13.Mothers High School Years


Webster Schroder High School was the only High School in Webster at the time that my mom had gone there. With very lenient rules my mom remembers high school as some of the best times she has had. Some of her best memories come from her senior year in 1982. After driving to school in a 1976 Camaro, my mom would attend a few classes, but spend much of her time hanging out around school or would leave school with a group of friends and hang out at different places around Webster. She was a varsity tennis player and played on the team until the end of her senior year. Her high school dances, prom and ball were held in her high school cafeteria. While attending Schroder High School my mom remembers how different it is from high school today. With a smoking lounge right next to the cafeteria it was not unusual for someone to smoke inside the school building during their school day. At night my mom would get ready in her jordache jeans get her hair all done up in a perm and go through cans of hairspray to keep her hair nice and curly. Since Disco music was very popular in the early eighties my mom would go to club 2001 or Club 747 and disco dance. Another popular hangout for high school kids was Flaherty’s. Flaherty’s is a tavern in Webster. This was a very big hang for kids at the time from the ages of 16 up to about 21 everyone would go there. After her High school graduation ceremony in her Schroeder’s gym, my mom decided to go to Monroe Community College as well as work part time as a mortgage originator at Nothnagle Home Securities. My mom decided that she really enjoyed working in real estate and decided to drop out of MCC.
