doing fine. 

So now I will be looking for suggestions from you on what some “CTTDWG/G" (Cool Things To Do With Grandbaby/Grandchild) items should be, since our class of 76’ers should have lots of experience with handling grandchildren.

I also remember a few cool things I did when I was a “Little Dude"<---movie quote, so I hope to do/experience some of those with my grandson (who will now be the new “Little Dude", as he is the first grandchild for me and my ex-wife and also the first great-grandchild for my ex's mom). He also was designated as “The Bomb Pop Sour” baby yesterday (in a different Inner Circle and that would need some explaining to those outside that circle). 

I have listed several items (not in any particular order) on my GBL (Grandpa Bucket List), but please chime in with more cool things:

1) Roll down grassy slopes with my grandson. I did this when I was a child when we visited Meigs Field and there were some good grassy slopes there, even though I rolled alone as my grandparents did not partake. I just did this again over Thanksgiving with a couple of family youngsters. One time was good enough for me that day (ow). 

2) When I was a bit older (grammar school), I also was fascinated by the exhibits at the Adler Planetarium (also in Meigs Field), especially stepping on the scales representing the different planets and seeing what my weight would be based on the gravity of those specific planets. 
So: Take “Little Dude" to the Planetarium and do all things “cosmic" together.

3) Play with blocks, stack them, knock them down, etc. Then let him play with blocks after I am done.

4) Pick up pacifier from floor and suck on it to clean it off before giving it back to him.

5) Tell him stories about his mom when she was a baby/child. Especially stories that will make his mom blush.

6) Teach him how to make "Snow Angels". I have recent experience in making snow angels.

7) Be the one to take him on his first “throw up" ride. Hopefully it will not be me that throws up.

8) Take him to Brookfield Zoo and imitate the sounds of the animals we see. I have some talent for making animal sounds and I do this even now when I visit petting zoos/corn maze farms/etc. (ROM syndrome – see 9)).

9) Entertain him by doing various voices and noises. Even though I can do a number of animal sounds, cartoon voices and other silly noises, now is a good time to improve them and add some more. Yes, this is ROM (Regression Of Maturity) syndrome at it's POMI (Point Of Most Immaturity). I have found that having a grandchild is one of the highest contributors to the Immaturity slope. Now I have an excuse to act like a child again.

Janet Peterson (Ingraffia)

Ken, you sure ended the year with a bang! Congratulations on being a grandpa! I'm sure there will be many more stories coming out with all your new experiences. Enjoy every moment!  Happy New Year to all!
