Kid in St. Paul – no heroes – no advisors on your own – Depend on own judgement.
I was no athelete to speak of – did wrestle on the Washington High School team with Tully Hickman (from Rondo St.) a black body builder used to take me on. 145 lbs. He was always working out and too sweaty and slippery to get a grip on.
Embarrassed to do Football posters (student dance posters too) because it was not prestigious. The attitude was to be a member of team was more significant
It was not worth the effort – teamwork and plays were not for me.
(COLERAGE – A UNION OF EMOTION AND THOUGHT THE GENERIC AND INTEIDUAL THE UNIVERSAL AND THE PARTICULAR THE OBJECTIVE AND SUBJECTIVE) HIGH SCHOOL (WASHINGTON) READING THE RISE OF THE ANCIET MARINER SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERAGE
1772-1834
SILAS TOMKYN COMBERABACH – ASSUME NAME AS DRAGOON
SET UR “PANTISOCRACY”
I wrote some poems while an art student (prose-poems) in which I referred to a bloody sun at noon. A red sun. 45 years later reading the Rise of the Ancient Mariner I realized I had recalled at that time 1949 the high school reading in 1937
