Sue Smith died way too young.   Sue as we all know was built differently than the rest of us gals.  this embarrassed her terribly.  I remember in PE class our pe teacher let her go take a shower five minutes before the rest of us so that she wouldn't be embarrassed.  When we got a new PE teacher she wouldn't let Sue have that private five minutes.  So Sue stood her ground and refused to shower.  The pe teacher told her if she didn't shower she would give her an F in the class.  Sue stood her ground and her rights.   So led by the mighty Boots she got a group of us to also refuse to shower and that meant an F for us also.  The numbers grew and many said they wouldn't shower.   The PE teacher said fine take Fs......until JOHN COOPER came to school and talked to the principal and threatened to go to the board.   Needless to say Sue got her five minutes.   I know she thanked me and I am sure she thanked each and every one of us who stood up for her.  She didn't feel a lot of support from us  before that happened.   Sue was quiet and we really didn't get to know her very well...Her death was a shock and sad because she felt so alone.
