Silent Sunday

A very special Pi Day. Once in a century. Tomorrow, 3.14.15 is it. Get ready!
Celebrated at school today, 3-13-15._ Spearheaded by Mrs. Mihalic. Creating some spirit!
There were numbers posted all around the hallways on the 800 level to who-knows-what place…..some cool art which I didn’t get to photograph yet.
And my neighbor across the hall…. I went in this morning and said “Hey, where’s your Pi shirt?” and then she turned around and showed me!
The librarian, wearing the machine stitched embroidery shirt her Mother, J.E., created esepcially for her.

Mrs. Mihalic, math teacher, created a wildly spirited event, complete with Pi Day cookies she special ordered from Eat’n Park
In the cafeteria there was a game where students could win a slice of pie. (Similar to a Cake Walk)
Posting this one so you can see how you had to land on a certain number when the music stopped to win a slice of pie.
Photographed by Steve after school Friday the 13th. I’m wearing one of the shirts Mrs. Mihalic created.
A different shirt worn by one of my photography students.Everyone was getting in on the festivities.
Lots of images came to mind.
The trick was digging around in the files and finding what I was envisioning for the Weekly Photo Challenge: Descent created by Cheri Lucas Rowlands at WordPress. Her example was excellent.
Here is my gallery of descent.

Some random Skycoaster riders at Kennywood. Lots of screams

This morning, when I heard today’s date, I realized it was on this day, eighty years ago, that my parents married. (Well I had a bit of help as my friend counted the decades by tens.)Although they passed away in 2000 and 2002 I was thinking about their wedding day all those years ago.
Durand Illinois. August 28, 1939. Not sure who took this home movie but here are a few shots from the screen. Roy Joseph Hendricks and Marian Van Sickle and family members in photos below.
