I REMEMBER WHEN
Broken bones did not stop him Photo memories DONNIE PRYE
Juniata High School Class of 1984 The photo shows me during a typical lunch period in the first few months of 10th grade at Juniata High School. I broke my tib [tibia] and fib [fibula] the summer before high school started and spent my days in a wheelchair. That made it hard to maneuver in the cafeteria, so I just sat out in the hallway. The upside to all this was that a lot of the girls wanted to sign my cast when they were going to and from lunch! I also got to use the eleva-
tor which most kids didn’t even know existed. Fire drills when I was on the second floor were sketchy because a few of the bigger football players had to carry me down the steps. Gym class was spent in the library which suited me fine because I was, and still am, a big reader. I made it through the ordeal and went on to graduate in 1984, but not without the help of many people, including Mom and Dad of course. But also my old friend, Clarence Hostetler, who was with me at school and drove me home everyday.
