The Slice

“Go to Helllllllllllllllllllllgate!”

A friend and former colleague who grew up in Montana addressed a couple of Slice Blog issues -- searching for elementary schools with the same name as the one you attended and school counselors.

"I tried Rattlesnake Grade School. There is only one, although they call it Rattlesnake Elementary School now. So citifed. Did find a Rattlesnake Ridge Elementary in Tucson. How unoriginal.

Searched Hellgate High School, too, One of a kind. The name was great for some sophomoric cheers like 'Go to Hellllllllllllllllllgate!' Guess you had to be there. Seemed hilarious at the time.

"My high school counselor was a recent former Miss Idaho. When I was in her office I could never make eye contact. Probably how I ended up in journalism."
