June 2023

Back around 1990 I authored a book on the social sciences.  The publisher wanted a

flashy cover and sent a photographer over to Parkdale for that purpose.  A flashy cover

entailed getting the students involved.  So i was permitted to make an announcement over

the PA the day before the photographer arrived.

“Tomorrow a publisher is sending a camera person to our school in

order to design a hard cover for a book.  The book is about you.  So it seems 

only fitting that you become the cover.  I don’t know which picture will be

selected … but some of you will be on that cover.  Meet me outside the school

tomorrow at 3.30l

One of our students knew how to become the cover girl.  She got all dressed up…wore a ice dress with polka dots.

And sure enough she became the dominating figure on the book cover.

Amusing?   It certainly was amusing to the staff and students.  Why?  Because she never

wore a dress to school except on that day.
