I just realized that come September its gonna be ten years since I started High School at the Montfort Academy. Thats absurd. There are events in your life which people call transformational and Montfort was that for me. The experiences I had in that school shaped my life, my faith, and my career. In honor of 10 years I thought Id give some of the first impressions that I had of each of my classmates and teachers at Montfort. I dont keep up with some (all) of you as much as I should and Ill try to rectify that. However those were some good good times. Peter Thomas: For some reason I remember the first ever comment I made to you. I had that backpack last year. It broke within 6 months. It lasted 3 years didnt it? Dann Genn: You reminded me of bullies I knew back in Middle School. What Im saying is I thought you were a jerk. Thank God I was wrong. Alessandro Marchetti: I remember thinking of you more as a rival until my... what second year? I remember a moment in Mr. Huffs biology class second year, and Col. Petrillo came into the room to announce somehting. For some reason you stood up on the chair and Col. Petrillo said If any of you had hair on your chest you would knock him off that chair right now. I did. Marc Kearney: For some reason the first couple of days of school I was doubtful whether you were the person I knew from Middle School or not. Of course you knew right away. I cant get away from the Peter Kraplan and comments. Stephen Edelson: We always fought (physically) for some reason. Im not quite sure why. You were the human calculator which made for some funny times in Mr. Fureys class. Jordan E. Thoma: Remember when you fell asleep in Classroom 3 underneath a pile of coats during Mark W. Ingoglios class? The entire school went searching for you for 20 minutes. Jon Fisher: I remember this really silly moment during Ians production of Nightmare Before Christmas during the song Making Christmas where I played the Mad Scientist and you pushed me off stage. Apparently this was the proper acting according to Ian. AJ Liguori: During Fr. Pauls 4th Year Theology class he asked all of us to bring in articles on some Ethics-related topic. You brought in an article from The Onion. Laughter ensued. Christian Hanley: You always somehow managed to survive Bratts Shakespeare plays. Maybe he just liked you? Daniel Jude: Herman you are not a Texan Was that your line or did Marc make that up for you? Jon Kriz: The Fish Dance. That is all. If you understand that Im sorry. Ian: Lord Byron. Mr. Furey: Thats Asinine Fellas! Miss Sticco: In my first year at Montfort we were reading through a section of the Old Testament. It was the procession of the Ark of the Covenant into Jerusalem. One of the processors touched the Ark and died as a result. I came into school and confessed my bemusement with this in class. Miss Sticco said: I just knew you were going to comment on this Herman! Mr. Bratt: I was pretty (read very) introverted when I first came to Montfort. The first time I remember that being different was when we were reading the Iliad during your class. For some reason I decided to stand up and shout something in the middle of class. Everyone stared at me puzzled for about a minute. Then you all started laughing at me. Jerks Mr. Forrest: We had a four year joke going about how terrible my writing was. I think at first you thought I was lazy. I was scared of you my first year. Mr. Huff: We were conducting a biology experiment my Sophomore year. It involved the process of natural selection as brown rabbits (brown beans) slowly overtook white rabbits (white beans) due to their advantageous adaptation. It was taking too long. You asked after class What did we learn from class? I responded That artificial selection is better than natural selection. You stared back at me with a straight face and said Well thank you Mr. Hitler. Mr. Chiodo: What was Mr. Herman thinking? Did we ever answer that question? Brian A. Jenkins: We played Chess all the time. For some reason you kept letting me take back my bad moves. What was that about? Mark W. Ingoglio: We were reading English lit in your 3rd year literature course. We had just finished reading A Midsummer Nights Dream. I criticized it. Heavily. I remember the horrified look on your face because you thought for sure I would like it. I was only half serious. Mr. Kozinski: I think my love for Philosophy started with your class. You were intense and maybe a little frighting. But boy was your class fun. If I left anyone out let me know.
