May 1983 was a very happy time for me. I was 15. I was in so-called "Landschulheim": your whole school class goes on vacation together, with your main teacher and a second teacher of the opposite gender. Usually the lodging is hostle-like. Four, six or even eight pupils share one room with bunk beds (and that's part of the fun  :)).
The teachers try their best to keep males and females apart from another during the nights, but the kids will always find a way to sneak in  ;D.
We were in the Dolomites, a part of the Alps and our teachers had us hiking or visiting museums for hours and hours. Also part of the fun was to escape from their surveillance and sit in a pub instead of a museum  ;D.
The boy I had been crazy about for months and I finally came together there in Landschulheim, yay! But boy, he was such an Ennis. Although he was just as crazy for me (as I learned much, much later) he couldn't be free and open about it. He was so inhibited and uptight, the thing between us ended soon later.
And I started smoking up there in the mountains of the Alps ::). Yes, Landschulheim is a Gomorrah - hell for the teachers but heaven for the teenagers  :laugh:.

Wow, May of 1983!
I was 16 and this exact weekend (may 5th) was my Prom. I Picked my girlfriend up in my '73 cutlass.
I was a junior in highschool. With the world in front of me.
Oh if I only knew then what I know now!
I worked at Johnsons hardware store after school. The store closed at noon on Wednesdays so everyone could go to Church for Wednesday night prayer meetin.
Boy, life was a lot simpler then for me!
