The legacy of John ‘ Squirrel’ Mosley

It was a chilly rain laced windy day on the first day of school at Schenley High School in September of 1967. My mind was in a tizzy. I was told that if you were a freshman, seniors were given permission to kick your “butt” at any time during your first week of attendance. My exterior demeanor could not have remotely exhibited how petrified I was as I entered the south entrance of the school. One of the first classes that I had signed up for was band. It was the sixth period, right after lunch. I had gotten through the initial five periods and lunch period unscathed and without any major injuries to report but my upcoming band class could be another matter. JOHN ‘SQUIRREL’ MOSLEY
