Mrs. Chambers said if we were in it the full three years (4th-6th grade) we would get a "special award". I was in it all three years and was even vice-president one year and recorded a public service announcement for a public radio station about how fun it was to learn history. But I never got my "special award" because I missed the last 3 weeks of school with pneumonia and therefore I missed the awards assembly. Mom went to go pick up my stuff at the end of the school year and they had nothing for me. She gipped me. At that moment history stopped being fun! All my screaming at the end of the pledge (I-N-D-I-A-N-A, INDIANA!) was for not. I hope those bracers screwed up her teeth. I’m still bitter about Little Hoosiers.
