Had homeroom with math teacher. I was an "A" student and very quiet. When she chewed me out for talking during homeroom, I talked back to her and everyone cheered. Not much, I know, but we all take our moment in the limelight whenever we can.
Five siblings also graduated from Pearce. Jim (class of '72, died in '85) was the first handicapped student at Pearce, at a time when there were no handicap facilities. Kids from his classes would carry him in his walker up and down the stairs. Matt (class of '87) played football for Pearce, and was featured as "the jock" on the reality show "High School Reunion" when it featured Pearce in 2007.
