Re: GESO: Julian High, 1975 to 1980
Excellent collection of photos, thanks also for sharing the story behind them. The problems facing urban schools in particular (and to a degree all American schools) are huge and beyond the scope of any one person to solve, but individuals, especially teachers, can still contribute to the growth of the students and your photos clearly show that positive process at work. Looking forward to seeing more scans. Mark On 6/5/2015 9:18 PM, paul stenquist wrote: I taught English Lit and Composition at a very special place called Percy L. Julian High School from 1975 to 1980. Prior to my years at Julian I had been teaching at one of the worst schools in Chicago — Austin High School — a West Side school that had gone from 100% white to 100% black in a few years. The administration and the largely white staff didn’t know what to do, the school was out of control and on fire frequently and, at one point, the National Guard had to be called in. In 1975 the federal government mandated faculty integration, meaning that if you were a white teacher at a school that had too many white teachers and you wanted to transfer to a school that had too many black teachers, they had to allow you to apply for a position. I had heard about Julian. It was an all-black school on the south side of Chicago. It wasn’t a white school that had re-segregated but rather a brand new school that a prosperous middle class black community had fought for. I applied, the principal approved it, and the largely black staff welcomed me and several other Austin teachers with open arms. I had some great classes and some wonderful kids at Julian. I taught Honors English 3 and a special double-period Humanities class. The kids and I went to the Chicago Symphony, the opera and a number of theatrical presentations. We had a great marching band, majorettes and cheerleaders. All in the mid 70s when the white kids in the suburban schools were thumbing their noses at those kind of things. We also had a fabulous football team, and in 1979 we became the first public school in almost 20 years to win a city championship over the predominantly white catholic league schools. I documented much of my time at Julian on film. I have several thousand transparencies and BW negs that I shot during those five happy years. I’ve just begun scanning some of them. I started with that 1979 football championship, but I have many more that I will eventually scan. In March of 1980 I was offered a job in New York at Hearst Magazine Division. The Chicago Board of Education had run out of money and had stopped paying the teachers. We were on the picket line when I got the call. I crossed the line, walked into the office to turn in my resignation on Thursday afternoon, March 7, 1980 and flew to New York the next morning. I still feel guilty. Today, Julian is still somewhat better than the other Southside Chicago High Schools, but the magic is largely gone. The entire south side of Chicago is a mess. The gangs are in control, and kids are shot on the street every day. A number of Julian kids have been killed on their way home from school. It’s had for me to imagine. It’s heartbreaking. Here are the first of my Julian scans. The way it was 40 years ago. http://photo.net/photodb/folder.tcl?folder_id=1080368 --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!

Re: June PUG is up!!
I had to go back and look at the June PUG again after all the comments about Ken's The Lake - Lake Superior. It is indeed an image worthy of the kudos. When converting it to digital I believe I would have done a slight image rotation to correct the vertical lines. Similarly, I thought Jack Davis' Tahoe Silhouette is a fetching image with my only niggle being that the distant shoreline seems a bit off level.

By golly you're right, Darren. I just checked and found the left edge (at the frame) to be nearly 1/32 lower. ;-)) I do feel that the cloud line contributes a bit to the effect. (?)

I really like the first one - immediately brought to mind Harry Callahan's 1967 calendar and the photo for October, which depicts an unbroken sea of dried leaves. You got the spring version. I also really like the moody lighting and the very deep green. Not in your post but seen on flickr - 20150520-IMGP8142.jpg is also quite nice.

Re: Favorite June Pug
I enjoy visiting the U.P. in late June - the days are very long given the northern latitude and the blackfly season is usually winding down or maybe even over. I did a 6 day workshop last June, at the beginning of the month, and had the worst experience with mosquitoes that I've ever had - this includes numerous trips to Alaska (where the mosquitos are so big, some claim they are the state bird) probably 40 or so trip to the U. P. The mosquitoes were so bad I had to use the shelter of a car to change lens on several occasions the swarm was so bad it changed the exposure on a given scene. But, there were no blackflies, which I feel are far worse than mosquitos - they can leave nasty welts. The tics were as bad as I've ever experienced - even tho I was fully clothed and 'sealed up' I had to do full body scans when I was done for the day. In spite of the issue with bugs, I really enjoy the many aspects of the U P. year round.

The local paper said that L'Anse (the nearest actual town) hit 105F and was hotter than Phoenix, AZ that particular day. But then we visited Grand Marais in July, 2011 and nights dropped into the 30's with a steady 40mph wind off the lake.
