Thank heavens that I was spared this
foolishness. My father went through it, having
to wear a Freshman Beanie at age 31, and him a combat vet. Go figure.
I went to a decent school system which had a
Junior High which accommodated Grade Nine. So, I
entered High School in Grade Ten, and immediately
got a slot on the Debate Team and the Student
Court and the Model UN (trust me: they had been
warned and were waiting for me). I attended
college at Washington & Lee which restricted such
demeaning activities to the Fraternities but,
what the hey, my folks were broke and I was
socially inept, so I went four years as a member
of the Gamma Delta Iota house. (Figure it out,
guys: it is not hard. This is not a matter for Bletchley Park.)
A stepson-in-law is a member of the Coast Guard
and, every time he is promoted, they seem to
require him to go through some sort of initiation ceremony. I am appalled.
