Introduction to agriculture In the 50s I was in elementary school at Biscoe High School in Montgomery County. All the grades were in the same school during those years. This is the era before drugs and alcohol became rampant, so the pranks had to be homespun. On the day after Halloween, as my bus started up the school drive, we saw all the trees were in full bloom with toilet tissue. On the roof of a flat-roofed building that housed two classes along with the girls’ and boys’ locker rooms someone had put a local farmer’s wagon. The farmer’s cow was upstairs in the library with a full stomach and a good dose of laxatives. As soon as we went into the classrooms, the school officials sent us back home. There wasn’t much damage, and the high school boys were blamed, but no one was ever caught. I don’t know if it was the cow pies or the lack of toilet paper that gave us the day off.
