To keep it short, we had an art show that year. When my old man saw the class exhibit, a ten foot tall purple Tyrannosaurus Rex, sporting mirrored shades, gold chains, a fedora with a large green feather and smoking a cigar named "Sweet Daddy T. Rex". He looked me right in the eye and said;

"Let me guess. It's reefer, isn't it?"

Art class was a blast for me, too. The teach had a standing order for a record player from the library and we could bring anything we wanted to listen to. The first time I heard Blows Against The Empire by Jefferson Starship was in that class.
