I remember with more than a little incredulity to this day that those of us who took the day off of school to go to the big parade for astronaut John Glenn were penalized by our American History teacher, Mr. Magee for being absent on the day of a test. As I recall he downgraded us one full grade when he gave us a make-up. (Unless he just threatened...I can't remember for sure!)
